The National Numeracy Review Report (May 2008), Chapter 3, points out the need to include particular groups of students such as indigenous, immigrants, and those with various learning behaviours and styles in embedding numeracy into the curriculum. Computer technology integrated across the curriculum can place practical learning such as with numeracy within a virtual environment that is easily accessible to students. Western mathematics derives from a western ‘world view’ which is largely about economics (Perso, 2003). This learning area is inline with the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australian page 8., under The Educational Goals > Successful learners… "have the essential skills in literacy and numeracy and are creative and productive users of technology, especially ICT, as a foundation for success in all learning areas for Young Australians".
