  2. Objectives of the program • Increasement of the level of literacy, understanding and presenting the contents of the read contents and numeracy for all age groups “from cradle to grave” “du tombeau jusqu’au berceau”. Priorities 2005 – 2008 • Improvement of the communication skills: listening – speaking. • Development of basic skills, in important life moments: reintegration in the formal/non formal education system educaţie, employment in a new job.

  3. Standards and level descriptors • Understanding - Read and understand information given by numbers ans symbols in simple/different graphical/ numerical material, in diagrams and charts. - Specify, describe, collect and record information for a practical problem or task, using numbers and measures. • Calculating and manipulating mathematical information - Generate results making sense and use appropriate methods and procedures, to a given level of accuracy. • Interpreting results and communicating information - Present and explain results making sense by using appropriate numbers, diagrams, chats and simbols.

  4. Professional development principles Learning environment -Built on what the trainees already know, valuing the various informal and alternative strategies trainees use to solve problems. - Include opportunities for the trainees to question, reason, solve problems, define goals and monitor their own progress by using estimation, mental math, computation and technology when appropriate.

  6. Professional development principles Design -Begin with teachers as mathematics learners and thinkers. - Be a continuing process that is connected to instruction. - Be welcoming and accessible to all, including to literacy and language teachers. - Be evaluate with respect to its impact on teacher behavior in relation to increased trainees learning.

  7. Professional development principles The trainer • Establishes a deep understanding of mathematics and its principles. • Understands how adults mathematical knowledge develops, how to recognize previous misconceptions and how to assess and engage prior learning. • Use a broad range of instructional strategies that utilize a variety of materials to meet learning goals. • Understand how research can be used to improve their effectiveness as teachers.
