“…Frequency of responses includes never, less than once a month, less than once a week but at least once a month, at least once a week but not every day, every day. BQ = background questionnaire. a According to PIAAC BQ, as cited in Curry (2017, p. 4), “By simple algebra or formula, we mean a mathematical rule that enables us to find an unknown number or quantity, for example a rule for finding an area when knowing length and width, or for working out how much more time is needed to travel a certain distance if speed is reduced.” …”

“…They may need to check in with adult learners with LD on their numeracy skill levels and behaviors. Curry (2017) recommends asking adults questions about their numeracy skill use, "to determine the types of numerate behaviors they already engage in" (p. 4). Adult educators could encourage adults with LD to discuss how they employ numeracy skills, perhaps during program orientations or at the start of math instruction, without singling them out as having LD.…”

“…Adult learners could interview each other about how they use math-even using PIAAC numeracy questions from Table 2-or how they addressed a situation where math was needed. Curry's (2017) guide provides instructional implications (pp. 7-10), instructional planning examples (pp.…”

Adults with learning disabilities (LD) face educational and employment challenges and may also have other disabilities and health conditions. Little is known about these adults’ numeracy skills and how they use numeracy at work or home. The article’s objective was to investigate numeracy skills and skill use for U.S. adults with LD. The author conducted descriptive and regression analyses of 2012/2014/2017 U.S. Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) data. Findings are presented on assessed numeracy skills and skill use, relationships of use and skills, and skill use among seven groups of adults with LD. Compared with the general population, adults with LD have lower mean numeracy scores. Skill use at home adds to the variance explained in numeracy skills, which suggests that using numeracy skills matters in gaining skills. Knowing the relationships of assessed numeracy skills with skill use helps educators implement strategies to support adult program completion. Implications of findings are discussed for adult educators and policymakers.

“…Evidence exists that in the United States, adult numeracy is low and pervasive. 5 In a survey conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, the authors found that U.S. adults ranked low in basic numeracy skills across the world’s leading labor countries. 6 How can nurses expect adherence to treatment regimens that rely on basic numeric reasoning such as doubling a medication dose or even more complex adjustments in medication?…”

Low levels of patient numeracy are pervasive, yet patients are expected to use basic math skills to maintain health, avoid ill health, and make important health decisions. This article summarizes what we know about best practices when communicating numeracy-based information to patients. We offer advice to home health nurses faced with challenges of caring for patients with low numeracy and who are responsible for their health and safety that require quantitative reasoning. Comprehending statistical data is difficult and counterintuitive for many people (and experts), and we offer examples of widely misunderstood formats of quantitative information but clarify them in ways that will benefit the practicing home health nurse. We conclude that patients need help understanding and using numbers while nurses need help explaining them.

The numeracy of 10th-grade students at SMAN 3 Slawi is still not optimal and needs improvement. This is because students are not accustomed to dealing with non-routine problems. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the STEM-based MURDER learning model assisted by Quizizz in improving students' numeracy. In this study, the proportion test of student completeness obtained a Sig. value of 0.004, indicating that the proportion of students class experimental exceeded the classical completeness, reaching 42%. In the test of average differences, a Sig. value of 0.004 was obtained, meaning that the numeracy ability of the experimental group was higher than control group. In terms of improvement, the N-Gain test resulted 0.28, which falls into the interval 〈g〉 < 0.3, indicating that the improvement in students' numeracy using the STEM-based MURDER learning model assisted by Quizizz is relatively low.
