"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".
