Publishers Description: This book challenges conventional conceptions of mathematics education to produce a genuinely fresh look at the concept of numeracy. The contributors focus on numeracy in the context of daily life, emphasizing that the teaching of mathematics should be concerned not simply to increase the number of young people who can be considered "numerate", but also to ensure that students are taught numeracy skills. They explore the implications of redefining numeracy for teaching practice and for student assessment.
