Math Fear. Numeracy and Mathematical Literacy « Richard V. DeMerchant's Blog. “Mathematicians, who are only mathematicians, have exact minds, provided all things are explained to them by means of definitions and axioms; otherwise they are inaccurate and insufferable, for they are only right when the principles are quite clear” ~ Blaise Pascal On May 10, 2011, I hosted an Elluminate session titled “Numeracy / Mathematical Literacy – What is it and why is it important in the 21st Century.”
This session was targeted at British Columbia independent schools in conjunction with the BC Association of Mathematics Teachers (@BCAMT) Independent Schools Representative Chris Stroud (@stroudwpg). The purpose of this session was three-fold: We wanted to create a means to connect independent school mathematics teachers across the province.Provide some starting points for schools to discuss numeracy / mathematical literacy in the context of their school.Determine if there was a desire to continue to connect on-line to discuss issues in mathematics.
