Literacy and Numeracy

What is Numeracy?

Numeracy is the ability to apply maths concepts in all areas of life.

Numeracy skills involve understanding numbers, counting, solving number problems, measuring, sorting, adding and subtracting numbers and so on.

We all need numeracy and maths skills to do everyday things like:

Solve Problems

For example, which brand and size of tinned beans is the cheapest?

Analyse and Interpret Information

For example, how many wins does my team need to get to the top of the competition?

l

Make Choices

For example, which personal loan is the best value?

Your child’s everyday experiences are full of learning opportunities that lay the foundations for numeracy.  (www.raisingchildren.net.au)
