Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy (2011) Numeracy Activity 1 ‐ Teaching and Learning for Effective Numeracy Skills
Teaching strategies Contexts for learning (numeracy across learning/application) Links to other aspects of numeracy to support the development of measurement or fractions decimal fractions and percentages Manipulatives/visuals/concrete experience How would you assess knowledge, understanding and skills in these areas? What would evidence of knowledge, understanding and skills look like? (consider breadth, challenge, application, familiar and unfamiliar situations)
Activity 1 ‐ Learners’ Understanding and Skills 2 Choosing one exemplar (A or B) from the examples on page1 discuss: How can we support learners’ understanding of these concepts?
Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy (2011) Numeracy Workshop 1 ‐ Teaching and Learning for Effective Numeracy Skills
Organisers Experiences and Outcomes What would you expect a child in P7, performing confidently in second level outcomes in measurement and fractions, decimal fractions and percentages, to know, understand and apply?
Measuremen
t
I can use my knowledge of the sizes of familiar objects or places to assist me when making an estimate of measure.
MNU 2‐11a
I can use the common units of measure, convert between related units of the metric system and carry out calculations when solving problems.
MNU 2‐11b
I can explain how different methods can be used to find the perimeter and area of a simple 2D shape or volume of a simple 3D object.

I have investigated the everyday contexts in which simple fractions, percentages or decimal fractions are used and can carry out the necessary calculations to solve related problems. MNU 2‐07a
I can show the equivalent forms of simple fractions, decimal fractions and percentages and can choose my preferred form when solving a problem, explaining my choice of method. MNU 2‐07b
I have investigated how a set of equivalent fractions can be created, understanding the meaning of simplest form, and can apply my knowledge to compare and order the most commonly used fractions. MTH 2‐07c
