Primary 7 - Second Level Numeracy

Online Numeracy Lessons for Primary 7 Students in Scotland.

Primary Seven numeracy and mathematics lessons start with Place Value - numbers up to and beyond 1,000,000. Pupils learn to use place value counters to display a seven-digit number. They learn to identify and state the value of each digit in numbers. They learn to read and write numbers up to and beyond 1,000,000 and to compare and order seven-digit numbers.

We teach rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000. Pupils learn what rounding is and how it is used in our lives. They learn to identify whether to round up or down by looking at the previous digit. They learn to round to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 and can estimate the position of a number on a number line.

We teach numbers to three decimal places. Pupils learn how many thousands are in a hundredth. They can use place value counters to display a number to three decimal points.
