It is important to be aware of this when teaching students esp. those from diverse backgrounds.
A question we have is how young should we start teaching financial numeracy - should this be introduced in preschool as opposed to secondary as mentioned in the article.]]> 2023-01-03 16:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432634058 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432634518 We learned that numeracy goes way beyond the application of basic arithmetic operations to solve financial questions. It encompasses the whole spectrum of math concepts, procedures and instruments. Its situated at the intersection of financial education and mathematics education. We want to know more about how financial literacy is taught in Ontario classrooms / what it looks like in action.]]> 2023-01-03 16:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432634518 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432635808 How do you incorporate social-justice into financial literacy?

Numeracy as a social practice is a new term/concept that we had not considered. On page 14 they mention financial numeracy as a way of approaching the concerns of social implications.]]> 2023-01-03 16:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432635808 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432635905 We learned that there are 3 dimensions of teaching financial numeracy: contextual dimension, conceptual dimension, and systemic dimension.  

One question we have is how we can take financial numeracy and make it engaging for students (especially young ones)]]> 2023-01-03 16:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432635905 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639217 One thing we learned is although financial numeracy is not a new topic, it is undervalued and understudied. A question is why is this not talked about more even though it is such a prevalent topic and important to daily life. ]]> 2023-01-03 16:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639217 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639464 Something we've learned is that cultural activity theory, ethnomathematics, New Literacy Studies, and situated cognition makes up numeracy as social practice

Numeracy is politically situated: how can we educate children on global political situations in developing countries without categorizing them in the same group?]]> 2023-01-03 16:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639464 https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639505 Our takeaway was that we understood why the conceptual/contextual/systematic financial pyramid was structured in the order it was, as each level of knowledge is necessary in preceding the next.

Our question was: what is an example of how to elevate Numeracy as Social Practice conversations as the author recomends. ]]> 2023-01-03 16:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseylewisca/db190ktlza4hoj2i/wish/2432639505
