1. FUNDAMENTAL NUMERACY
MEANING OF MATHEMATICS
• Mathematics is the science and study of quality, structure, space, and change. Through abstraction and logical
reasoning mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the
shapes and motions of physical object.
• Mathematics is useful for solving problem that occur in the real world
• Mathematics includes the study of :
1. Numbers: How things can be counted.
2. Structure: How things are organized. This subfield is usually called algebra
3. Place: Where things are and their arrangement. This subfield is usually called geometry
4. Change: How things become different. This subfield is usually called analysis.
• Mathematics is very useful in everyday life. Here are some tasks for which math is important :
1. Managing time: Keeping a track of time is very important to do all you love to do.
2. Budgeting: Managing money, understanding discounts, and buying for the best price.

2. AIMS AND
