Early Years Numeracy Foundations
Pre-School to Grade 3
In early childhood, play and hands-on learning are critical to numeracy learning. Rich tasks, authentic problem-solving, and explicit skills and strategy instruction are integrated to foster learner confidence, ability, and enjoyment. See the Early Years Numeracy Foundations document here.
Intermediate/Middle Years – Numeracy Development
Grades 4-9
In the intermediate/middle years, learners continue to build confidence as mathematicians, learning through approaches that advantage their curiosity about the world and increasing need for independence and social belonging with peer groups. Rich tasks, authentic problem-solving, and explicit skills and strategy instruction are integrated. Hands-on learning continues to be critical to concept and skill development, as well as movement from concrete to abstract understandings and representations.

BC Numeracy Quick Scale – Grade 7
Graduation Years Numeracy Development
Grades 10-12
In the graduation years, students continue to build confidence for lifelong numeracy through approaches that advantage their strengths and interests, as well as goals for post graduation. Rich and authentic numeracy experiences and problem-solving deepen and refine mathematical thinking and application for various purposes and diverse contexts. Meaningful integration of numeracy learning across the curriculum furthers student competence and transference into adulthood. here.
