Every booklet concentrates on math concepts and skills needed in a chosen career.
The OALCF are the guidelines used to establish math concepts and skills at Level 1 and Level 2, as some career paths are more advanced learning of math concepts.

Personal Support Worker-Working with Budgeting: Facilitator’s Guide – Includes answer key and task-based activities
Working as a Personal Support Worker (PSW) is a most rewarding and satisfying career, as you will be assisting with people who are ill, elderly or need help with daily tasks. It is important for a PSW to have a good understanding of math when it comes to assisting clients with budgets (paying bills, buying groceries), setting up schedules for appointments, and keeping track of medications. It is also important they know how to keep track of their own schedule, travel time, and working hours.
