How did you learn it? People learn new skills every day, such as how to use the internet, how to record TV shows or how to drive a car. (NOTE: This question is to gather information about HOW the learning occurred, rather than WHAT the learning was about.)

What do you like about learning? Can you talk about how you think you like to learn?

What helps you to learn? People learn in different ways. Some learn best by listening and writing, some from visual aids such as the whiteboard or the TV, some learn by watching and doing. Others like to learn in a group, while some people prefer to learn one-on-one with a support person.

This task covers ACSF Numeracy Levels 2 and 3.

1. A box holds 15 lettuces. At the end of the day the farm crew had filled 86 boxes. How many lettuces is that in total? Show how you worked this out.

2. Diesel costs $1.86 per litre. The tractor’s fuel tank is empty. When full it holds 1200 litres. How much money would it cost to fill up the tractor with fuel? Show how you worked this out.

3. A phone survey asked 300 people the following question:

   Should Australia export live cattle? Answer: Yes or No.

   The results of the survey were Yes 45% No 55%

   a) How many people voted yes? Show how you worked this out.

   b) How many people voted no? Show how you worked this out.

4. It has taken a 20 minute bus ride from home to the station, then a 35 min train ride to the closest station to this office.

   How long have you been travelling?

5. You have to fly into Airport terminal A and then walk to Airport Terminal B to fly out to Sydney. Write out the directions and estimate the distance to walk.

   

6. a. What is the $ value of 5.2 million seals?

   b. How many seals will be culled to make the $20 million in 2000?

   c. Calculate the seals remaining for each decade and complete the table

   Destruction of Harper Seals in Canada in 2000 The Harper seal population in 2000 is 5.2 million with prices for pelts at $50 each. The 12,000 sealers aim to kill enough seals to make $20 million from this season’s cull. The cull (government organised killing) is part of the government’s strategy to maintain seal numbers. Thirty years ago the numbers were vastly different.

   Decadee	1970	1980	1990	2000
   Seal pop	1.5 mill	2.3 mill	3.5 mill	5.2 mill
   Cull limit	150,000	175,000	250,000
