  1. World of work How do tasks bring the world of work into the classroom? Tool WC-1: Connectingtasks with the world of work

  2. Overview Aims: To explore the different ways in which tasks can connect mathematics to the world of work. We will: • discuss the tasks as a group; • view a short video; • place tasks into categories; • share reflections as a group.

  3. Tasks for discussion • Emergency Calls • Telecommunication • Entrance matting • Container logistics • ChocChip Mining

  4. Making connections to the world of work • How do these tasks connect learning mathematics to the world of work? • Video clip: a discussion about these tasks.

  5. Placing the tasks into categories Place the tasks into categories. • Do workers really use mathematics and science in the way suggested by the task? • When doing the mathematics or science could students forget about the context? • Is mathematics or science being used in any different ways?

  6. Finishing off • Share the main points • Compare the categories discussed in your small groups
