Lena will talk on how to encourage citizenship for democracy through mathematics/numeracy courses for adults, exploring how mathematics can strengthen adults’ participation in formal and informal democracy.
|
Lena’s topic focuses on how teachers might strengthen adults’ participation in formal and informal democracy. She will explore the notion of democracy and its links to adults mathematics education, giving examples but also posing questions about how mathematics/numeracy teachers can develop democratic approaches in their teaching planning.
