"Our lives are becoming increasingly data driven. Our phones monitor our time
and internet usage and online surveys discern our opinions and likes. These
data harvests are used for telling us how well we’ve slept or what we might
like to buy.
Numbers are becoming more important for everyday life, yet people’s numerical
skills are falling behind. For example, the percentage of Year 12
schoolchildren in Australia taking higher and intermediate mathematics has been
declining for decades.
To help the average person understand big data and numbers, we often use visual
summaries, such as pie charts. But while non-numerate folk will avoid numbers,
most numerate folk will avoid pie charts. Here’s why."
