Hi there

Here in Scotland we are beginning to look into the issues of numeracy for speakers of other languages, in terms of support, teaching and learning. There doesn't appear to be much research on the subject, or many resources, or  examples of effective practice. 

Does anyone have any examples of Numeracy with speakers of other languages, pieces of research or resources?

Appreciated!

Clare
