Numeracy… Estyn definition 2010
‘Numeracy is not the same as mathematics. Numeracy is a proficiency with number that is acquired through being taught mathematics well. Although pupils usually learn their numeracy skills during mathematics lessons, to be fully numerate they must be able to apply these skills in other subject areas and real-life contexts.’
Yr Ymweliad Rhifedd The Numeracy Visit
• This will be a regional activity, delivered locally across the six LAs and focusing on standards and provision in numeracy.
• The visits will consider how well pupils use their numeracy skills across the curriculum and how well prepared schools are for implementing the Numeracy Framework in September 2013.
Yr Ymweliad Rhifedd The Numeracy Visit
All schools will have a numeracy review in the Spring or Summer term 2013.
In 60% of schools this will consist of:– A dialogue with the Head teacher/SMT and lead
person for numeracy to discuss planning for improvement in numeracy and the impact on standards
– A scrutiny of learners’ work across the curriculum
– Interviews with learners
In 40% of schools this will consist of:- all of the above plus lesson observations from a range
of subjects
Arsylwi gwersi – Lesson observations
Lesson observations will focus on Years 2, 4, 6, 7 a 9 only.
We will look at pupils’ books and discuss with groups of pupils as a natural part of this process.
