Their numeracy skills were clearly evident as they created their own tiling patterns and checked their work carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Learners were also able to discuss, with real assurance, how these skills connect to the world of work \u2014 including the importance of measuring accurately, estimating effectively, and calculating area in practical contexts.
