Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to identify, interpret, use problem- solving strategies and convey mathematical information about measurement in familiar and predictable situations.
It requires the ability to make estimations, measure quantities and check the reasonableness of processes and outcomes in relation to the context.
The required outcomes described in this unit contribute to the achievement of Australian Core Skills Framework indicators for Numeracy at Level 2: 2.09, 2.10, 2.11. At this level, individuals may work with an expert/mentor where support is available if requested.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
