      Abstract
      In this article, we make the case for the development of a numeracy practices measure in the light of a review of relevant research and extant measures. We argue that a numeracy practices measure would acknowledge and validate adult learners’ practice gains and inform teaching geared to their circumstances, needs and interests.
