Seyum Getenet; Penelope Baker; Jill Fielding; Tracey Muir; Saidat Adeniji – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
This study examined how opportunities to incorporate numeracy across different primary curriculum areas and grade levels are highlighted in the Australian Curriculum v9.0. A document analysis approach was used to track the numeracy opportunities in the document across different curriculum areas and grade levels. The results showed that Science has…

Killian, Ginger – Marketing Education Review, 2023
Quantitative skills are a highly-sought skillset for today's graduates. However, students often misperceive marketing as a soft-skills discipline, leading to a crisis of confidence when faced with quantitative components within the discipline. The Quantitative Competency Development (QCD) innovation aligns with AACSB learning assurance standards,…

Stickles, Paula R. – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Quantitative reasoning takes on different meanings based on experience and background. Across the curriculum students have various needs for their quantitative reasoning experience. As a result, at our university students have a range of choices that more closely fit their future needs. Seven different departments across campus offer quantitative…

Connolly, Cornelia; Carr, Enda; Knox, Seamus – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The numerical ability of Irish students in international and national assessments is weaker than for literacy, particularly among higher-performing students. The aim of this study was to design a national teacher professional development programme to encourage teachers at post-primary level to develop numeracy competency across the post-primary…

Rational numbers (i.e., fractions, percentages, decimals, and whole-number frequencies) are notoriously difficult mathematical constructs. Yet correctly interpreting rational numbers is imperative for understanding health statistics, such as gauging the likelihood of side effects from a medication. Several pernicious biases affect health…

Dennis J. Downey; J. Brooke Ernest – Teaching Sociology, 2024
We report on a cross-disciplinary collaboration between sociology and mathematics education to more effectively cultivate quantitative literacy (QL) in the introductory sociology course. Focusing on an instructional unit presenting the Gini coefficient (the most commonly used summary measure of income inequality), we engaged in iterative cycles of…

Getenet, Seyum Tekeher – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2022
There is a consensus that numeracy is important for students to develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies in their everyday activities. As a result, teachers are encouraged to design numeracy rich tasks that incorporate real-life contexts across non-mathematics curriculum areas. However, it is not clear what types of knowledge teachers…

Saal, Leah Katherine – Adult Literacy Education, 2021
According to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act of 2014, literacy refers to "an individual's ability to read, write, and speak in English, compute, and solve problems [emphasis added], at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job, in the family of the individual, and in society" (Title 2, §203). Yet, according to…

Mellony Graven; Robyn Jorgensen – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
We explore the potential of merging numeracy and literacy, through using number stories to stimulate mathematical engagement with young, marginalized learners in their communities. Our data emerges from the Family Maths Storytime Programme (FMSP) run in partnership with teachers in two South African schools. The FMSP conducted sessions with…

Johnson, Martin – Research Matters, 2022
The concept of educational recovery is relevant to many systems, both those that experience some form of sudden disruption as well as those that historically have been prone to disruption. Our involvement in developing a curriculum framework for displaced learners in the Learning Passport project (UNICEF, 2020) made us more aware of the field of…

Anne Bennison – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
Informed citizenship in the 21st Century requires individuals to be numerate. In Australia, all teachers are expected to attend to numeracy inherent in the subjects they teach. Many teachers, however, find this approach challenging and may not see potential benefits for subject learning. Drawing on lesson vignettes and post-lesson interviews, a…

Wilder, Esther Isabelle – Journal of General Education, 2020
Although quantitative reasoning (QR) is central to general education, many college students lack fundamental numeracy skills. In response, The City University of New York established a QR faculty development program that trained instructors across the disciplines through teaching exercises, guided discussions, hands-on activities, the development…

Using Zone Theory to Understand Teacher Identity as an Embedder-of-Numeracy: An Analytical Framework
Bennison, Anne – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
Teacher identity provides useful insights into the learning and practices of teachers. The complexity of identity, however, makes it difficult to use in empirical research. An analytical framework with two components is presented. This analytical framework comprises a framework for identity as an embedder-of-numeracy, which clearly defines a…

Menzie-Ballantyne, Karena; Ham, Miriam – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2021
In June 2020, an Australian Curriculum (AC) review was announced, particularly regarding content crowding in primary years, flexibility and deep understanding of core concepts. The language of the announcement highlighted again the 'competing-priorities' discourse that suggests a disjuncture between focusing on fundamental knowledge and skills of…

Gorman, Vanessa; O'Keeffe, Lisa; Albrecht, Amie; McPhee, Jarrad – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
It is well accepted and understood amongst the mathematics education community that numeracy is the responsibility of all teachers, across all levels of schooling. However, the way numeracy is understood and actioned across the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary contexts is different. This paper reports on a case study of secondary school…
