What Teachers Need to Know About Numeracy

Peter Westwood

The need for our students to develop numeracy skills is undeniable, and articulated in many quarters – but agreement on what exactly this entails or how it can be achieved is less universal!

This easy-to-use guide explores the emerging issues in numeracy teaching, with chapters addressing what we mean by numeracy, the development of numeracy from early childhood through to adulthood, the place of calculation and problem solving, barriers to numeracy, and assessment. The style is clear and succinct, with thorough referencing of the underlying research for those who want to pursue particular ideas. Each chapter begins with a brief identification of key issues, and concludes with a collection of useful links to other sources of information and additional resources.
