Introduction
One of the 8 principles that underpin the JC Framework for Business Studies is being numerate. Business studies should provide students with opportunities to be numerate. Being numerate involves seeing patterns, trends and relationships.

Whole-School InitiativesNumeracy:
We will incorporate any related school wide initiatives that support being numerate. eg Students will work out their own percentage when given back a graded piece of work. Students will use the SALT technique when drawing graphs.
