The Learning and Teaching of 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 topics such as: Describing a framework for a broader vision of mathematical literacy - what is it, and why is it important? Teaching mathematical literacy in the classroom Applying 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 literacy Designing mathematical measures for real-word quantities Firmly grounded by practical applications for the classroom and beyond, this is an essential handbook for any teacher, teaching assistant, mathematics subject lead who wishes to develop their students' mathematical literacy skills. This is also an ideal ready for those delivering or enrolled in teacher preparation courses"-- Provided by publisher.Authorized Access PointBurkhardt, Hugh Learning and teaching for mathematical literacy
