1. Actually, "math literacy" is part of the ed industry's jargon.

3. Actually it's numeracy
but I am sure that word is much too difficult for the chimp to either understand or pronounce.

4. The only time I ever hear that used in a sentence was in a college course.
All of the professional development crap that is stuffed in my mailbox talks about "math literacy."

5. Well what the literature says
and how teachers talk are two different things. Surely you realize that.

I prefer the term 'competent in Math'. Makes a lot more sense to me.
