All the task-based activities in Functional Skillbuilders are based in three workplace
settings - a hotel, a supermarket and a factory. This helps make the activities both real
and relevant to adult and young adult learners. Knowledge about each workplace builds
cumulatively as students progress through the levels. The tasks become increasingly work
specific as students progress through the series. At Entry Level 3 Handling Data tasks
remain straightforward, but become increasingly work focused.
Functional Skills
These activities are task-based and provide teachers with a variety of materials to build
the full range of Functional Maths skills relating to handling data. The first section of the
book explicitly teaches the functional handling data skills required at Entry Level 3.
Students then have 2-3 more opportunities to build and apply these skills in vocational
contexts, allowing the teacher to teach skills, enable practise and to check learning. At
Entry Level 3 students are expected to check the accuracy of their calculations and results.
You should encourage them to do this by getting them to add numbers in a different
order, using inverse calculations and by estimating answers by rounding.
Teaching notes
There are teaching notes for each worksheet. They explain the purpose of each worksheet
and any groundwork that the teacher needs to cover first. The teaching notes include
suggestions for group work, work in pairs and extension work.

Use a scale to extract numerical values.
Many methods of representing data use a scale. Scale is the relation between the real size of
something and its size on a map, model or diagram. You might see or hear these expressions:
aw A scale of 1:20,000.
mw She was making a scale model of a battleship.
m This is a large-scale diagram. (meaning that things are shown in detail).
m The house is shown to scale. (meaning that the exact shape of the house is shown, but
much smaller)
If a scale has been used, it should be written on the chart or diagram
When you get information from a diagram using a scale, you have to work out the ratio of the
actual measurement to the real measurement.
Look at these diagrams. What is the scale of each one? Write your answers in the boxes.

Count numerical information using a tally.
A tally chart is a simple way of collecting data. A tally is a record or count of a number of
items. You record the marks with a downward stroke, like this:
This tally chart shows the responses collected in a survey which asked workers about
their smoking habits. Use the information in the chart to answer the questions.

Record numerical information using a tally. Carry out a survey.
When you collect data using a tally chart you need to be clear about the categories you are
going to count before you start. For example, if you were asked to conduct a five-minute traffic
survey you could categorise the data in several ways:
You could simply count each car with one tally mark:
Number of cars NJ NJ NJ IN |
You could count each type of transport by making tally marks in a chart like this one:
IN | | {I IN |
You could count each type of car and mark it by colour:
You are going to make an observation of other members of your class or group and
record the information in a tally chart. You need to define the categories of
information you are going to record before you start. These could include:

m eye colour

m gender.

A pie chart is a circle split into sectors or slices. Each sector represents a portion of data. Pie
charts are used to show the sizes of parts that make up a whole.
This pie chart shows the results of a survey into the smoking habits of 20 employees in a shop.
You can see that most of the employees (75%) are non-smokers. 25% of the employees are

around the circuit doing two minutes on the lateral pull down, three minutes on the
bicep curl, four minutes on the abductor, five minutes with the hand weights, ten
minutes on the cycle, ten minutes on the rowing machine, and then we'll finish with
a five-minute walk on the treadmill and five minutes of stretches. I'll take you

We'll learn about dealing with shock at 11.30 - this will take about 20 minutes.

Calculate best buys. Create a bar chart.
You can calculate the best buy by working out how much the product costs, like for like.
In this case you need to how much each type of coffee costs per 100 g.
1. Fine Kenyan Ground Coffee (200 g) £2.78
. Price per 100 g=£2./9 +2 = £159
2. Fine Kenyan Ground Coffee (400 g) £5.48
Price per 100 g= £5.48 + 4 aoa Bey
3. Fine Kenyan Ground Coffee (800 g) £10.48
Price per 100 g = £10.48 +8 ees |
So, the cheapest coffee is in the 800 g sized jar.
Use a calculator to work out the cost per 100 g of each of the other types of coffee.
Remember to show your working.
7. Use a separate piece of paper to draw a bar chart to compare the cost per 100g
of each type of coffee.
8. Use a separate piece of paper to draw a single bar chart that compares the cost
per 100 g of each 200 g sized jar of coffee, each 400 g sized jar of coffee and each
800 g sized jar of coffee.

Some of the factory staff are being trained in fire safety. This is what the course instructor said
at the beginning of the training session:
“Welcome everyone. It’s now 1 p.m. We’re going to have a cup of coffee and
register first. Can everyone sign the register and be ready to start training at 1.15,
please. The total training time is two and a half hours. The first thing we will do is
to raise your awareness of fire hazards. That will take about 15 minutes. Then we'll
take a ten-minute walk around the production area of the factory and look at good
housekeeping. When we get back to the training room we will spend the next 25
minutes discussing fire procedures and raising the alarm. We will then carry out an
evacuation procedure. This will take ten minutes.
After the evacuation |’ll show you the different types of fire extinguishers and their
uses. This will take about 45 minutes.
Then we'll have a 15-minute break before we go on to discuss types of fires. This
will take about 20 minutes. Then we will go outside for a hands-on session looking
at the practical use of fire extinguishers with live fire. The training will end at
4 p.m.”
