Learning in mathematics enables pupils to:
- develop a secure understanding of the concepts, principles and processes of mathematics and apply these in different contexts, including the world of work
- engage with more abstract mathematical concepts and develop important new kinds of thinking
- understand the application of mathematics, its impact on our society past and present, and its potential for the future
- develop essential numeracy skills which will allow me to participate fully in society
- establish firm foundations for further specialist learning
- understand that successful independent living requires financial awareness, effective money management, using schedules and other related skills
- interpret numerical information appropriately and use it to draw conclusions, assess risk, and make reasoned evaluations and informed decisions
- apply skills and understanding creatively and logically to solve problems, within a variety of contexts
- appreciate how the imaginative and effective use of technologies can enhance the development of skills and concepts.

Maths Week 2019
We held a Family Learning Event during Maths Week Scotland 2019. Parents/Carers were invited in to the nursery and classrooms to share numeracy learning with their children. We were also very fortunate to have a number of parents who volunteered to speak to their child’s class about how they use maths in their workplace. This helped children to make connections between numeracy and the world of work. The Numeracy Newsletter can now be viewed here Numeracy Newsletter 2019.
Maths Week Scotland 2018
Maths Week Scotland 2018 was used to launch our new approaches to numeracy. We held a parental event to explain the new approaches then invited parents/carers to various workshops and to view our new resources to support more active learning in numeracy. Click below for a copy of the presentation and hand outs from this event.
