numeracy

GBK English to Romanian Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Definition from Wikipedia:
Numeracy is the ability to reason with numbers and other mathematical concepts. To be numerically literate, a person has to be comfortable with logic and reasoning. Some of the areas that are involved in numeracy include: basic numbers, orders of magnitude, geometry, algebra, probability and statistics.
Example sentences:
Numeracy is used in science class when students interpret a graph, in woodwork when they confidently measure a piece of wood, or in cooking when a student halves a recipe without being given specific instructions on what to do. (The State of Queensland)
What appears in most definitions of numeracy from the 1980s and 1990s is the use of mathematics in real-life situations and the idea that it can be used in a goal-oriented way, depending on the needs and interests of the individual in a given context (home, community, workplace). (NCSALL)
Punctuality, literacy, numeracy and enthusiasm are the four key requirements of any young person seeking their first job. (Guardian News and Media Limited)

aptitudinea de calcul

Definition from ETTAD:
Aptitudinea de calcul este priceperea ce se dezvolta in special in matematica, dar totodata si in alte subecte. Este mai mult decat o abilitate de a face calcule aritmetice. Ea implica dezvoltarea increderii si competentei cu numere si masuri. Necesita intelegerea sistemului numeric, repertoriului tehnicilor matematice si o inclinatie si abilitate spre rezolvarea problemelor cantitative sau spatiale in diferite contexte. Abilitatea de calcul necesita totodata si intelegerea diferitelor moduri in care datele sunt acumulate prin adunare si masurare, apoi prezentate prin grafice, diagrame, harti si tabele.
Example sentences:
Aptitudinea de calcul joaca un rol important in viata adulta. (ETTAD)
Aptitudinea de calcul implica o multitudine de abilitati specifice, oricare din ele pot dovedi dificile pentru elevii cu probleme particulare, dar arata si modul cum se poate afecta abilitatea lor de achizitie a acestora. (QUATRAIN2)
