Aim Of The Power Point
• This power point has been produced as the
first step towards teaching numeracy across
the curriculum in a consistent manner.
• The power point has been designed for
teachers to use as a reference in advance of
teaching numeracy skills in their own subject or
for parents as an aid to helping their offspring.
• For any clarification on any of the topics please
consult a member of the maths department.
Our Mission Statement:
• Glen Urquhart High School is committed
to raising the standards of numeracy of
all of its students, so that they develop
the ability to use numeracy skills
effectively in all areas of the curriculum
and the skills necessary to cope
confidently with the demands of
further education, employment and
adult life.

• A current definition of numeracy:
• Numeracy is a proficiency which is developed mainly
in mathematics but also in othesubjects. It is more
than an ability to do basic arithmetic. It involves
developing confidence and competence with numbers
and measures. It requires understanding of the
number system, a repertoire of mathematical
techniques, and an inclination and ability to solve
quantitative or spatial problems in a range of
contexts.
• Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in
which data are gathered by counting and measuring,
and presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables.

Multiplying and Dividing
Decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000
The Basics:
• When you multiply by 10, 100, or 1,000, you
can move the decimal point to the right.
• The number of decimal places you move is
the same as the number of zeroes you are
multiplying by.
• When you divide by 10, 100, or 1,000, you
can move the decimal point to the left.
Move the decimal point once for each zero
you are dividing by.
1.492 x 100
Move the decimal to the right:
two spaces.
149.2
2,124.94 ÷ 1,000
Move the decimal to the left: three
spaces.
2.12494
4.2 ÷ 100
Move the decimal point to the left: two
spaces. Add a zero for the second space.

15.36 x 1,000
Move the decimal point to the

for the third space.

Significant Numbers
In mathematics a figure or digit is significant
if it gives an idea of both:
(i) Quantity
(ii) Accuracy
IMPORTANT : If zero’s are employed just to position the decimal point
then they are considered NOT significant.
e.g.
506 cm
Has 3 significant figures.
50.6 cm Has 3 significant figures.
0.506 cm Has 3 significant figures.
0.00506 cm Has 3 significant figures.

Multiplying Fractions
How much is one-half of one-half?
we show one-half of a circle.
To find one- half of
one- half, we divide
the half in half.
We see this equals
one quarter.

looks like this:

Multiplying by a Whole
Number
If you want to multiply a fraction by a
whole number, turn your whole number into
a fraction by putting it over 1. If your
answer is improper (top heavy), divide the
bottom into the top.

Simplifying Factors
• Before you multiply, you can make the
problem simpler.
• You can find the largest table both
numbers have in common
• divide the top number and bottom
number by this number, and rewrite the
problem.

16 2

14
In the second fraction, 8
and 16 have table 8 in
common
8 ÷ 8 = 1 and 16 ÷ 8 = 2
Now, multiply with the
simpler numbers.
Top 5 x 1 = 5
and bottom 7 x 2 = 14.
Example 2

The top of the first fraction
and the bottom of the
