 World of Work  Becoming a(n)... Painter  Context Role Activity Product |
Abstract Students can relate to this task based in the construction and skilled craftsworker professions. A flat needs renovating and the amount of material the painter needs for the job must be estimated. The question is posed authentically and it is also relevant and appealing to students. The reasoning behind doing the calculation is immediately clear. The task is well-suited for use in the context of area calculation. It is also underdetermined: Everyday knowledge is used to make assumptions and estimate quantity.
