FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Typically, most people don't realize when and how they can use the mathematics they were taught in high school – yet many of the mathematical ideas and skills can be a powerful tool for understanding how the world works. Learning and Teaching for Mathematical Literacy addresses this situation, offering practical strategies for developing a broader vision of mathematical literacy in the classroom and recognising the importance of maintaining these skills into adult life. Linked to the material explored throughout this book, classroom activities and lesson materials are freely available for use via the QR codes included in each chapter.Filled with case studies and classroom activities, chapters tackle several topics:Describing a framework for a broader vision of mathematical literacy – what is it, and why is it important?Teaching mathematical literacy in the classroomApplying mathematical literacy to 'real life' scenarios: My dad is buying a new dishwasher. Should he buy the extended warranty on offer? My phone works fine but I've been offered an upgrade. How should I decide whether to take it?The role of technology in teaching mathematical literacyDesigning mathematical measures for real-word quantitiesFirmly grounded by practical applications for the classroom and beyond, this is an essential handbook for any teacher, teaching assistant, or mathematics subject lead who wishes to develop their students' mathematical literacy skills. This is also an ideal resource for those delivering or enrolled in teacher preparation courses.

Author Biography

Hugh Burkhardt, long time Professor of Mathematical Education and Director of Nottingham University's internationally renowned Shell Centre, is an applied mathematician and strategic researcher-designer in education. Working in both the United Kingdom and the United States, he is particularly interested in the challenges of achieving change in school systems.Daniel Pead has been an IT leader of the Shell Centre team since spending his gap year working on the Investigations on Teaching with Microcomputers as an Aid project in 1983. He has worked on the Centre's contributions to reSolve, Bowland Maths, and World Class Tests, amongst others. He is particularly interested in the design of computer-based material for teaching and assessment – preferably both together!Kaye Stacey is an internationally renowned researcher, teacher educator, and a prolific designer of educational materials. She is Emeritus Professor Mathematics Education at the University of Melbourne and chaired the Expert Group for the 2012 PISA assessments of Mathematical Literacy.All three authors have received awards for contributions to educational design in STEM subjects from ISDDE, the International Society for Design and Development in Education.
