Measurement Activities

Phil Kane

Phil taught mathematics in area and secondary schools and wrote some secondary level student revision resources. Following some working years in industry he became a mathematics lecturer on a polytechnic bridging programme.

More recently he has been involved in numeracy education with NCALNE tutors, and general education mathematics with primary teachers on their University degree studies. He has also been part of the Numeracy Developers’ Teams with the Ministry of Education, then TEC.

Experiences with foundation level mathematics learners, alongside the learning histories that adults bring with them as they return to study, leads Phil’s interest in how adults learn and apply the many aspects of numeracy in their workplaces.
