The Numeracy Workbook is for adults who are developing their basic numeracy and language skills. It is also very suitable for adults who are fluent speakers of English. The resource uses everyday contexts such as employment, shopping, banking, health and the home as the basis for practical numeracy tasks. The areas covered are number, measurement, data and space. Skills such as reasoning, problem solving and estimating are built into the activities. The workbook supports the delivery of numeracy modules within the Certificates I and II in Spoken and Written English. It also enables teachers to report against the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) indicators at Levels 1 and 2.
