Numeracy vs. Numberacy
Abstract
Before we can begin to think about what it means to teach numeracy we have to come to terms with what it is we mean by numeracy and what it means for someone to be numerate. In this session we will explore this construct through some mathematical experiences and discuss which of these experiences offer us opportunities to be numerate and which do not – and from this critically consider various definition of numeracy that we may wish to subscribe to.
