Many
practitioners don’t
feel confident teaching numeracy.
Some had negative experiences
learning math, some don’t
feel they know how to approach
it, others wonder how numeracy
is different from math.
In this issue of Literacies we
opened up discussion about
numeracy practice. We were
delighted to include a
range of practitioner reflections.
Some describe how their
practice reflects their
philosophy. Some outline
what they have learned
from students. Others share
what has worked, and how
they know it works. All
have considered, and tried,
new approaches. The articles
were a starting point.
Our web forum was a place
to talk about our experiences
of numeracy work. We
explored questions such
as:
- What makes it hard to
teach numeracy?
- How does your philosophy
affect how you approach
numeracy?
- What are your issues,
dilemmas and questions
about numeracy teaching?
- What excites you about
numeracy work?
The discussion started
on Monday, June 6th and
ended on Friday,
June 24th. Click here to see
