Introduction
What is the purpose of the booklet?
This booklet has been produced to give guidance and help to staff, students
and parents. It shows how certain common Numeracy topics are taught in
mathematics and throughout the school. It is hoped that using a consistent
approach across all subjects will make it easier for students to progress.
How can it be used?
The booklet includes the Numeracy skills useful in subjects other than
mathematics.
It is intended that staff from all departments will support the development of
Numeracy by reinforcing the methods contained in this booklet. If this is not
possible because of the requirements of your subject, please highlight this to
students and inform a member of the Numeracy group, so that the booklet can
be updated to include this information next session.

It should be noted that the context of the question, whether a calculator is
permitted or not and the nature of the numbers involved has the potential to
change the given level.
Why do some topics include more than one method?
In some cases (e.g. percentages), the method used will be dependent on the
level of difficulty of the question, and whether or not a calculator is
permitted.
For mental calculations, pupils should be encouraged to develop a variety of
strategies so that they can select the most appropriate method in any given
situation.
