1. Supporting numeracy

2.  Developing competency in numeracy requires the student to acquire, understand and apply basic mathematical facts and computations.  Without this knowledge, students will not be able to progress through the mathematics curriculum. C) 2012 Pearson Australia ISBN:9781442541757

3. Supporting numeracy  Students who have not acquired sound foundation mathematical knowledge and skills are likely to struggle with all aspects of numeracy..

4. Supporting numeracy Numeracy includes:  number  space  algebra, function and pattern  measurement, chance and data  working mathematically

5. Supporting numeracy The language of mathematics The development of mathematical skills and knowledge requires children to acquire a vocabulary of mathematical words and phrases.

6. Supporting numeracy Core numeracy skills and knowledge  One-to-one correspondence Each object in Set A can be paired with an object in Set B. Each object in Set B can be paired with an object in Set A.
