Numeracy and Mathematics

 

Teaching our pupils to become numerate continues to be one of the key focuses in Scottish education today.  Here at Smithton, we are continually looking at ways to improve the learning and teaching of maths, with an eye on raising attainment across the school from Nursery through to Primary 7.

Number:  Add +, Subtract , Multiply x, Divide ÷

Fractions, Decimal Fractions and Percentages

Money

Time

Measurement:  Length, Weight, Volume

Shape:  2D Shape and 3D Objects
