Abstract	This numeracy package, which is intended for use by facilitators in group or tutoring situations, consists of materials designed to help adult literacy students understand number systems, appreciate the different roles that numbers play in daily life, and gain the confidence needed to work with numbers in everyday situations. Part 1, which establishes contexts for using numbers and explains number systems, includes sections dealing with recognizing numbers, counting and number values, calendars and dates, and time and clocks. In part 2, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are taught through a nontraditional spiral approach according to which all operations are introduced at a basic level, reintroduced at an intermediate level, and reintroduced a second time at a higher level of difficulty, all the while building on students' prior knowledge. Each section contains a title paper, a brief overview of the section, suggestions for working with the materials provided, and student handouts and exercises. (MN)
