Blagdanic, Casandra; Chinnappan, Mohan – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Numeracy in schools is becoming an increasingly important part of mathematics learning and teaching. This is because educators want students to engage with mathematical concepts more deeply, use mathematics to make sense of their environment and make decisions that are based on the analysis of mathematical information. In order to be numerate,…
