12. Changing the Way We Teach Math (2006)
A Manual for Teaching Basic Math to Adults
Authors: Kate Nonesuch
This document is a manual for teaching basic math to adults. It was written as part of a project funded by the National Office of Literacy and Learning (NOLL) and is intended for adult basic education math instructors who are interested in changing their teaching practice to bring it more in line with recommendations from the research literature on teaching numeracy to adults.
The manual sets out some "best practices" from the literature, then outlines some difficulties instructors may face in implementing them, and makes suggestions for overcoming those difficulties.
There are also many pages of activities ready for immediate classroom use that provide examples of some ways to implement the best practices.

Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
This video gives learners the chance to become more familiar with decimals, fractions and percent as they relate to the eighths and sixteenths fraction families.
It includes three problems of increasing complexity. Learners are asked to pause the video while they work out the problems on their own, then restart it to see the instructor’s detailed solutions.
The instructor also offers some shortcuts to speed up common calculations. For example, based on earlier instruction, learners already know that one-eighth is equal to 0.125 or 12.5 percent. Therefore, if they need to convert three-eighths into another format, they can simply multiply 0.125 or 12.5 percent by three.

18. Developing Trades Math Worksheets: A Handbook for Construction Trades Instructors (2010)
Authors: Construction Sector Council (CSC)
Based on Essential Skills foundations and developed by experienced training professionals, this workbook is designed to help instructors develop math worksheets for apprentices in technical training settings. Users learn how to incorporate Essential Skills into worksheets that will meet instructional goals and help apprentices to learn essential trades math.
The authors point out that during training and on a work site, apprentices need more than just math skills. They need strong Essential Skills (ES) to succeed in training and on the job. This guide can help instructors learn how to apply ES understanding to the task of making worksheets that meet instructional goals and help apprentices learn trades math more effectively.
