Abstract

Financial literacy

Critical orientation

Adult numeracy

Mathematical literacy, numeracy

Statistical literacy

The purpose of this chapter is to develop an inclusive and coherent discussion about research developments within numeracyNumeracy while, at the same time, highlighting the contributions of its different facets. These facets include two broad contextsContext in which numeracyNumeracy development and practicesNumeracy practices take place, schooling/initial teacherTeacher educationeducationInitial teacher education and the workplace, and two centred on specific areas of mathematical content, statistical and financial literacyFinancial literacy. Research in this review is analysed through the dimensions of the Model of Numeracy for the 21st Century—contextsContext, mathematical knowledgeMathematical knowledge, toolsTools, dispositionsDisposition and critical orientationCritical orientation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential new directions for numeracyNumeracy research.
