NIFL LINCS Special Collection on Numeracy
"The purpose of this section (of the National Institute for Literacy LINCS special collection on Science and Numeracy) is to provide adult learners with good resources for learning about mathematics. There is an emphasis on the way math skills are used in the real world. The websites are arranged by the topics suggested in "A Framework for Adult Numeracy Students," based upon a study by the Adult Numeracy Network (ANN). These topics are similar to the subjects that will be emphasized in the 2002 Mathematics test for the Certificate of General Educational Development (GED). "
