ABS Numeracy?
To be numerate is to confidently and effectively use mathematics to meet the everyday demands
of life.
Why is numeracy important? Numeracy enables you to develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies in your daily life. We need numeracy to solve problems and make sense of time, numbers, patterns and shapes for activities like cooking, reading a map or bill, reading instructions and even playing sport. At Archbishop Blanch that's why we strive to ensure that lessons right across the curriculum present and develop opportunities for exploring maths.

Liverpool counts.
Archbishop Blanch are proud to be taking part in the Liverpool Counts Quality Mark’ numeracy pilot programme.
The scheme aims to achieve the following:
- Raise standards in mathematics and numeracy with fun and joy of number at its heart
- To challenge perceptions and change attitudes towards number and mathematics
- To raise the profile of numeracy using activities, events and resources based on real-life
- To bring relevance to numeracy through problem solving demonstrating it is an essential skill.
Good numeracy skills are essential for our everyday lives. We at ABS are dedicated to celebrating maths and making sure we introduce examples where ever possible across our whole school curriculum. We have introduced weekly numeracy activities to challenge students in form time and we are presently recruiting numeracy ambassadors to create material for this web page, so please watch this space!
