Creating a Culture of Numeracy

Numeracy is more than performing calculations; it is the ability to make sense of the world through mathematical thinking. It empowers learners to reason, solve problems, and make informed decisions. When schools cultivate environments where reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving are visible, celebrated, and accessible to all students and adults, numeracy shifts from isolated classroom tasks to powerful tools for understanding the world, building knowledge, and expressing ideas across disciplines and contexts. Such a culture does more than improve test scores; it nurtures curiosity, fosters collaboration among teachers and learners, and embeds numeracy into every corner of school life—making it part of the identity of the school community and a foundation for success in school and beyond.

Vision: Every learner in Maine develops the ability to confidently apply mathematical thinking in real-world contexts—supported by high-quality instruction, engaging learning experiences, and a statewide culture of mathematical curiosity. Guiding Principles : • Numeracy is not just math class; it is foundational for all learners. • Every educator is a numeracy educator. • Numeracy should be integrated across disciplines and all stages of learning. • High-quality instructional materials, professional learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to strong numeracy education. • Families, communities, and industries play a vital role in fostering numeracy learning.
