It describes in detail European levels of competence in numeracy relating to real life situations. There is also a bank of learning materials & an assessment tool for you to use with your own learners; and an exercise maker which will assist you to create your own learning materials.

"For use by students, a Frequency Distribution Table with Cumulative Frequency column. Frequency is entered using +/- buttons, cumulative frequency is entered manually and the tool shows whether the entry is correct (green) or not (red)."

New article published: Albanian students' motives for preferring certain real-life situations for learning mathematics"

This article deals with an intervention unit which focused on the positive effect of integrating poems, stories and fables (the literary genre) for improving mathematical language, fostering the teaching of mathematics language, increasing satisfaction with the process and strengthening the relationship between use of daily language and mathematics language. The study was conducted amongst pre-service mathematics teachers, specialising in literacy activities designed to foster mathematics language.
