Numeracy is the word to know for today’s math teachers! It’s more than computation and devising mathematic formulas. Numeracy is the ability to use mathematical ideas, principles and procedures for a purpose in one’s life.

There is a real urgency to improving our math instruction. The GED Testing Service (GEDTS) confirms that the Mathematics portion of the GED Tests continues to produce the lowest passing rate of the five different area tests. We need to search out training and learn new ways to improve our instruction. On this website, you will find important links and resources to help you learn more about numeracy and about teaching adults. The news section will feature special announcements and notes about upcoming workshops and events. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to ask a question or suggest a site or publication that might be helpful to others in our field!
