I would like to put forward that I do not like the term “numeracy”. In fact, I think I dislike it as much as the word “literacy”...
The reason, however, might not be why you think!
In my experience, like literacy is too often confused with English as a subject, numeracy is too often confused with mathematics as a subject. In each case, both are not interchangeable and it is vital we consider both in separation.
In this article, I want to outline two major changes that we have embedded at Siddal Moor Sports College, where I am the head of maths. These changes have been to improve pupils’ numeracy and also to embed mathematics across the curriculum.
