This document discusses the importance of literacy and numeracy skills. It defines literacy as listening, reading, viewing, writing, speaking and creating print and digital materials. Numeracy skills include estimating and calculating whole numbers, patterns and relationships, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, rates, spatial reasoning, statistical information, and measurement. The document notes that 75% of the workforce is affected by low literacy and numeracy skills and that these skills are important for understanding workplace documentation, solving problems, and improving safety. It provides examples of how geography relates to literacy and numeracy skills through examples like map reading, measuring climate change, and maintaining vehicles or bikes.
