Module Aims
• The aim of this learning session is to enhance
mathematical literacy in mental and written
communication to solve various problems in
everyday life. Scientific literacy is also
introduced to explain the natural world, in
comparison to technology which is used to
alter/change the natural environment based on
human needs/ wants.
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. M
