Numeracy and mathematical thinking encompasses many different elements- recognising numerical symbols, verbalising numbers, recognising patterns and shapes. It involves a variety of skills such as understanding numbers, counting, problem solving, measuring, sorting and patterning. Applying skills in all areas of life should be embedded in the environment and throughout the curriculum with a variety of materials being used to encourage exploration, enquiry and problem solving (Realising the Ambition, 2020).
Professional Learning Resource
Education Scotland have created a number of Professional Learning Resources which suggest ways in which we can examine our Spaces, Interactions and Experiences to enhance our Maths and Numeracy provision.
There are Professional Learning Resources for each organiser, which include practical examples of materials and activities that would help support the learning within that organiser.
