NUMERACY SKILLS
NUMERACY

 a way of connecting literacy & scientific principles known as the ‘’mirror image of literacy”
 defined as the ability to understand & work with the numbers (fundamental mathematic
skill) which include the abaility to understand & anylyze numerical information, express idea
based on the numerical information & make the right conclusion & decisions.

The importance of numeracy skills

1. helps us to function responsibly in every day life & contribute effectivelyly to society
2. train oue mind to yhink logically & critically
3. allows people to make comparison in daiyly life
4. help to understand statistical information such as data, charts, graph and inf grafik
5. helps us in making realible decisions in daily life

INUMERACY (BUTA HURUF)

 defined as lack of ability to understand & use numbers in daily life
 comoonly seen in those suffering from poverty, poor education experience & childhood
deprivation

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS IN
NUMERACY
REASONING
-a process of thinking information
in a logigal way in order to form a
solution or conclusion. it is
required to helps us to develop
mathematically & allow us to think
criticaly
-deductive reasoning is a basic
form of valid reasoning and
involves making a logical
argument, drawing conclusion

PROBLEM SOLVING DECISION MAKING
include 4 stages : a process of making
1-understand the problem choiche by indentifying the
(state using own words, identify problem,collecting
objective & find the information information, evaluating the
of the problem) alternative resolution
&select the best solution
2. devise a plan
-essential in strategic
-identify the patern based on management, heakth,
the information in stage 1
economy, public policy &
3. carry out the plan law
-apply strategies defined in
stage 2, check each step as we
proceed & record our work
4.look back
-check the result of the original
problem, interprate the solution
and determine if there is
another way solving the
problem

inductive reasoning- opposite site of deductive reasoning, involve of patterns &making generalization
example: 10 can be divided by 2. 10 is an even no, all even no can be divided by 2
NUMERACY CONTINUUM AND EVERYDAY LIFE PRACTICES

 Number and operations- tambah, tolak, darab, bahagi

 patterns
 are the foundation in mathematics
 Recognizing & understanding ssequences of numbers help us to generate algebrae & predict
the futere & discover new things

 Fraction, decimal no, and percentages

 Interpreting statistical information
 Data and statistics are presented in the news and media on various topics, such as in health,
education, economics, politics, environmental issues and many more.
 Interpreting the statistics information including charts and infographic allows us to make
conclusions and decisions.

 Measurement= metere, centimetres

 Multiple factors, factors and primes
 easily navigate no relationships in real world without relying on Calculator.
 Prime numbers is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself
