Teaching children about money equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their money effectively now and in the future.

Children who do better with money tend to have parents/carers who talk to them about money and give them responsibility for spending and saving from an early age.

Take some time to think of your own money habits:

Teaching children about money will help make their future more secure. So the sooner you start developing their financial skills, the sooner they can start to hone those skills.

This glossary has been developed for parents and carers of children and young people in the broad general education in Scottish schools. This includes nursery through to 4th year in secondary schools. It provides clear definitions of some of the commonly used terms in numeracy and mathematics. The glossary may also be useful to any others who have an interest in the learning and teaching of numeracy and mathematics, including teachers and learners.

The glossary has been divided into the 15 'organisers' within the numeracy and mathematics curriculum. To find out more about each organiser, and how it relates to real life contexts, read the document below:
PDF file: The importance of numeracy and mathematics (175 KB) PDF file: The importance of numeracy and mathematics (Gaelic version) (196 KB)
The different organisers are:
PDF file: Estimation and rounding (174 KB) PDF file: Estimation and rounding (Gaelic version) (278 KB)
It has been organised in this way to make it easier to find the definition of the term you are looking for. For example, if looking for information on angles, you would select the organiser 'Angle, symmetry and transformation' by clicking on the link above. The document provides a list of all related terms, with a definition and in most cases, a supporting image. The terms are listed in alphabetical order to ensure easy access. Some terms appear in more than one organiser.

Words highlighted in blue are linked to further information available on other relevant websites.

Education Scotland understands that this glossary is not exhaustive and terms may be added.
