The guidance defines numeracy as students’ ability to confidently understand, interpret, and apply mathematical concepts across grade levels and real-world and academic contexts. It also clarifies what numeracy is not—limiting definitions to computation, rote learning, or narrow placement in advanced or only college-prep pathways.

The Illinois State Board of Education is committed to ensuring equitable access to highquality numeracy instruction for all students, including culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse student populations. This commitment requires intentionally designing instruction that recognizes and responds to the unique strengths and needs of each learner. This plan aims to strengthen teaching and learning by building cohesive systems of support for students, educators, and leaders.  \nStudents will build and apply numeracy skills through tasks that develop reasoning,  \nfluency, and realworld problem solving.  \nGOAL 2  \nEducators  \nEach section works to support three key goals:  \nEducators will use  \nevidence-based numeracy instructional  \nstrategies to strengthen students’  \nmathematical understanding and confidence.  \nGOAL 3  \nLeaders  \nLeaders will promote a culture of numeracy through targeted  \nprofessional learning and data-informed instructional support.  \nIllinois Comprehensive Numeracy Plan • 8  \nWhat is Numeracy?  \nAs defined in this guidance, numeracy is the ability for all students to confidently understand, interpret, and apply mathematical concepts across all domains of mathematics in a variety of real-world and academic contexts.  \nNumeracy IS...  \n9 Encompassing of all grade levels and domains of mathematics  \n9 Sustaining mastery of essential skills to make connections across domains  \n9 Understanding mathematical concepts  \n9 Interpreting mathematical information  \n9 Applying math in real-world contexts  \n9 Applying math in academic contexts  \n9 Communicating mathematical thinking  \n9 Choosing and using appropriate mathematical tools  \n9 Problem solving in unfamiliar situations using mathematical reasoning  \n9 For everyone  \nNumeracy IS NOT...  \n8 Solely computation/arithmetic  \n8 Rote memorization  \n8 Restricted to the math classroom  \n8 Reserved for advanced math learners/ courses  \n8 Reserved only for students who plan to attend college or enter STEM fields  \n8 Disconnected from lived experiences  \n8 A reflection of innate talent or fixed ability  \n8 Solely for “math people”  \nNumeracy supports the development of a positive mathematical identity where students see themselves as capable, persistent, and confident problem solvers. Developing these abilities requires a strong mathematical foundation across the full K-12 continuum and supports the development of mathematically literate citizens. All students have the capacity to develop numeracy when they are provided with equitable access to high-quality instruction, culturally relevant learning experiences, and opportunities to engage meaningfully in mathematics.  \nIllinois Comprehensive Numeracy Plan • 9  \nWhy is This Guidance Important?  \nThe 2025 Illinois Assessment of Readiness results indicate that 38. 5% of students in Grades 3–8 and 39.3% of high school students met grade-level proficiency standards in mathematics. This data is not a reflection of student potential. Instead, it highlights the need to closely examine and realign the systems and structures that guide mathematics instruction.  \nFigure 1: Percentage of students scoring at each of the performance levels for the Illinois Assessment of Readiness by year in 2025  \nFigure 2: Percentage of students scoring at each of the performance levels in the ACT Suite by grade level in 2025  \nRecovery in mathematics continues to lag behind literacy, and persistent disparities endure across race, income, English proficiency, and disability status.
