Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to use whole numbers into the thousands and simple fractions, decimals and percentages in familiar workplace tasks and texts. It includes identifying and interpreting mathematical information, performing simple mathematical processes and communicating familiar mathematical information.An individual performing these tasks may work with an expert or mentor where support is available, if requested.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 2 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
