|Catholic Perspectives |School Free Design |

|MacKillop College Bathurst is a Catholic faith community, dedicated to the education of young women. |This is a free design area for schools to add local additional areas. This could include: |

|The Mathematics teachers undertake to uphold the ethos and teachings of the Catholic church and to |Context if you prefer the unit overview and context to be separate |

|Numeracy operates within a variety of social contexts. From a Catholic perspective, numeracy must be |Any specific social and emotional learning which could be embedded into the unit eg enhanced group |

|infused with a vision of the innate dignity of all students, as created in the image and likeness of a|work |

|loving, generous and creating God. Teachers of Mathematics have an obligation to not only teach their | |

|students the skills and knowledge to be numerate, but to teach from a Catholic perspective. Teachers | |

|are called to challenge their students to use the skills and knowledge they have acquired to bring | |

|about social change in the world. | |

|Assessment Overview |

|An investigation to compare different job packages. |

|Quiz on conversion between months, yearly, weekly and fortnightly. |

|A project diary of the pros and cons for various pay options. |

| | |The required skills for this part of the unit were previously studied in Stage 4 unit Fractions, |GENERAL MONEY RESOURCES |

| | |Decimals and Percentages and in Financial Mathematics Stage 4. | |

| | |Proficiency with the following are required |a good general site on money matters for |

| | |competent using calculator |teens |

| | |comfortable with decimals, percentages and operations with money | |

| | |Adjustment: Pre assess students recall of stage 4 content and before proceeding review concepts that | |

| | |are not recalled or understood. Pre assessment make take the form of brainstorming, quizzes e.g. |General site on all money matters. Has case|

| | |Mathletics ,self-grading quizzes using Google docs, and appropriate remediation taken |studies and scenarios |

| | | | |

| | |Stimulate interest and discussion |

| | |Engage students through the discussion of real life examples. A good starting point would be with |=6257176&s_cid=Lead_News_RES |

| | |students’ casual jobs. In additional family members methods of earning income could be discussed. The |list of money based resources |

| | |aim of this discussion is to lead to uses of terminology , various types of incomes and methods of | |

| | |payment | |

| | | | |

| | |ICT | |

| | |The use of spreadsheets throughout this unit of work would be beneficial. Students would need to be | |

| | |able to put appropriate formula in to calculate things like overtime, leave loading, weekly, monthly, | |

| | |annual income etc. Links are provided throughout to promote this. | |

| | |Online device such as instagrok, mind 42, or voki could be used as a method of students demonstrating | |

| | |knowledge | |

| | | | |

| |At the end of this unit the student should be able to: | | |

| | |Student investigation |overtime link |

| | |This investigation should involve students searching out a number of different types of jobs (using |excel/overtime.htm |

| | |classifieds and other online tools) and gathering information about the methods of income. They should | |

| | |then create a pay slip for each of the jobs based on different scenarios e.g. Job 1- 38 hours normal, | |

| | |Job 2 – 35 normal hours, 2 hours at time and a half etc. | |

| |calculate weekly, fortnightly, monthly and yearly earnings |The aim this investigation is to introduce in real life situations some of the terminology involved | |

| | |with different rates of pay. | |

| | |The mathematical calculations need to be reinforced through repetition and practice | |

| | | | |

| | |Adjustment: For lower ability students the job information may be supplied and methods of calculation | |

| | |scaffolded. | |

| | | | |

| | |Students will need to undertake extensive practice with calculating income and be able to work | |

| | |backwards as well. | |

| | | | |

| | |Assessment : Through a quiz establish whether students are competent with conversion between units of | |
