Abstract	In researching how adult numeracy teachers actively motivate and enable learners to apply the numeracy skills they learn to their own real life practices, a case study of two adult numeracy teachers and their learner groups was undertaken. This paper compares the teachers' contrasting personal experiences of mathematics learning to consider how significant moments in their own learning experiences may have influenced their beliefs about, and approaches to, their adult numeracy teaching practice. Similarities and differences between teachers' approaches are explored and compared, to conclude that teachers' learning experiences greatly influenced their beliefs and teaching practices.
