Facets of numeracy: teaching, learning, and practices

The purpose of this chapter is to develop an inclusive and coherent discus- sion about research developments within numeracy while, at the same time, highlight- ing the contributions of its different facets. These facets include two broad contexts in which numeracy development and practices take place, schooling/initial teacher education and the workplace, and two centred on specific areas of mathematical con- tent, statistical and financial literacy. Research in this review is analysed through the dimensions of the Model of Numeracy for the 21st Century—contexts, mathematical knowledge, tools, dispositions and critical orientation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential new directions for numeracy research.
