"Numeracy is the capacity, confidence and disposition to use mathematics to meet the demands of learning, school, home, work, community and civic life. This perspective on numeracy emphasises the key role of applications and utility in learning the discipline of mathematics, and illustrates the way that mathematics contributes to the study of other disciplines" (ACARA, formerly the National Curriculum Board, 2009, p.5). This review asserts an understanding of numeracy as mathematics applied to real world situations as illustrated in "Banking on Numeracy: Episode 2".

This numeracy video was created for educational purposes and designed for students teachers and parents to use as a resource when teaching fractions in a junior primary setting. Our video aims to communicate the importance of numeracy as a life skill as it shows how numeracy can be used beyond the classroom. For example, real life situations such as baking a chocolate cake :)

This video could be used as part of numeracy learning experiences, either as a base to a numeracy lesson, lesson introduction, or lesson idea. It could also encorporate cross curricula links to subjects such as ICT and Home Economics!

Elaborations for Numeracy

The Meaning of Numeracy The complex world of the twenty-first century places demands on its citizens that require them to engage competently with an ever-increasing range of activities that have their basis in the world of mathematics. As a result, there is a rapidly growing emphasis on the importance of creating numerate school leavers. The connection between numeracy and mathematics and the tendency to use the words interchangeably can lead to confusion as they are not synonyms of each other. However, to be numerate requires mathematical skills. The term 'mathematical literacy' is becoming more widely used both in Australia and overseas and is defined by the OECD (2004) as:

We chose to use measurement for our numeracy video. We felt that measurement is an important numeracy skill used in everyday life. We believe we did this well. We met all criteria. For the first time we used the flip cameras, movie-maker and youtube to: create, edit and upload our video. We thoroughly enjoyed this process and felt it was an interesting assignment. :)
