The ability to problem solve and apply mathematical knowledge and understanding within real world contexts supports students to develop 21st century numeracy skills. Applying mathematics knowledge and understanding in the Australian Curriculum Mathematics is developed through the introduction of contexts. Authentic contexts can also be located in other areas of the curriculum by connecting the mathematical content to be applied across the curriculum. Numeracy is the application of mathematical knowledge and skills in real world contexts. The general capability of numeracy provides a pathway for exploring Catholic Perspectives and Catholic Social Teachings.
When students are asked to solve problems and understand social contexts through a mathematics lens they deepen their understanding of the world, the views of others and connect more authentically with their community and society. Developing numeracy skills provides students with the processes and skills to understand and participate in their world, justify their viewpoints and critique information.
The Australian curriculum mathematical content descriptions can be taught through social contexts that connect learners to apply mathematics in order to understand their world and bring about social change. From a Catholic perspective, contexts can be developed by teachers at different year levels depending on the relevant learning development and knowledge of students.
From the Australian Curriculum Mathematics, an understanding and application of data and statistics can be enhanced through the introduction of contexts that support a Catholic perspective. For instance, data and statistics can be used to inform our judgement and justify how we might respond to the poor and marginalised and those in greatest need, both locally and globally. Using data and statistics to make judgements and reason thinking strengthens students’ knowledge of their call to action, to live in the image and likeness of God. Numeracy skills and understandings support the development of the whole learner to live with dignity with a vision for a just and fair world.
From a Catholic perspective, teachers are required to teach students the mathematical knowledge and skills that support their development as numerate learners and users who can bring a critical lens to real world contexts. Teachers have an obligation to support students to apply their numeracy knowledge and skills in social contexts both locally and globally to enhance student capacity to improve their social and economic well-being for human flourishing. Schools and teachers provide equitable access and opportunity for all students to learn mathematics relevant to their year level.

By the end of the Foundation year, students make connections between number names, numerals and quantities up to 10. They compare objects using mass, length and capacity. Students connect events and the days of the week. They explain the order and duration of events. They use appropriate language to describe location.
Students count to and from 20 and order small collections. They group objects based on common characteristics and sort shapes and objects. Students answer simple questions to collect information and make simple inferences.
Authentic contexts can also be located in other areas of the curriculum by connecting the mathematical content to be applied across the curriculum. Numeracy is the application of mathematical knowledge and skills in real world contexts. The general capability of numeracy provides a pathway for exploring Catholic Perspectives.
In selecting authentic and relevant social contexts students move most appropriately from personal to local to global contexts.
In P-2 students can apply their numeracy knowledge to understand their place in the world, their environment, shapes and images and patterns created by nature. Students notice and wonder at the sacramental moments of beauty and awe of the world and their environment. They apply their numeracy knowledge to describe their understandings and reflect on their experiences.
