Mathematics & Numeracy
Numeracy involves applying and connecting the five mathematical skills in a range of real-life contexts, within the Mathematics and Numeracy Area of Learning and Experience, and the wider curriculum. There are five main areas that have been identified in the new curriculum:
-
Conceptual understanding; having the knowledge to understand and explain a mathematical concept.
-
Communication with symbols.
-
Strategic competence (i.e. formulating problems mathematically in order to solve them).
-
Logical reasoning.
-
Fluency
Our approach to Mathematics and Numeracy at Dolau Primary School aims to develop all these areas in a purposeful and meaningful way for all our pupils.
