3FOLIO Introduction The focus of the study is to describe the importance of math throughout life and the process of learning from early childhood to later part of life. The resources are use to identify the process of learning and teaching where the environment is considered an important part. The real world application of math is also highlight in the folio. Mathematics is a discipline included in science that deals with quantity, arrangement and the logic of shapes. It is applicable to everything that is around us in everyday life, from calculation to the geographic shapes around us that can be study by mathematics. Mathematics makes it easier for a person to understand and evaluate the concepts such as velocity, speed, light, heat, valences and much more (Siemon et al., 2015). On the other hand, numeracy refers to the ability to use mathematical skills in our everyday life. By referring one person as numerate means that they have confidence and skills for using the numbers and mathematical approach in their everyday life that has nothing to do with their professional expertise. It means that the person is able to reason with mathematical concepts, use these concepts in a range of contexts, and solve a variety of problems. Numeracy seems to reflect the way in which children approach their mathematics, valuing the confidence in and understanding of mathematics (Ares & Evans, 2014). These two can be distinguish from one another on various grounds. Numeracy and mathematics are overlapping, but are to separate concept. Mathematics is a much broader concept than numeracy. Numeracy uses mathematics in some of the contexts to deal with situations. Hence, it can be point out that mathematics is a scientific discipline whereas numeracy is merely the application of the knowledge of mathematics in the field. An example
