NALA’S Definition of Numeracy Numeracy is a life skill that involves the competent use of mathematical language, knowledge and skills. Numerate adults have the confidence to manage the mathematical demands of real-life situations such as everyday living, work related settings and in further education, so that effective choices are made in our evolving technological and knowledge based society. 6

Good Numeracy Practice Guidelines Make it fun!! Use real life examples where possible. e.g. Pizza for fractions, money for decimals, menus for adding. Boost confidence by providing opportunities for success Connect lessons to everyday life. Discuss different ways of tackling the same problem. 11

Good Numeracy Practice Guidelines Look at patterns. Use estimation and show students how to check their work. Introduce mathematical language. Strive to teach for understanding How we get there is as important 12
