Overall Numeracy

The chart shows your NUMERACY level. When we talk about "numeracy" we mean how you handle numbers, measures, shapes, space and data.

	E1	E2	E3	L1	L2
NUMERACY

Can you see that several small blocks fit together to make a longer bar? You have three blocks filled in, so your score is E3 (Entry 3). You are at the highest entry level.

Entry 3 means that you can use large numbers. You can use decimal amounts of money. And you can use bar charts. But you might like some help with negative numbers, the 24-hour clock and line graphs.

We think that there are many things you can do already, for example:

• compare prices
• use a map
• estimate the cost before buying
