The remit of this 21-month empirical project was to explore what makes numeracy teaching meaningful to adult learners. The study breaks new ground in looking in depth at this issue with respect to adults. Although there is a substantial body of research and theory about teaching and learning mathematics/numeracy, the majority of this work has focused on children and young people in schools.
