Starter for Ten Learning Activities
This set of learning activities supports learners to:
•Become more aware of how mathematics can contribute to successful completion of vocational tasks.
•Reflect on their personal mathematical learning experiences and identify some engaging starting points for their future learning.
•Become more engaged in and enjoy mathematical activity.
•Become more aware that mathematical ideas and techniques which are relevant in their personal lives can also be useful vocationally (and vice versa).
•Develop specific mathematical skills and understanding.
•Develop confidence in their capacity to learn and use mathematics.
Many of the learning activities are readily adaptable for use in a range of vocational areas; and some which are generic are usable directly with any vocational area because the learners’ responses will be grounded in that area.
