Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to extract, comprehend, analyse, use problem-solving strategies and convey mathematical information in specialised situations relevant to number and algebra.
It requires the ability to make estimations, organise and represent mathematical information, select and use mathematical processes, and critically review the mathematics used and the outcomes relative to real- world implications.
The required outcomes described in this unit contribute to the achievement of Australian Core Skills Framework indicators for Numeracy at Level 5: 5.09, 5.10, 5.11. At this level, individuals work independently and use support from a range of established resources.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
