I have found that many numeracy students get scared when you mention terms like percentages or fractions. I therefore developed this introductory activity for my new level 1 numeracy students. They are mostly young parents who were disengaged at school and have no mathematics qualifications.
They are usually nervous when they attend the first session so I try to boost their confidence and reassure them that the course will not be like school.
