This section contains both mathematics and numeracy resources. The mathematics materials are organized into three levels with some overlaps. They focus on topics, skills and strategies commonly taught in K-12. The resources will help adult learners participate in secondary and post-secondary education. The numeracy resources address the use of numerical skills, strategies and concepts in learners' everyday lives, including financial topics such as banking, credit, taxes and benefits.
These resources can be used with learners who have beginning math abilities. The focus is on whole numbers, number patterns, measurement (time, distance, area, weight, volume), multiplication and division.
These resources help adult learners develop mathematics abilities roughly equivalent to Grades 4 to 8. The focus is on fractions, decimals, percentages and geometry.
These resources cover mathematics skills, strategies and understandings aligned with a secondary level, including post-secondary, CAEC and PLAR for credit preparation.
These resources help learners in their everyday lives and include financial topics such as banking, credit, taxes and benefits.

"Maths Eyes is a project dedicated to helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds discover the maths they use in their everyday lives. The project works on the premise that if individuals are supported to look at familiar things and begin to see that mathematics is all around them, they can build confidence in their own ability to use mathematics. Mathematics that surrounds people in their everyday lives, for the most part, remains ‘invisible’."
The project is supported by guides, posters and videos, all of which are available without an account.
