This Snapshot on Numeracy across the curriculum is designed to present the latest research-based information, advice and strategies. It is relevant to all those engaged in school education – just like literacy, numeracy is everybody's business. The Snapshot draws heavily on recent Australian research to provide insights into the what, why and how of numeracy across the curriculum.

It will assist those practitioners willing to engage with the issues, to interrogate their own beliefs and current practices and to develop a numeracy-informed culture in their classrooms. It will also challenge and inform those with formal leadership roles in education to acknowledge the importance of addressing numeracy across the curriculum through their inspiration and practical support of their teachers
