eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This document is the teacher’s edition of a learning module designed to help nonnative English speakers develop basic workplace mathematics skills. This module was developed by educators from the Emily Griffith Opportunity School. The math curriculum presented in how math might be taught to nonnative English speakers at a manufacturing worksite. Included in the manual are an introduction outlining the module’s objectives and scope, eight session outlines, an appendix explaining basic differences between the mathematical conventions used in the United States and in other countries, and an answer key. The following topics are covered in the session outlines: basic math problems, basic operations, story problems, estimation and averages, decimals, standard allowed minute, division of decimals, and piece rate formulas. Each session outline contains some or all of… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This workbook, designed for workplace literacy courses, contains materials for a mathematics review course to be taken prior to a course in blueprint reading. The course provides practice in the mathematics skills students need in order to take a blueprints course, including practice in calculating decimals, linear measurement, common fractions and mixed numbers, and determining angles. Introductory materials include objectives, a topical outline, a course outline, and information on course time. The workbook contains teacher tips for 10 sessions (handouts and materials, lecture ideas, and classroom exercises), information sheets and problem set materials for four sessions, and a pretest and a posttest with answers. The lessons and units include information sheets and problems to solve through mathematics and measurement. (KC) Link til kilde
