Abstract

This report provides an overview of existing research on adult numeracy, with a
strong focus on the United Kingdom but also including other countries. The
emphasis is on poor numeracy: its antecedents and effects, teaching and learning to
overcome it, and the potential use of ICT and mobile technologies in that pursuit.
