Abstract

Numeracy  knowledge  is  very  important  to  learn  from  an  early  stage  because  of  numeracy  encompasses  identifying  numbers,  basic  computation,  measurement,  geometry,  probability  and  statistics.    Numeracy  understanding  level  model  is  introduced  to  determine  the  level  of  a  student  in  numeracy.  There  are  four  stages  that  have  to  be  passed  by  all  students  to  achieve  understanding  in  numeracy,  which  is  the  one,  de-coding,  level  two,  acquisition  of  knowledge,  level  three,  application  and  level  four,  analysis.  Numeracy  is  a  part  of  mathematics  and  is  closely  related  to  each  other.  In  particular,  numeracy  is  the  ability  to  perform  basic  mathematical  operations  and  understand  simple  mathematical  ideas  and  apply  knowledge  and  skills  in  mathematics  in  everyday  life..  Numeracy  understanding  determines  students’  excellence  at  a  higher  level.  This  is  because  the  basic  understandings  of  numeracy  in  the  classroom  makes  students  are  able  to  apply  their  knowledge  of  numeracy  in  everyday  life.
