NUMERACY POLICY
OFSTED’s expectations of numeracy:
When reporting on standards in mathematics, check attention to numeracy and
students’ competence in using their knowledge, skills and understanding of number
not only in mathematics but also in other subjects.
A definition of numeracy:
Numeracy is confidence and competence with numbers and measures.
National Numeracy Strategy
Numerate students:
- have a sense of size of a number and where it fits into the number system;
- recall number and measurement facts quickly;
- use what they know to figure out an answer;
- have a range of mental and written calculation strategies;
- make sense of number problems and recognise which operation is needed;
- know when their answers are sensible;
- can explain their methods;
- suggest suitable units for measuring;
- can explain and make predictions from data in a graph, chart or table.
- can solve number problems involving time
- have a repertoire of computational skills.
