AN MSS1/E3.3

A very practical and useful E2-E3 Functional Maths resource for extracting information from lists and tables, recording information in a table, and completing simple calculations with time (programme length).

A Functional Maths project for Entry 2/3 students. It requires students to read and interpret information from a hair salon appointment book. To use add, subtract and multiply; calculate stock and cost of services. Students must use the given appointment book throughout the whole project as well as show their working out and check their answers. It is a good introduction to the Functional Skills requirements of using all the information given rather than treating each question as a separate entity.
Fully mapped to the Functional Maths criteria.

A multi-functional resource for Literacy or Numeracy. Sample TV listings by day, programme, start and end times, channel and genre. Use for alphabetic or numeric sorting, skimming and scanning exercises, literacy social sight vocabulary for days of the week, numeracy exercises for calculating time, etc. This resource contains some sample exercise questions to use which can be developed further according to need. I laminated the sheets and then cut up into days so lower level learners can move the elements around. Higher level learners can work from the whole page sheets as well.

A great set of literacy and numeracy resources based on making appointments. Includes blank and filled appointment sheets, treatment price list (with accompanying questions) and a short writing activity. Ideal for working with money and time. Also involves scanning text.

A substantial booklet providing comprehensive coverage for E1-E3. Includes card matches for sequencing, sorting and matching; six different calendars with questions, and two ‘dates’ activities.

Substantial practice with reading times (to nearest 5 minutes) and then drawing the hands correctly on blank clock faces. Although listed under numeracy this also makes ideal key word reading practice for Entry 1 ESOL.

Provides practice working with time at E3/L1. Use the TV guide to complete the clocks (start and finish times) and calculate the length of each programme.

A topical starter activity for mixed ability groups (E2 – L2). Suitable for classes on or around bonfire night, Chinese New Year and New Year’s Eve. Covers time, problem solving and more.

12 useful blank analogue clock faces (with spaces underneath to write time in digital format) and 2 pages mixed problems (analogue to digital and vice verse). 1 page for E2 (nearest hour, half hour, quarter hour), one for E3 (nearest 5 minutes).

2 sets of cards to laminate. Set 1 (2 lots of 24 cards) covers units of time (E2-L1). Set 2 (30 cards) covers important dates (Christmas Day, etc.) and facts about months and years. To be printed on coloured paper and laminated. With teaching ideas. An ideal multi-sensory starter or revision activity for paired or individual work.
