This area of the curriculum involves the children in number work, money, measurement, shape, Position and movement, information handling and problem solving.

Through the Numeracy Programme we introduce children to increasingly complex mathematical ideas. Alongside this programme, teachers give strong emphasis to mental calculation. The children are actively involved in their learning and are given practical material and equipment to help their understanding.

In addition to the above, mathematical activities arising from their work in other areas of the curriculum help to communicate to the children the idea that mathematics, like English Language, is relevant to everyday living. Children are given opportunities to apply and practise their skills in realistic and problem solving situations through an active approach to learning.
