Work Keys/KeyTrainLevel 3-BronzeApplied MathematicsApplied mathematics is the skill of applying mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques to workplace situations.Level 3This level is mostly one-step mathematical operations. These problems contain only information needed to solve the problem.The concepts covered are:Quantities (numbers of specific items)Money TimeMeasurementFractions/Decimals/PercentagesPositive & Negative NumbersMathematical Knowledge Needed:Basic Word Problem Set UpRead the word problem carefullyWhat is the problem asking? Use “clue” words to helpWhat are the factsSet up and solve the problemCheck your answerHow To Use A CalculatorMastery of basic addition facts Adding one to five digit numbersMastery of basic subtraction factsSubtract with/without borrowing up to five digitsMastery of basic multiplication/division factsSingle numbers to three digit numbers, division with remaindersRounding and Estimating Round to nearest 10, 100, 1000 and whole numberEstimate answersRecognize common symbols (+, -, x, $, %)Know and convert units of time ,money, measurement (one step conversions)Coins, bills and there valuesMake changeWord problems using money Time measurements (second, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, AM/PMTell time on analog clockAdding and subtracting timeWord problems using time (including elapsed time)Length/Width (foot, yard, mile, meter, centimeter, and kilometer (words and symbols))“reasonable” lengthWhat unit of measurement would be used?Convert units of measure*See conversion/formula chartFractions, Decimals and PercentagesConvert numbers between the formsPositive & Negative NumbersAdding and subtracting positive & negative numbers**Clues to which operation to use:Clues to AddClues to SubtractClues to MultiplyClues to DivideSumChangeHow many in allHow many in eachTotalRemainingTotalPerHow manyDecreaseDoubleDivide equallyAltogetherDifferenceProductIncreaseHow many lessTwice GainHow many leftTripleHow many moreLoss Work Keys/KeyTrainLevel 3-BronzeLocating InformationLocating information involves reading and interpreting graphics that are commonly found in the workplace. These graphics include pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, tables, forms, maps, plans (layouts) and gaugesLevel 3This level works with one simple graphic and only one or two pieces of information. These will be clear, simple documents with very little distracting information. (These problems insert or extract information from the graphs to solve the problem).The concepts covered are:Pie chartsBar graphsLine graphsTables and formsMaps and plansDiagramsGauges and dialsKnowledge Needed:Use Alphabetical Order (to the 2nd letter)Understand The Meaning Of The Words:Like, only, both, first, and afterNorth, south, east, west, right, left, under, over, besideRead a graphic & parts of a graph or chart:Determine the type of graphicRead the title and any subtitles (and know where they are located)Read the labels, captions, legends or keys (know where they are located)Determine the purpose of the graphRead any text that may come before or after the graphicBar Graphs (compares amounts)Create a bar graphMake comparisons using a bar graphUse keys or legendsLine Graphs (shows how two numbers are related)Read a line graph:Choose a number on either axis that matches the information to be readMove from that point straight up or straight over until the line in the graph is reachedMove straight toward the other axis and read the corresponding pointCreate a line graphTables (group of related lists) & Forms (obtain information)Areas on applications, checks, deposit slipsMaps & Plans (show how things are arranged)Parts of a map (title, legend, scale, grid, compass)Diagrams (show the arrangement and relationship of parts of things, show how something works)Organizational chartsFlowchartsDials & Gauges (show the current condition of some type of changing information)Read analog and digital gaugesRead thermometersWork Keys/KeyTrainLevel 3-BronzeReading for InformationThis sections focus is on reading different types of documents, generally items such as letters, instructions or announcements. The purpose of these documents is to provide you with information.Level 3This level explores the building blocks of documents you find/use every day.The concepts covered are:Identify the main idea and simple detailsIdentify the meanings of words that are defined within the passageRecognize the meaning of words that are not defined in the passageDetermine the proper placement of a step in a sequence of events or the proper time to perform each step of a taskApply instructions outlined in the passage to situations that are described in the passageKnowledge Needed:Recognize the mean of wordsContext clues-definition in the sentenceContext clues-oppositesContext clues-surrounding sentencesAble to find informationLook for details (who, what, where and when)Application, memos, in paragraphsAble to follow directionsKnow key words (first, next, then, following, lastly)Able to reading forms and Table of ContentsRead each category and label carefullyApplications, checks, deposit slips, vouchersAble to find detailsKnow information words (who, what, where, when, why, how)Find detail in a paragraphs, memos, notices, recipes, announcements and formsMake connections from one sentence to anotherUse pronouns correctlyUnderstand what the words it: she, that, this are referring toIdentifying topics and main ideasSeparate facts from opinionsIdentify the main idea in paragraphs:Identify the topic or main point of each paragraph, thenDecide what the paragraph says about the topic ................
