At Lesmahagow High School the Mathematics department follows the benchmarks outlined by Education Scotland.
Pupils should be familiar with the base 10 number system. Please visit www.amathsdictionaryforkids.com/qr/d/decimalSystem.html for additional information.
Pupils will then learn about different number base systems. It is important that pupils understand that the decimal number system is not the only system in the world. With technologies changing the way we live from the Internet, mobile phones, genetic engineering to space flight, electronic money transfer and personal computers, we believe pupils should understand the computer architecture and know how it works to engage in a constantly changing world. We will teach pupils how to change and work in different number base systems in the same way they have learned the decimal, base 10 system.
Feedback in 2019 from pupils said that “they liked learning something new”
