Numeracy and Literacy
At TCS Numeracy and Literacy are taught discretely within the whole school curriculum.
Using mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts is an important life skill to develop as well as developing good literacy skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Numeracy: In Geography for example you need to be able to interpret graphs and charts, in Music you need to be able to work out rhythms within a bar and in PE you need to be able to calculate your average heart rate after exercise or your 100m sprint time. These are basic examples but it is vital to develop good numeracy within the curriculum. We have also introduced two whole-school projects designed to increase numeracy even further at TCS.
