Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to solve problems and calculate with rates, ratios and proportions. It includes extracting and interpreting ratio, rate and proportional information, applying problem solving processes to complete workplace tasks, and communicating workplace mathematical information.An individual performing these tasks works independently and uses support from a range of established resources.This unit applies to individuals who use, or are preparing to use, numeracy skills to complete workplace activities. This includes existing workers and individuals preparing for employment through vocational education and training. This unit should be integrated and contextualised with vocational training to support achievement of vocational competency.This unit is aligned to, but does not fully address, the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) numeracy core skill indicators .09, .10 and .11 at level 4 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
