A study examined the availability, cost, and usefulness of numeracy packages suitable for use in further education. Sixty-one of 590 further education (including tertiary) colleges in England, Wales, and Scotland (a 10.3 percent response rate) completed survey instruments. Relatively few books and packages were found to be widely used. Many staff members construct their own assignments, and in spite of some apparent duplication of effort, there is some evidence that students preferred college-made assignments over commercial material. It appears that numeracy in further education is an underexploited, underresearched area of study and thus deserving of further research. (The final section of this report includes a few ground rules for developing and using learning packages along with some cautionary notes about computer-based materials. A short appendix on numeracy workshops is also included.) (MN)
