Numeracy across the Curriculum

The paper is for staff in all sectors of education. It is relevant to early years establishments, schools, colleges and providers of out-of-school learning. It invites staff to consider how they might review and develop approaches to learning and teaching in numeracy across the curriculum, and why this is important. The new draft numeracy experiences and outcomes can act as a focal point for this joint activity. The approach should also be relevant to other themes which need to be planned for across the curriculum, including literacy.
