The Numeracy for Work series provides photocopiable work sheets that help reinforce essential skills to do with numbers and basic mathematics. The work sheets are suitable for students in Years 7–10 and will also support less able students in higher year levels. The photocopiable work sheets are also included as a PDF on the attached CD-ROM, making them ideal resources for use on interactive whiteboards.
Level 2
In this second series (Level 2) of Numeracy for Work we return to the three workplaces – a supermarket, hotel and factory – to set real and relevant numeracy tasks.
Handling Data
The activities in this title, Handling data 2, include ordering office supplies, processing wages, interpreting data regarding employee history and products sales, and surveying the spending habits of customers.
