I am currently studying the Foundations of Numeracy as a Sem 3 subject. It's an interesting one... but wow... things have changed since I was at school... we don't use the words 'plus', 'minus' or 'times'. They also have changed the method of subtraction from borrowing and paying back to converting the tens into ones. The first four weeks have been broken down into Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. Then we have to concentrate on Fractions and Whole Numbers over the rest of the semester.
It's quite exciting though, for the assignment have to design a Wiki, using Web 2.0 technology. With pages, links and everything! Because it is online, the assessors basically just remove edit access from students until they've marked it! My first submission is due the day I arrive in Melbourne for Christmas... so going to be organised to get it done early!
