Wikipedia:
Numeracy is the ability to reason with numbers and other mathematical concepts. To be numerically literate, a person has to be comfortable with logic and reasoning. Some of the areas that are involved in numeracy include: basic numbers, orders of magnitude, geometry, algebra, probability and statistics.
Example sentences:
Numeracy is used in science class when students interpret a graph, in woodwork when they confidently measure a piece of wood, or in cooking when a student halves a recipe without being given specific instructions on what to do. (The State of Queensland)
What appears in most definitions of numeracy from the 1980s and 1990s is the use of mathematics in real-life situations and the idea that it can be used in a goal-oriented way, depending on the needs and interests of the individual in a given context (home, community, workplace). (NCSALL)
Punctuality, literacy, numeracy and enthusiasm are the four key requirements of any young person seeking their first job. (Guardian News and Media Limited)

Definition from
own experience or research:
教育現場ではLiteracyと並べてよく登場する言葉で、基本的に国語に対し算数、という考えで数量に関わる学習範囲、またその技能を指す。高学年ではすばやく計算できることだけを目標とするのではなく、論理的に段階を経て数量関係の問題解決のために考え、その道筋を説明できる思考能力を指す場合もある。また就職に必要な数学的技能を指す場合は「数学的基本知識」ともいえる。状況に応じて少々言い換える必要がある。
Example sentences:
あなたの「数学的思考力」は正しい訓練で着実にアップする。 (3分で学ぶ細野真宏の本質見極)
