numeracy

1. Numerical skill.

   (countable, uncountable)Competence with mathematics and with how to apply it to practical applications; sufficient ability to think critically in a quantitative way.

   John Allen Paulos and others have asked our society to consider numeracy and innumeracy in a way closer to how we view literacy and illiteracy.

2. (countable, uncountable)Ability to manipulate numbers at all, even for the simplest of arithmetic, such as adding two and two.

   The man lost all numeracy when he had a stroke, so he now depended on his wife for even the simplest financial matters, such as making change or paying a cashier.
