In S1, S2 and S3 all pupils will attend maths for four periods every week. They will also experience numeracy in all other subjects across the curriculum.

Pupils follow a Broad General Education from S1 to S3 and will cover topics in Number/Money/Measure, Shape/Position/Movement and Information Handling in line with Learning Outcomes and Experiences from Curriculum for Excellence.This should enable pupils to:

• develop a secure understanding of the concepts, principles and processes of mathematics and apply these in different contexts.
• engage with more abstract mathematical concepts and develop new kinds of thinking
• understand the application of mathematics and its impact on society past and present
• develop essential numeracy skills to allow full participation in society
• establish firm foundations for further specialist learning
• become financially aware and effective money managers
• interpret numerical information in order to draw conclusions, assess risk, make reasoned evaluations and informed decisions
• apply skills and understanding in order to solve problems within a variety of contexts
• appreciate that effective use of technologies can enhance the development of skills and concepts

This curriculum will then prepare pupils for appropriate National Qualification at National 3, National 4 or National 5 in S4.
