A manual written by a British Columbia ABE math instructor for other ABE math instructors who are interested in changing their teaching practice to more closely follow the recommendations from the research on teaching numeracy to adults. The manual sets out some best practices from the literature, then outlines some difficulties instructors may face and makes suggestions for overcoming them. The manual concludes with many pages of activities, requiring little or no preparation, which provide examples of how to implement the best practices. Topics covered include: resistance to changing traditional math teaching, emotions in the classroom, use of manipulatives and visual presentations in teaching math, real-life math, and putting students in charge of their own learning.

"Loved the use of manipulatives." – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
