Numeracy Skills

4. Summary and Review Quizzes

Working through this course has hopefully given you an idea of how numerical information can be used (and misused!).

You've now used averages, probability, fractions and ratios and analysed how they can be both useful and unhelpful.

You've also seen the different ways that graphics can be used to display numerical information, and hopefully noticed the limitations of each of these too.

Numerical skills in the real world are not just about doing sums. They're actually skills you're likely to need to use a lot in order to:

• critically analyse and evaluate the information other people or organisations are giving you - pretty charts are not always credible evidence for the claims made around them!

Now that you've taken a look through a good selection of the types of averages, graphs and charts you are likely to come into contact with, both in your A level or BTEC studies, and in every day life, it's time to review your knowledge and skills.
