Key question:What does it mean to be mathematically literate?

Page 2: Ml response

Key question:What does it mean to be mathematically literate?

And what is the best way of organising the school maths literacy curriculum to help

learners achieve this?

Page 3: Ml response

• How prescriptive should a curriculum be about sequencing, pacing and teaching approach?

• Do we know what best practice in a mathematical literacy classroom looks like?

Need to know more about

• whether ML is achieving anything

• what works in the classroom

– Boaler 2002 on equity and reform … difficulties and possibilities

– In SA context we’ve had work by Sethole, Adler, Pournara and Graven and Venkatilluminating complexity of context-content

Page 17: Ml response

Progression

• Ways in which progression is dealt with

– Content (Data: single data set, two data sets, multiple data sets)

– Context (Finance: personal-workplace-social/global)

– Confidence in solving problems (Reduction in scaffolding)

• Where does it lead to? Challenge at the high end?

Page 18: Ml response

Some detail

• Finance

• Algebra – aversion?

• Financial aspects

• Clarity in likelihood section on calculations needed

• Stats – could go further?

• Assessment – still gone for paper 1 ‘easy’, paper 2 ‘more challenging’. Why?
