Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
This video tutorial uses a variety of examples to introduce the concept of averages.
The instructor explains that finding the average, or mean, involves taking a total value and dividing it by the number of units represented by that total. For example, if three students score 90, 85 and 80 respectively on a test, the total value of their marks is 255. To find the average mark, it is necessary to divide the total of 255 by three, the number of students, which shows they had an average score of 85.

Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
This video tutorial gives learners a chance to reinforce their knowledge of averages by trying three progressively more challenging problems. They are asked to pause the video to work out the problems on their own, then restart it to see the instructor’s solutions.
The first problem simply requires the learner to find the average of three numbers. In the third problem, the learner is given the average of three numbers, along with two of those three numbers, and must find the third number.

Build on your talents

Designed for educators, trainers, tradespeople, apprentices and people considering construction careers, this Essential Skills workbook offers exercises that students can use to refresh their math skills. The curriculum-based exercises are built around typical construction workplace tasks.
It includes sections on measuring; dimension and area; elevation and grade; problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem; and weight-load estimation. Each section is independent of the others, which means that learners will not need information from one section to solve problems in another.

10. Casino Math: Essential Skills for the Gaming Industry (2010)
Series: Essential Skills for the Gaming Industry
Authors: Canadian Gaming Centre of Excellence, Judith Hayes, Dayna Hinkel
This workbook is part of a series developed through a two-year project initiated by the Canadian Gaming Centre of Excellence (CGCE), a subsidiary of Manitoba Lotteries. While the project focused on meeting the training needs of Aboriginal or new Canadians, the material could be relevant for any new or potential employees in the gaming industry.
Designed to be used by both learners and teachers, the document is divided into two separate parts. The first section offers a review of the underlying math skills required in most gaming jobs, including working with fractions; counting cash; converting currency; and estimating. For each topic, the authors provide a description of the skill; practice exercises for the learner; and teaching tips.
The second section deals with what the authors call “job families” and contains practice questions organized according to specific kinds of gaming and casino jobs. For example, learners who need to develop skills for calculating odds and payouts specific to table games will find relevant math skills exercises in the “Casino Table Games” section.
The seven workbooks in the series are available for download at this address: http://www.gamingcentreofexcellence.ca/essentialskills/downloadableresources.cfm.
