Alexandre Cavalcante; Annie Savard; Elena Polotskaia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This article proposes an in-depth mathematics analysis of simple and compound interest through an exploration of the mathematical structures underlying these concepts. Financial numeracy concepts (simple and compound interest, interest rates, interest period, present and future value, etc.) have been added to the mathematics curriculum of the…

Ozkale, Abdullah; Ozdemir Erdogan, Emel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Nowadays, individuals are expected to be literate in different areas. Mathematical literacy and financial literacy are among them. Mathematical literacy has been evaluated in PISA since 2000 while financial literacy has been included in PISA since 2012. Based on the idea that there is a close relationship between these literacies, in this study…

Patterson, Margaret B. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2020
Research on adult English learners (ELs) typically focuses on language-related skills. However, adult ELs may also need instruction in numeracy to navigate daily life or understand health information. Little is known about how ELs use numeracy skills in their home lives and connections of skill use with related electronic numeracy skills. This…
