What are Numeracy Passports?
St John Fisher Catholic
Primary School
Why have Numeracy Passports?
1. Basic mathematics skills.
2. Problem solving
3. Mental Maths
Do we really want our children to have to get a calculator
or use pencil and paper for simple calculations?
How would you solve this question without a pencil and
paper or calculator?
What is the cost of 4 plane tickets at £160 each?
Method 1 Use times tables
4 x 100 = 400
4 x 6 = 24 so 4 x 60 is 240
400 + 240 = £640.
Method 2
Use doubling
Double 16 is 32, double 32 is 64.
So double 160 is 320, double 320 is £640.
It doesn’t matter which way you work it out, as long as
you know what to do and can work it out quickly.
Lets have a go!
Copy down the numbers on the screen onto your
grid.
We are going to do the 5 times table. You have 30
seconds.
Where it says eg 3, you write the answer to 3 x 5.
Don’t write the calculation.
If you finish all 10 within 30 seconds, write down
how many seconds you have left on the clock at the
bottom of the page.
Passports are based on the continents of the world.
There are currently 7 – we may add another for those that
finish all 7.

Where will my child begin?
How quickly can my child progress
through each continent?
Tips
1) Learn what each skill needs - Times tables can be learned by
rote or sung to start with.
2) Build up speed. The aim is to get faster.
3) When you think your child is ready to be tested on a part of the
passport then initial that section and send the passport into
school for the class teacher to see and test.
When tested in school:
Answers need to be instant. They all need to be correct.
Practise little and often.
