	Steen: Numeracy
		Numeracy is to mathematics as literacy is to language.
		Some argue that the role of numeracy on standard exams and course prerequisites should be reduced to match typical job requirements; others, including the President of the National Academy of Engineering [25], argue that mathematics should become a pump rather than a filter in the educational pipeline from school to jobs.
		Although numeracy may be taught in mathematics classes, to be learned effectively it must be used widely in other contexts, both in school, at home, in entertainment, and in sports.

	Numeracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Numeracy is a proficiency which is developed mainly in mathematics but also in other subjects.
		Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in which data are gathered by counting and measuring, and presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables.
		A high level of numeracy is required for some jobs, for example: mathematician, physicist, accountant, actuary, engineer, and architect.
