Numeracy (maths) is an essential skill in everyday life which appears in a lot of subjects when you may not expect it. Students should ensure they are prepared with the mathematical skills relevant to their area of study. The application of these skills to calculate solutions to problems is referred to as numeracy. To be considered numerate, students need to recognise situations that require maths skills and be able to confidently apply their knowledge.
