These include: The doubtful transferability of school maths to real life contexts, the declining participation in A level and higher education maths courses, the apparent exclusion of some groups, such as women and the aversion of many people to maths. This book addresses these issues by considering a number of key problems in maths education and numeracy:*differences among social groups, especially those related to gender and social class*the inseparability of cogStudies in mathematics education series ;16.Mathematics - Study and teaching (Continuing) - PsMathematics Teaching & ResearchHILCCMathematicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCMathematics - Study and teaching (Continuing) - Ps.Mathematics Teaching & ResearchMathematicsPhysical Sciences & Mathematics510.71510/.71/5Evans Jeff1944,1554189AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910777375103321Adult's mathematical thinking and emotions3815284UNINA
