Activity: Numeracy Tables

Three charts focusing on mathematics are included in Section 10. The charts can be photocopied for use with learners.

Descriptions:

Addition: This is an addition table for the numbers zero to ten. Some equations are given on the page.
Subtraction: This is a subtraction table for the numbers zero to ten. The positive numbers are highlighted; the negative numbers appear above. Some equations are given on the page.
Multiplication Table: This is a times table for the numbers zero to ten. Some equations appear on the page.

Activity: Calculator Usage

Although it is helpful for learners to grasp mathematical concepts, the tutor may want to also teach calculator usage. Most people, regardless of their level of numeracy skills, will pull out a calculator before they pull out a pencil to do mathematics.

Learners can use the calculator to check their paper and pencil mathematic work. A small pocket calculator can be carried at all times. The tutor and learner may want to use the calculator in a real-world situation, such as at the grocery store.

The calculator keypad from Section 10 may be helpful in teaching calculator skills.
