Mathematics

P levels (1-3) are the same in all subjects, because they are measuring a basic response to a stimulus. P levels 4–8 are more specific, measuring how the pupil acquires skills and knowledge in each subject area. These pages contain lists of the basic requirements for P levels 4-8 in mathematics and look at how they are affected by the main areas of disability. Follow the links to see how each disability affects the achievement of P levels and for some ideas to help your pupils.

Mathematics is divided into three areas:

  • Using and applying mathematics
  • Numbers
  • Shapes, space and measures
