Plumber: Working with Fractions- Facilitator’s Guide
Preparing Indigenous learners for Apprenticeship and Employment
The booklets are designed for learners entering an apprenticeship program or preparing for the workforce. Learners are encouraged to complete a booklet in a career they are interested in or they could try all the booklets to investigate what careers interest them. 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.

Numeracy at Work: Plumber -Working with Fractions
Facilitator’s Guide
One of the four sacred elements of the earth is water. Indigenous peoples have honoured their relationship with water for hundreds of years through ceremony and stories. Its life-giving and life-saving qualities are recognized as essential to all living things: animal and plant. Without water, every living thing would not be able to survive.
A plumber must know how to measure, whether it is measuring a length of pipe or measuring for a fitting. It is essential that a plumber knows how to attach two pieces of pipe together. Learning about fractions is an important part of math for plumbers.
