Teaching Adults to Make Sense of Number to Solve Problems: Using the Learning Progressions is part of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of literacy and numeracy for adult learners in New Zeland. The end goal is to enable tutors to meet the learning needs of their adult learners so those learners can engage effectively with the texts, tasks and practices they encounter in their training and learning. The suggestions in each booklet are aligned with the following Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) publications:

• Learning Progressions for Adult Literacy and Numeracy: Background Information

• Learning Progressions for Adult Literacy

• Learning Progressions for Adult Numeracy.
