Introduction
This Unit examines the factors that contribute to low numeracy levels and considers strategies suitable for supporting students with under-developed numeracy skills. It examines examples of best practice for integrating numeracy enhancement within vocational courses and analyses how best to instigate and develop such programs. Through this Unit, you will develop strategies suitable for your own teaching context and identifying methods to evaluate the effectiveness of such strategies.
