Descriptive Piece

People don’t always understand the subject Maths Literacy and often wonder why it is a subject, how can you use it one day and how can it help you to do Maths if it is so easy. In school there are some learners who struggle to do Maths and that is why they get the option to choose Maths Literacy.

It is not that the subject Maths Literacy is really that easy but it’s more practical and that’s why it may seem easier than Maths. In some cases you also get learners that are excellent with Maths but they can’t do Maths Literacy because they struggle to think of a practical way to get a solution for a question.

Every subject that you get in Maths Literacy you can use in the real life. If you and your family go on a trip one day you will have to know how to work out a budget for your holiday. If you and your family are driving somewhere you will need to know how to read a map and how to work out the scale the map provides for you. You will alsol need to know how to work out the quantity of petrol you will need to ride the distance you want to and how long it will take you if you drive a certain speed. I’ve already mentioned four things you will need to work out when you and your family plans to go on a holiday and all four things you learn in Maths Literacy.

There is more things you can use Maths Literacy for, like example when you want to build something, if you want to work out rates or taxes and even if you want to know what the price per unit is of any item.
