Functional Skills: Mathematics Level 1 Sample Lesson Plan: Decimals and Percentages Duration: 1.

25 ours Lesson aims:

Learners to understand and use common fractions, decimals and percentages.

Speci!ic learning outcomes:

Students ill !e a!le to: "nderstand and use fractions, decimals and percentages. "nderstand and use e#uivalences. $ppl% fractions, decimals and percentages in practical situations. &'tract and interpret information from ta!les, diagrams and charts

"ssessment method#s$:
(roup activities )uestion * $ns er during the session.. Learner engagement during session. +orksheet

Linked Functional Skills:

Speaking, listening and communicating: Students participate in discussions during the session, ho the% articulate ans ers and communicate ith other learners.

Previous kno%ledge assumed:

"nderstand and use hole num!ers in practical conte'ts. $dd, su!tract, multipl% and divide hole num!ers using a range of strategies.

Materials and e&uipment re&uired:

'eacher "ctivit,
(ive each student a segment card. $sk them to estimate the fraction of a hole circle that the card represents. +hen the% have done this, ask them to link ith others in the class ho have the same segments and create a circle shape. 1his ill determine if their estimation is correct.

Student "ctivit,
&stimate a fraction of a hole circle -represented !% their card/. Link ith others in the class ho have the same segments. Place them in a circle to vie the hole.

1he sets of fragments are 2, 3 and 4. Depending on the num!er of students in the class, some sets ill have to !e dou!led e.g. for a class of 56 students t o of set 2. one of set 3 and 1 of set 4 ould provide 56 segments.

Define fractions, decimals and percentages and ho the% are linked.

Listen and ask #uestions

Fractions, decimals and percentages are all proportions7 so a clear understanding of hat the term proportion means is a good starting point. (uidance.help needed for some groups. <f the% start ith the ones the% are certain of, then moving to others can !e a logical process. <t is useful to encourage them to learn and remem!er the simple conversions e.g. 1.4=15.2> or 1.2=50> etc.
