ALM-16 Topic Group Mathematics in community service: developing pathways to build mathematical confidence for good citizenship Chris Klinger & Graham Griffiths

The ‘mathematics problem’... regular concerns about the numeracy and mathematics attainment levels of children industry reports emerge lamenting the numeracy skills of adults in the workforce newspapers repeatedly report on the lack of adult numeracy skills considerable literature on school-based & university maths learning gap in literature & public policy about of maths support for the broader community

The ‘mathematics problem’... functional innumeracy in adults is endemic vast numbers of adults lack maths proficiency to help their children with homework... or make sense of quantitative world Our view: –quantitative and mathematical literacies are as vital as the ability to read and write in an information-rich democratic society

Purpose of this Topic Group to prompt debate aimed at generating a renewed interest in supporting the general community to become mathematically literate at a level appropriate (at least) to their needs and aspirations to determine ways and means to establish consistent and on ‑ going community support programs in spirit of ‘good citizenship’

Views of the ALM community ALM-5:Mathematics as part of Lifelong Learning ALM-8:Numeracy for Empowerment and Democracy? ALM-15:A Declaration of Numeracy: Empowering Adults through Mathematics Education ALM-12 included a ‘Social Justice Forum’

Views of the ALM community...in a democracy, adults need to learn mathematics not only to develop skills to generate and solve their own mathematical problems, nor just to gain qualifications. They also need to understand why and how mathematics is generated, used and maintained in our society with concomitant consequences for democracy and citizenship. (Benn, 1997, p. 160)

Social Justice Forum revisited... Can we identify ways in which adult numeracy educators can work with others to raise awareness of social justice issues? How can [we] be advocates for the wide range of numeracy learning contexts and programs? How can we influence government policy that affects adult numeracy provision?

Vision... we propose the establishment of consistent and on-going community support programs to pursue a social justice agenda of empowerment (in personal, social, vocational, and political senses) by the provision of ready access to mathematics and numeracy learning resources in such a way as to achieve positive outcomes we wish to generate a positive approach to increasing functional quantitative literacy by providing pathways that our communities will embrace

Questions and Challenges (e.g....) how widespread is quantitative illiteracy? what is its impact; what are the consequences? what do we mean by critical citizenship? where does maths fit in? how might people become ‘empowered’? how do we do it? do people want to improve their quantitative literacy? no ‘Field of Dreams’... so how to engage people? a set curriculum? what’s the alternative? what about quals/certification? what are pros and cons of setting up industry /government/institutional partnerships? scope for international collaboration?
