Developing a child’s understanding of 12 hour time in depth takes place through first level. Young learners will
become familiar with 24 hour notation in their surroundings through TV listings, computers, cookers, DVD players
and videos. They will naturally make links with 24 hour notation and the routines in their day. The next stage of
development, the formal manipulation of 24 hour time, is included in MNU 2-10a – understanding and using
timetables.
MNU 4-03a
The ability to apply and transfer familiar concepts to solve problems is fundamental for mathematical
developments. As one example, young people will be familiar with the fact that 2.5 is a quarter of 10 and will know
how to find 10% of a quantity. When asked to consider a less familiar calculation e.g. 2.5% of £840 the combination
of these previously-acquired skills could lead them to suggest 1/4 of £84 to be a possible solution.
MNU 4-07a develops the skills that allow learners to use their knowledge of interrelationships between fractions,
decimal fractions and percentages to choose an elegant route to the solution. As an example, when asked to
evaluate a discount of 12.5% on an item costing £800, an elegant solution would involve the understanding that
12.5% is 1/8, and that calculating 1/8 of £800 will provide the answer to the size of the discount.
MTH 3-11b
As this is a third level outcome, it is envisaged that the majority of shapes and objects will be formed from
rectangles and triangles. However, for young people with well-developed understanding, problems involving circular
properties could be introduced and investigated.
MNU 4-10a
Using time efficiently is necessary in the work place, in lifelong learning, leisure time and all other aspects of daily
life. The ability to estimate how long different tasks take and then build a programme of sequential tasks is a critical
numeracy skill which is fundamental to effective time management.
MNU 4-20a
This experience and outcome relates to a learner's developing skills in interpreting a data set or the information
contained in, for example, box plots, stem and leaf diagrams, line graphs, bar graphs, histograms and pie charts.
Having considered this information it is important for learners to understand key features of these different ways of
presenting information in order to be able to select appropriate forms and communicate findings to others.
MNU 4-22a
MNU 4-22a is intended to develop the link between simple probability and expected frequency. Having gained an
understanding of these two concepts, the ability to assess the impact of a particular course of action based on risks
and benefits is a very important skill for life.
