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.
