Designing and implementing effective cross-curricular numeracy tasks

十多年来，算术一直是国家教育的重点，但学生的算术成绩似乎没有什么进步。缺乏算术技能会给个人带来毁灭性的社会和经济后果。这个项目旨在通过以下方式提高学生的计算能力：注意设计任务，以便在整个课程中加强计算学习；改进教学实践，以期提高学生在标准化计算测试和更现实的、结合实际的任务中的表现。该项目旨在为学校课程中有效的计算教育产生新的理论和实践见解。

Numeracy has been a national education priority for more than a decade, yet there appears to be little progress in students' numeracy performance. A lack of numeracy skills leads to devastating social and economic outcomes for individuals. This project aims to improve students' numeracy capabilities through: attention to the design of tasks intended to enhance numeracy learning across the curriculum; and the refinement of teaching practices with a view to improving student performance on both standardised numeracy tests and more realistic, contextualised tasks. The project aims to generate new theoretical and practical insights into effective numeracy education across the school curriculum.
