C1 (30%): DEFINITIONS AND COMPARISON OF MATHEMATICS AND NUMERACY It’s pleasing that you have provided some discussion around the terms mathematics and numeracy. It’s great that you have tried to support your ideas with evidence and there is an attempted comparison. Unfortunately, the ideas in this section are quite unclear in places. It would have been good to see the use of the unit Learning Materials to support your definitions, in particular, stronger links to the week 1 and 2 readings.

C2 (30%): NUMERACY IN THE REAL WORLD Well done for providing some discussion around numeracy skills in the real world. It’s really pleasing that you have provided some examples to demonstrate your understanding here. To strengthen this section, a more detailed analysis of the examples, with more explicit links to the underpinning maths was needed

C3 (30%) MATHS AND EVERYDAY PHENOMENA There is a discussion around the maths involved in Fibonacci and symmetry. However, to meet the pass mark for this criteria, this discussion needed to be linked directly to mathematical phenomena to demonstrate your engagement with the week 3 Learning Materials, for example, symmetry in butterfly wings.

C4 (10%): WRITING AND APA REFERENCING Overall, I can see that you have tried Unfortunately, you haven’t written a structured essay and the writing is quite unclear in places.

1.

Define and describe mathematics. Support your discussion with one every day (math’s) phenomenon (e.g. in nature or built environments) that can be explained using mathematics. For example; the number of petals on a lily blossom is always a Fibonacci number, the way in which fern leaves form a geometric fractal or the symmetry of a butterfly. Other examples may include; the fractions of notes per measure to fit the tempo in music or the construction of the Egyptian pyramids using Pythagorean Theorem.

Solution:

Mathematics is the study of necessary and synthetic truth with the deduced rational reasoning of abstract ideas. Mathematics deals with the abstraction, Mathematics is a language of all sciences. According to Einstein pure mathematics is the poetry of logical ideas what you need to know the rational modal. Maths is the most precise and accurate language ever, it is the most systematic and logical process of knowledge ever. Mathematical entities are abstract entities, in mathematics, we start with abstract entities on real and complex numbers, then we look at the world we see where they exist concretely (Gowers, (2017)).

Mathematics is playing a vital role to change the life of every person. People used it in every field of life to solve their complicated problems. The use of mathematics transforms human civilization into branches of mathematics. As per different studies we have found that it is impossible for man to live in the world without using mathematics or we can say that it is difficult of a person to live in the 21st century without slightest utilizing mathematics (Gowers, (2017)).

The current education system is not giving opportunities to a person to think and make their own decision. People are using social media and online tutoring service to find a solution to their problems. In many universities and colleges, the professors are using or conducting different activities to increase the performance of the student in personal life and they give them a different task in mathematics to think and answer. So the learning process is much important to encourage or to develop the ability of the student to think (Hoda?ová. J, March 2016).

Now in a current era, the main problem of students is that they are not focusing on mathematics. The lack of student’s interest in this field creates many problems like easy to give up, not doing their homework, lazy in class, cheating in tests and many more problems. So far in many research articles and journals the teacher and other mathematician are trying to overcome this problem by using different approaches, tools of learning and methods to teach students more deeply (Hoda?ová. J, March 2016). When we are trying to find the use of mathematics in particle life or fields we found that it covers technology, building industry, nature, cartography, banking and finance, machinery, and architecture.

Example of Mathematics:

As I mentioned above that there is a number of examples when we are shuffling mathematics. The example in real life as well as an example in theoretical or numerical forms. Few examples of mathematics are given below,

In every researcher, the author or the researcher is trying to use the old data of research and then build its own view by collecting a different type of data and then comparing variables with each other. All analysis like regression, correction and other statistical analysis is the example of the Fibonacci number in mathematics. The second example of mathematics is in information technology where we are using a different number of binary data to develop the application. In every computer software, different mathematics terms are used to make the program strong. Such type of research in mathematics is well known as symmetry (Kusmaryono.I, September 2014).

So after deep study of mathematics and its field we have found that the use of mathematics in every field is much important and it plays a key role to increase its value in the 21st century. We have also found that it builds a completion and provide a huge knowledge to students which helped students to think and solve their own problems (Kusmaryono.I, September 2014).

2. Define and describe numeracy, including at least one example of where you have used numeracy skills in your everyday life.

Solution:

Numeracy is providing a deep knowledge to students which increase their knowledge outside the classroom. It enhances the ability of the student and provides them the confidence to use his own ability to solve the problem. The as different researcher explains that the word numeracy is much important as the word literacy. It is also known as the mathematics numeracy. Some researcher and analysts did not find any difference between mathematics and numeracy. To be numerate is to utilize numerical thoughts adequately to take an interest in day by day life and comprehend the world (Baker.D, January 1998).

Numeracy is characterized as the capacity to reason and to apply basic numerical ideas. Essential numeracy abilities comprise of understanding central science like expansion, subtraction, increase, and division. For instance, on the off chance that one can comprehend straightforward scientific conditions, for example, 2 + 2 = 4, at that point one would be considered having, at any rate, fundamental numeric information. Considerable parts of numeracy likewise incorporate number sense, task sense, calculation, estimation, geometry, likelihood, and insights (Baker.D, January 1998).

A numerically proficient individual can oversee and react to the scientific requests of life. On the other hand, the absence of numeracy or innumeracy can have a negative effect if the abilities are missing. Numeracy has an effect on vocation callings, proficiency, and hazard discernment towards wellbeing choices. It joins the utilization of numerical, spatial, graphical, factual and logarithmic ideas and aptitudes in an assortment of settings and includes the basic assessment, translation, application and correspondence of scientific data in the scope of pragmatic circumstances (Baker.D, January 1998).

Example:

There are many examples of numeracy in real life. Some of them are given below,

Numeracy at work:

Numeracy plays a vital role in the workplace by finding the exact data, using a spreadsheet to manage the data and measuring the strength of analysis.

Numeracy at Consumers:

The consumer only wants to take those goods and service which is valuable and less costly for them. So numeracy helped the customer to find the discount on the product, to find the accurate product and service and to find what exact amount they have spent in shopping.

Numeracy at managing our finance:

A manager and bother administrative in bookkeeping setting their budget and understanding the interest rate. The Numeracy help manager to find the rate of interest when they are trying to borrow money. It also helps the employee to find how much money he/she gets at the time of retirement or in the form of a pension (Boale.J, 2016).

Numeracy includes understudies perceiving and understanding the job of science in numerous specific circumstances. It includes picking the arithmetic to utilize, applying numerical abilities and assessing their utilization to take care of issues in our general surroundings. Exceptionally numerate understudies translate, apply and assess numerical systems, and convey scientific thinking in certifiable circumstances. So as mentioned above the numeracy is quite different from mathematics.
