Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
This video tutorial introduces the concept of perimeter, the distance around an object. The instructor notes that while any object has a perimeter, he is limiting this tutorial to triangles, circles and rectangles.
For the triangle and rectangle, he simply uses a ruler to measure the length of the sides, then adds those figures together to come up with the perimeter.
However, measuring the perimeter of a circle poses a challenge. The instructor explains that the perimeter of a circle is also called its circumference and can be calculated by multiplying its diameter by pi, usually given as 3.14.

This video introduces the concept of area, which the instructor explains is simply the amount of surface an object covers.
He focuses primarily on right-angle triangles, rectangles and circles, calculating the area for one example of each of those shapes.
He points out that in order to calculate the areas of those shapes, it is essential to know and remember the necessary equations.

Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
This video tutorial provides an introduction to the concept of volume in geometry. The instructor explains that volume is the amount of space an object takes up. For example, the amount of space available for storage inside a box is the volume of that box.
Volume is always measured in cubic units and involves calculations that include the three dimensions of length, width and height.
To illustrate the concept, the instructor uses various calculations based on the hypothetical case of a manufacturer who must figure out the size of the boxes he will need to ship his products.

38. Giving Back: Volunteering For Work Experience - Instructor's Notes (2005)
Series: Giving Back Program
Authors: Waterloo Catholic District School Board
This document is used in conjunction with a student manual. Both are part of a 12-week program intended to help Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) learners prepare to do volunteer work as a way to develop job skills and gain work experience.
The instructor’s notes include answers to the quizzes contained in the students’ document. There are also guidelines for evaluating responses to open-ended questions.
The authors have also included suggestions for finding guest speakers and tips for helping students assess themselves accurately.
There is also a sheet where the instructor can record learners’ attendance.

39. Giving Back: Volunteering For Work Experience - Students' Notes (2005)
Series: Giving Back Program
Authors: Waterloo Catholic District School Board
This document is part of a 12-week program designed to help Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) learners prepare to do volunteer work as a way to develop skills and gain experience that could be applied in the workforce or used to help them gain greater personal independence.
The material is divided into five units, with the first unit focused on explaining what will be expected of the learners during the program; encouraging participants get to know each other; and helping learners discover more about themselves and their goals.
Other units explore the nature of volunteerism; how to deal with potential obstacles; setting goals; and filling out applications. There are vocabulary lists for all sessions, as well as quizzes and materials for self-assessment.
The authors have also included scenarios that illustrate the principles being taught. For instance, learners are introduced to one young man who wants to open a pet-grooming business but must first deal with the gaps in his skills and experience.
There is a corresponding document for the program instructor.

40. Health and Hard Times (1996)
Book 5
Series: Newfoundland and Labrador Adult Basic Education Social History Series
Authors: Writers' Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador, Cabot College Literacy Office
This essay is the fifth in the Newfoundland and Labrador Adult Basic Education Social History Series, developed to provide adult learners with meaningful literacy materials drawn from their own vibrant culture. The intended audience for the series is ABE Level 1 students. Because of the disparate subject matter, however, the essays are written in varying degrees of reading difficulty.
The essays were created by five professional writers: Ed Kavanagh, Carmelita McGrath, Janet McNaughton, Kathryn Welbourn and Kathleen Winter.
At the end of each essay, supplemental material is included, such as topics and questions for discussion, and possible projects and other suggested learning activities related to the essay.
