By the numbers....

We have quickly discovered that, the new ladies have lots of holes in their education and this week, we realised that, they lack the basics with numbers.

Today we went back to those basics like, place value and rounding of numbers.

These young ladies all use numbers everyday and yet have not realised how important it is to know to carry out even simple mathematical arithmetic without the use of calculators.

They have only been here just a little under three weeks and are beginning to gain the understanding of numbers. We are winning and moving forward sustainably.

It all adds up to a meal...

The girls now have to pass a maths time table before every meal which is at breakfast, lunch and supper.

We realised this helps them with their tables for day to day activities and they are doing very well each day.

The ladies are thrilled because they are now able to help with all the calculations during aircraft build.
