The document discusses improving numeracy education by focusing on real-world word problems rather than abstract mathematics. It argues for using minimal language and maximum visuals in numeracy problems. Examples are provided of transforming contextual word problems into more visual, numeracy-focused problems by removing extraneous details and language. The goal is for students to demonstrate their quantitative skills through practical, functional use of mathematics.

Numeracy and Mathematical literacy () one thing everyone more or less has come to agree on is that mathematical literacy cannot be defined in terms of mathematical knowledge. Mathematical literacy is in fact mainly about the functional aspect of mathematical knowledge. It is about individual competencies to use mathematical knowledge in a practical, functional way; mathematical literacy in order to . or mathematical literacy for () (Jablonka, 2003)
School Mathematics versus Numeracy Avoid the typical school mathematics in adult mathematics / numeracy education. (FitzSimons, 2002) (and many others) Design pre-vocational education, where you treat the students as adults. With real life assignments and real life responsibilities. (Koops, 2000)
Complexity and depth Find the complexity not in abstraction of the mathematics used, but in the richness of the situations. (Lynn Arthur Steen e.a., 1995) Do not hide the toolkit mathematics in a blur of thematic assignments or thematic approaches. (Hoogland, 2009, ALM)
Results from earlier research Real life assignments Observations, pictures Stimulated recall Analyzing the videos 息 Kees Hoogland [email_address]
Analyses of the videos Matching numbers with the sizes of the product of parts of the products. Interpreting numbers a symbol for a kind of screw, drill or other things. Using the numbers as a measure instruction Using the numbers to make a list of needed parts, counting Hardly any operations with numbers showed up. In cases where addition had to be made, they all use a calculator or even Excel in a very natural way. Matching complex plans and schemes with the real product Hardly any mathematical language to express their numerical or spatial competences. Use of gestures to support the expressions of numerical competences. 息 Kees Hoogland [email_address]
Conclusions Students have competences in a large number of areas that we can categorize as numerical or spatial competences and if-then reasoning. Students can reason well if they are working in the situation or if they literally have the product in hand. Gestures and physical visualizations are important components in the students numeracy repertoire. 息 Kees Hoogland [email_address]
