Hello Barb,
I have been doing several presentations on the cultural cognitive
differences in notations, algorithms, logic processes, and mathematical
values.  I would be happy to write an article for practioners to help them
reflect on the myth of mathematics as universal.  

Also would you be willing to announce that the International Adults Learning
Mathematics conference is being held this year in the USA?  I have attached
the call for papers which contains the date, location, and website for more
information.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Subject: [FocusOnBasics 1033] FOB on Numeracy

Dear List Members,

I am in the process of planning an issue of "Focus on Basics" on numeracy. 

If you've done any research on numeracy recently (teacher, action, academic,
whatever) and think it might make a good article for the issue, please let
me know. You can share it on list or contact me off list at
b.garner4 at verizon.net

If you know of any teachers or programs doing a spectacular job with
numeracy, please let me know, on or off list.

If there are any issues relating to numeracy that you think should be
addressed in the issue, please let me know.

If you would like to be on the editorial board for the issue, please let me
know. Requirement: experience teaching math, willingness to read and share
thoughts about articles as they go through their draft stages, ability to
participate in about 10 conference calls stretched out over a three or four
month period. 

We offer a small stipend for both writing and editorial board participation,
which in no way compensates you for the time you will put in. 

I look forward to hearing from you,
Thanks!
Barb Garner
Editor, "Focus on Basics"
