No information
Range description
Calculations may include the use of whole numbers, decimals, fractions and percentages
Typical applications of mathematical concepts in the workplace include but are not limited to measuring product characteristics such as weight, capacity, time and temperature; measuring and estimating material usage, quantities and ratios; measuring equipment and processing parameters such as speed/throughput; calculating entitlements such as pay, leave entitlements, and shift allowances
Conversion charts are those in common use in the workplace
Calculations may be made manually or using calculators and other measuring instruments as appropriate to the task
Results may or may not be recorded
Numerical information may be presented in forms, including simple run charts and graphs

Numerical information may be presented in forms, including simple run charts and graphs
Ability to:
Identify calculation or estimation requirements to meet workplace requirements
Carry out calculations involving basic addition, subtraction, division and multiplication to support work role. This may involve use of a calculator and conversion tables where required.
Use estimation techniques to check calculated results and workplace data
May include ability to:
Record calculations and measurement information accurately as required
Knowledge of:
Mathematical processes including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Application of calculation and estimation techniques to meet work requirements
Units of measurement used in the workplace. This may include use of conversion charts
Representation of numerical information relevant to work requirements. This may include charts, graphs and tables
May include knowledge of:
Recording requirements and responsibilities
Relationship with other standards
Pre-requisite units
There are no pre-requisite units for this competency standard.
Co-assessment of related units
This unit should be assessed together with other units of competence relevant to the function or work role. In addition, the following optional or ancillary unit may be relevant:
FDFOPTSPC2A Apply principles of statistical process control
Resources required for assessment
Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:
Work tasks requiring simple estimation and calculation
Conversion tables, calculators and measuring instruments where required
Workplace forms/documents used for recording data where required
Assessment requirements
For information on how to assess this competency standard and who can assess, refer to the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
