Many adults, given the right context, want a second chance to succeed at something they have previously failed at, to throw off the label of being ‘hopeless at maths’. Good numeracy provision can offer a chance to make that breakthrough, and can help people discover their potential and build confidence and self-esteem.
This guide gives a useful overview of some of the key issues involved in
adult numeracy provision. It includes suggestions about how to encourage people
to participate in numeracy programmes, and goes on to look at assessment and
planning in relation to the Adult Numeracy Core Curriculum. It has a section on
good practice in numeracy teaching, including dealing with the language of
maths, and suggestions about teaching strategies. The guide includes quotations,
case studies, examples of good practice as well as checklists, recommendations
about useful resources and a list of numeracy websites and contacts.
