The crisis around teaching and learning of mathematics, and its use
in everyday life and work, relate to a number of issues, including:
the doubtful transferability of school maths to real life contexts;
the declining participation in A level and higher education maths
courses; the apparent exclusion of some groups, such as females;
and the aversion of many people to maths. This book addresses these
issues by considering a number of key problems in maths education
and numeracy: differences among social groups, especially those
related to gender and social class; the inseparability of cognition

practical applications in education and training, such as
clarifying problems of the transfer of learning, and of countering
maths anxiety. It points to areas for further research in
