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

对社会和经济繁荣的知情参与有赖于精通数学的民众，他们所有人都能够理解普通的数学图形，其中一些人还能够理解高级图形。该项目的好处包括(1)测量图形知识的工具；(2)解释年轻学生如何发展图形知识以及他们在解释图形方面遇到的困难的理论；(3)独联体在前沿图形研究和出版物方面提高全球竞争力的领导地位；以及(4)作为独联体研究团队的一部分，为两名博士生提供高质量的培训环境。

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.
