In addition to a knowledge of mathematical techniques, numeracy is considered to include: problem solving, especially in the design of solutions to non-routine tasks; communication of mathematical results in formats which are suitable for the intended audience and facilitate decision making; an ability to use computer technology to collect and process data; and a familiarity with number which allows appropriate levels of accuracy to be chosen, estimates made and errors detected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44261168611489,"sku":"9781326806552","price":56.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1v4dgkvy-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747975230","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/developing-numeracy-in-further-education","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
