Research Question
Will a school-wide Numeracy Campaign change the school’s
attitudes toward math and improve understanding?
![Page 3: Numeracy: Math Across the Curriculum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e0b550346895dbb7784/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is Numeracy?
•How we use math in the real world.
•You would never be proud to say, “I can’t read.”So why is it ok to say, “I don’t do math”?

Math Analysis Enrollment(pre-calculus with trigonometry)
More students are taking higher level mathematics.

Conclusion
We hope using and posting math vocabulary and having activities and celebrations will improve attitudes towards math, understanding of the vocabulary and improve problem solving.
We have seen improvement in Teachers’ and Students Attitudes toward math, Math EOI scores and math participation.
