"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".

To appeal to an early primary years' age group we set the video in the school canteen using a toy bunny (Johnny Rabbit) in place of a child, which allows children to relate better to the character while exploring the concepts of money and numeracy (The Australian Curriculum Assessment And Reporting Authority) . (ACMNA017, ACMNA034, ACMNA059). This video could be used as an initial exploration into money, with the ability of delving into more in-depth questions as the students become proficient with the concepts.

This is an interesting, while still emerging, web 2.0 tool that appears to be aimed at taking advantage of the notion of distributed cognition. There are obviously many pedagogical issues with this notion and tools that have not been subjected to the rigors of efficiency testing and time and motion studies (not to mention access and support in primary schools). Nonetheless, one worth watching I believe. Pete
