Improving Numeracy Outcomes and Mathematics Capability: Understanding Young Students' Interpretation of Graphics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Informed participation in society and economic prosperity depends on a mathematically proficient populace ALL of whom are able to interpret common mathematical graphics and SOME of whom are able to interpret advanced graphics. The project benefits include (1) an INSTRUMENT to measure graphic knowledge, (2) THEORIES that explain how knowledge of graphics develops in young students and difficulties that they experience in interpreting graphics, (3) improved GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS leadership by the CIs in cutting edge graphics research and publications, and (4) a HIGH QUALITY TRAINING ENVIRONMENT environment for two PhD students as part of the CIs' research team.
