Don't Subtract Numeracy, David Tout
David (Dave) Tout
The development of adults’ core skills for work and life requires attention to language and literacy, but numeracy counts as well, says Dave Tout.

This paper describes key aspects of the frameworks for the assessment of adult numeracy and mathematical literacy in PIAAC and PISA, which are OECD two flagship programs for international comparative assessment of competencies. The paper examines commonalities and differences in how the constructs of adult numeracy and mathematical literacy were assessed in PIAAC and PISA, and sketches selected challenges associated with interpretation of results from these surveys.
Revisiting Fibonacci And Related Sequences, Arthur Benjamin, Jennifer Quinn
Revisiting Fibonacci And Related Sequences, Arthur Benjamin, Jennifer Quinn
Jennifer J. Quinn
This issue focuses on proving several interesting facts about the Fibonacci Sequence using a combinatorial proof. The aim of Delving Deeper is for teachers to pose and solve novel math problems, expand on mathematical connections, or offer new insights into familiar math concepts. Delving Deeper focuses on mathematics content appealing to secondary school teachers. It provides a forum that allows classroom teachers to share their mathematics from their work with students, their classroom investigations and products, and their other experiences. Delving Deeper is a regular department of Mathematics Teacher.
