Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to use a range of algebraic and graphical techniques to analyse and solve mathematical problems. It includes extracting and analysing mathematical information, analysing and solving equations, and communicating the mathematical information.An individual performing these tasks works autonomously and accesses and evaluates support from a broad range of sources as needed.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, at the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) numeracy core skill indicators .09, .10 and .11 at level 5 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Extract and analyse mathematical information
- 1.1 Extract highly embedded algebraic and mathematical information from a broad range of highly complex workplace texts and tasks
- 1.2 Analyse algebraic and mathematical information required to complete workplace task
- 1.3 Incorporate information from other sources to inform and support analysis of the extracted information, where necessary
2. Analyse and solve equations for workplace tasks
- 2.1 Select method of solution from an expanded range of highly developed mathematical problem solving strategies and processes to complete workplace task
- 2.2 Estimate outcome of analysis related to using specialised mathematical problem solving strategies and processes to complete workplace task
- 2.3 Solve workplace problems using graphical methods to find solutions to linear and non-linear equations
- 2.4 Solve workplace problems using algebraic processes to find solutions to linear and non-linear equations
- 2.5 Check outcomes and critically review mathematics used and real-world implications of results using developed estimation and evaluation techniques
3. Communicate mathematical information
- 3.1 Use formal and specialised written mathematical representation and symbolism to document, interpret and communicate mathematical thinking, problem solving process, outcomes and implications
- 3.2 Use specialised mathematical and general language to discuss, explain and interpret the mathematical processes, results and implications
