During this time I was teaching a moral education lesson to my students. Literacy and numeracy were part of the lesson that I was doing at that time because, by the end of the lesson, students could define the meaning of literacy and numeracy, list down examples of literacy and numeracy, and explain why literacy and numeracy are important to understand for their choices in real life situations.
I let the students work in pairs to define the meaning of literacy and numeracy, and then I gave them their task to think of literacy and numeracy are important when they go to the shops to buy things. The students came up with lots of ideas and they mentioned those in their given activities. for example, the first group mentioned that numeracy is important to understand because when they go to the store they calculate the money and cost of the things that they want to buy. The other groups mentioned that literacy is important to them when going to the store because they have to read the information and expiry dates of the things that they want to buy from the shop. Those students realized the importance of learning about literacy and numeracy is important to help them when dealing with different situations in their daily lives.
I learned that teaching numeracy and literacy is important because numbers and readings come in everything that we do every day. The students learn the significance of numeracy when they do their own budgets, expenses, and calculations when dealing with money. Also, students learned that literacy is important because reading information, and writing come everyday when they want to know different things that they deal with.
