Level 2

Two great PPTs with step by step examples using the lattice method (with decimals up to 3 places) and lots of real life practical examples inc. money and measures.
One PPT is for the tutor and can also be used to demonstrate the step by step process. The second PPT is for students and includes blank lattice grids and a series of problems to work on individually or in pairs (could also be printed to make a useful work book).

Move – On learner guide is a great step by step illustrated 11 page booklet, ideal for students preparing for L1 or L2 Literacy and Numeracy tests. How to register, find the practice exam questions and keep track of results/progress.

A fabulous multi-sensory, differentiated activity where students gradually build up their own mind maps and learn to see writing a a process not simply a finished piece of work. With excellent tutor notes and extension ideas.

A great warm-up or starter activity – covers many aspects of the numeracy curriculum (E3 upwards) plus general knowledge. Originally written when the author was bemused to find that many people did not know how many weeks there are in a year!

A Level 2 text with comprehension questions. Ideal for any student with an interest in history.

4 step by step exercises allowing construction students to produce professional looking invoices, job costings and an illustrated list of tools.

Very useful and realistic practice – questions cover mobiles, cooking, printing photos, plumbing rates, etc.

A 24 piece jigsaw where pairs or small groups of learners must correctly match synonyms on triangular pieces in order to complete the hexagonal puzzle. Makes a great ice breaker or starter activity for pairs or small groups. Although synonyms are only covered at level 2 of the SfL curriculum this puzzle is also great for improving the vocabulary of E3-L1 learners.

A4 paper for students using or learning the lattice method of written multiplication.

26 week Literacy Scheme of Work for E3-L2. An extremely useful and well thought out plan, originally used with New Deal learners and based around the free DfES Skills for Life learning materials.
