This study investigated and analyzed the interactions between mathematics literacy skills using mathematical modeling. The study used an ASMD model to represent the population of individuals who have skills on addition (A), subtraction (S), multiplication (M) and division (D). The objectives achieved were that the recruitment parameter and coefficient of leaving any compartments significantly influence the system based on the free-equilibrium analysis of mathematics literacy skills. The study showed that system has direct and indirect dynamics in the three states: subtraction, multiplication and division. It also revealed that addition skill is easier to learn than others. Subtraction and multiplication do not interact and have no inter coefficient. The system showcased that good number of individuals are not efficient and effective in the utilization of these skills from the endemic equilibrium of the model showed that En>1 (asymptotically unstable). Finally, this study discovered that these elementary skills in mathematics is fundamental to learners, educated and uneducated, support continued inclusive, workable economic growth, full creative employment, decent work and improve academic performance for all at all levels and in the world at large. The study recommends that curriculum planners should give more time to study these skills thoroughly say one academic session, discourage the use of calculator at early stage, student and teacher factors should be taken into considerations and so on.
