Highlights
The strands considered are: a situated perspective; CHAT (Cultural, Historical Activity Theory), drawing on Engeström 2001; FitzSimons 2005; Triantafillou and Potari 2010); Literacy as Social Practice (e.g. Street, Baker and Tomlin 2005); and ethnomathematics (e.g. Knijnik 2002). The book brings these strands together to focus on numerate activity ranging across more than a dozen richly described contexts with special attention to the distinctive tools used in different activities, as well as to the role of ideologies in legitimatising different versions of mathematics
Throughout, the book explores the relationship between formal mathematics education and everyday numeracy practices - that is, practices where numerate, spatial, probabilistic, and/ or quantitative signifiers are prominent
The chapters in Part I describe a number of numeracy practices, with special attention to ‘what “surrounds” the numeracy practices, what it is that gives them meaning’ (p. 19)
