Abstract

Numeracy culture is a part of mathematics and intertwined with each other. In particular, numeracy is the ability to perform basic mathematical operations and understand simple mathematical ideas and apply knowledge and skills of mathematics in everyday life. Numeracy knowledge is very important to learn from an early stage as numeracy encompasses recognize numbers, basic computation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics. This article will discuss the culture of numeracy in primary schools. Mental visualisation are used to seeing cultural numeracy among primary school pupil. Through a culture of student mental picture can be seen by their existing knowledge of a particular topic. Culture numeracy in primary schools ensuring excellence at a higher level again. This is because the culture of numeracy in the classroom, students can apply knowledge of numeracy in everyday life. Culture numeracy from an early stage can help students give correct answers by linking basic questions numeracy. Culture numeracy in primary schools is very important for students to understand because every topic related to each other. The word 'culture' is something that is complex and can take a variety of meanings, especially in numeracy. Culture depends on the context numeracy and what is expected of students. Therefore to know what students actually understand about the culture, a lot depends on how teachers identify, collect, and interpret the evidence. When a topic or concept that has been studied, it does not necessarily change when a new or different information found. Being able to obtain new information or knowledge does not entitle a student a full understanding. A student who gains full understanding will be able to express it verbally or simply displaying his skill.
