INTRODUCTION
Mathematical Literacy provides learners with an awareness and understanding of the role that mathematics plays
in the modern world. Mathematical Literacy is a subject driven by life-related applications of mathematics. It
enables learners to develop the ability and confidence to think numerically and spatially in order to interpret and
critically analyze everyday situations and to solve problems.”

Mathematical literacy involves the use of elementary mathematical content. The focus is not on abstract
mathematical concepts. As a matter of fact if the required calculations cannot be performed using a basic four-
function calculator, then the calculation is not appropriate for Mathematical literacy. Furthermore in the
Mathematical Literacy classroom mathematical content should not be taught in the absence of context.
(Mathematical Literacy, CAPS)

TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING MATHEMATICAL LITERACY GRADE 12 LEARNER

Mathematical literacy provides learners with a TOOL TO BE USED to UNDERSTAND

the world we live in

Remember that Mathematical Literacy is a subject that will help you to ‘Identify and
Understand the role that Mathematics play in the World, to make Well – Founded
Judgements and to use and Engage with Mathematics in ways that meet the needs of your
life as a Constructive, Concerned and Reflective Citizen’(OECD,1999).

2.1
The Department of Hospitality studies at Malope High School bakes brown bread in order to raise
funds for the shortfall incurred in their day-to-day expenses.

The school charges the Department a fixed weekly cost of R800 for water and electricity.

The cost of producing one loaf of brown bread, including labour and ingredients, is R9,60. The brown
bread is sold at R12,80 a loaf.
