As adults, we use maths every single day, whether we realise it or not.
In order to change the radio station or search through your current CD playing, you need to know the concept of more or less . In order to stop safely behind the car infront of you, you need to know how fast you are going, how far you have left to stop, and the amount of pressure to use on your brake peddle.
Mathematical literacy is very important for the learners that have no intentions of studying anything to do with pure maths in future. Mathematical literacy is the ability to ready, write, use, and speak language, 'the language of mathematics'. 
Before our students enter classroom, they may view the subject of mathematics as a useful tool to understand the world around them.  However, when our students enter our mathematics classrooms, the focus is on memorising facts, formulas and rule. Our job is divert that focus so that school math and real word math do not become disconnected. Students needs to understand that mathematics is a sense making experience.
Our ultimate goal as educators is to teach our students to become independent thinkers and positive contributors in thier communities.

For example teaching your learners about interest, that knowledge will help them when they go to the banks to apply for loans so that they can be able to nagotiate the interest rate with the bank. That  will help them as they will vefully equipped on how their interest rate is being calculated and added to the actual amount when they have to repay the money. ]]> 2020-06-23 15:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/zeefiphaza/d9uh9yn45wnwi2p5/wish/637644188 217048951msoncelwa https://padlet.com/zeefiphaza/d9uh9yn45wnwi2p5/wish/637810609 It's true what is said Mathematical Literacy helps learners know how to deal with Life problems by teaching learners how to solve problems like weight problems where one learn how to get his/her BMI which shows if one is Obese/Normal.

It enables learners to develop the ability and confidence to think numerically and spatially in order to interpret and critically analyse everyday situations and to solve problems.
