DEFINING NUMERACY

MINISTERIAL ORDER (#001/2013) 2.3 All students will employ literacy and numeracy to construct and communicate meaning. ® DIGIPICT

THE EVOLUTION OF NUMERACY Formative Phase ( ) A numerate person is able to use arithmetic skills that are normally acquired in childhood. Crown-owned

THE EVOLUTION OF NUMERACY Mathematical Phase (1982-late 1990s) A numerate person uses math in everyday life and understands and appreciates information presented in mathematical terms. © Photodisc/Getty Images

WHAT IS DRIVING A NEW DEFINITION? technology information overload global competition © Photodisc/Getty Images

THE EVOLUTION OF NUMERACY Integrative Phase (1990-today) A numerate possesses the power and habit of mind to search out quantitative information, critique it, reflect upon it, and apply it in their public, personal and professional lives. National Numeracy Network, © Photodisc/Getty Images

ALBERTA EDUCATION DRAFT DEFINITION OF NUMERACY Numeracy is the confidence and habits of mind to engage with, critically assess, reflect upon and apply quantitative and spatial information when making judgments and decisions or taking action in all aspects of daily living. 7

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND NUMERACY Mathematics is its own discipline. numbers and mathematical concepts are objects of study some math skills/understandings are required to be numerate.

Numeracy is cross-curricular because it must have a context in or outside of a school setting. numbers are used to describe or label dependent on multiple factors requires more than one literacy influenced by society or culture. © Photodisc/Getty Images

True Numeracy tasks generally require quantitative or spatial information in everyday situations or contexts that have a tendency to be complex or less defined. Mathematics often requires procedural knowledge and understanding applied to more defined problems that are life-like. © Artville/Getty Images © Photodisc/Getty Images

LOOKING AT A PROBLEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MATHEMATICS Greg and his family are helping their friends move from Edmonton to Calgary, a distance of 300 km. They are using his father’s truck to transport the furniture. If they travel at a speed of 100 km per hour, how long will it take to return to Edmonton? Answer: __________________________

LOOKING AT A PROBLEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NUMERACY Greg and his family are helping their friends move from Edmonton to Calgary, a distance of 300 km. They are using his father’s truck to transport the furniture. If they travel at a speed of 100 km per hour, how long will it take to return to Edmonton? How long will it take to unload the furniture? Will they stop to eat? Will they need to stop for gas? What answers would be reasonable?

In Numeracy understanding develops horizontally. In Mathematics understanding develops vertically. © Photodisc/Getty Images © celena beech/Photos.com

Numeracy is employed in every aspect of being an engaged thinker and ethical citizen with an entrepreneurial spirit. Higher level Mathematics is required in post-secondary education as well as in a variety of professions, occupations and research. © Photodisc/Getty Images

CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF A NUMERACY PROBLEM Lacks specificity Prompts critical thinking Connected to real life  Would you ever do this in real life? Presents context that is outside of mathematics © Photodisc/Getty Images
