Abstract	The numeracy handbook is a practical guide for teachers of numeracy and literacy to learners of English as a Second Language. Focus is on teaching numeracy and integrating numeracy and literacy. It considers issues in defining and teaching numeracy, examines numeracy in the workplace, designing a course and a unit of work, and analyzes numeracy skills. It also includes class activities at three levels of difficulty, a section on professional development activities for teachers, and a list of resources currently available in this field. The handbook contains five sections: (1) issues in teaching numeracy (why teach numeracy, the difference between numeracy and mathematics, numeracy theories, helping students develop numeracy concepts, developing mathematical language); (2) numeracy in the workplace (numeracy in occupations, changing numeracy demands, metric and imperial systems in the workplace, numeracy in workplace tasks); (3) designing a course (the design process, student profile, student needs and goals, planning a course, disparate levels, general methodological principles, assessment); (4) designing a unit of work (integrating language, literacy, and numeracy in the classroom, starting with a text type, starting with a numeracy concept, starting with a task, starting with a topical issue); and (5) numeracy strands and skills (the number system, space, measurement, data, estimation, calculator).
