Components of Numeracy: Tools for Engaging Learners in Meaningful Math

This workshop introduces adult education practitioners to the three components of numeracy (content, context, and cognitive and affective aspects) that have been aligned with the Mathematical Practices of the College and Career Readiness Standards. Components of Numeracy models the integration of conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and real-world application through a sequence of activities that come from and relate to a workplace environment in which numbers and mathematical activity are embedded. In short, this workshop will increase teacher comfort levels in generating a variety of mathematical questions and activities based on workplace situations.
