Learning opportunities for Techno-mathematical Literacies As a way of developing mathematical thinking in workplaces, in particular to develop understanding based on techno-mathematical literacies, we have devised what we call learning opportunities: flexible resources for mathematical learning that can support employees in developing the TmL that are useful in their work, and which could eventually be incorporated within, or be presented alongside, workplace technical training materials. On these pages we give brief demonstrations of the tools and activities that we have developed as elements of our learning opportunities. You can read more about them in the publications suggested below, and if you are interested to try out the tools and learning opportunities in your own company or organisation, please contact us.
