Curriculum for Excellence

How are the numeracy experiences and outcomes structured?

The numeracy experiences and outcomes have been structured using eight organisers:

  • Estimation and rounding
  • Number and number processes
  • Fractions, decimal fractions and percentages
  • Money
  • Time
  • Measure
  • Data and analysis
  • Ideas of chance and uncertainty.

All of these areas of numeracy will be familiar and all teachers will recognise how they impact on their own lives. Reflecting on this will help teachers to identify where opportunities may exist to develop numeracy for children and young people.
