Critical numeracy is the ability to interpret, evaluate, and use numerical information in a thoughtful and skeptical manner. Unlike basic [[numeracy]], which focuses on arithmetic and [[mathematical]] operations, critical numeracy emphasizes understanding the context, assumptions, and implications behind numbers. It involves questioning how data is collected, presented, and used—whether in media, advertising, policy, or research. By developing critical numeracy, individuals can identify misleading statistics, recognize biases, and make more informed decisions in both personal and professional contexts.
