This unit standard will be useful to people who aim to achieve recognition at some level in Further Education and Training or to meet the Fundamental requirement of a wide range of qualifications registered on the National Qualifications Framework. People credited with this unit standard are able to use and analyse computational tools and strategies, and make estimates and approximations. They can demonstrate understanding of numbers and relationships among numbers and number systems, and represent numbers in different ways.
This unit standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirements of the NQF at level 2. The essential purposes of the mathematical literacy requirements are that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in an insightful use of mathematics in the management of the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person. An understanding of mathematical applications that provides insight into the learner's present and future occupational experiences and so develop into a contributing worker. The ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society and so become a participating citizen. People credited with this unit standard are able to estimate, measure and calculate physical quantities in practical situations and explore transformations of two-dimensional geometric figures.
This unit standard introduces learners to the foundational concepts of statistics and probability. It equips them with the ability to collect, organize and interpret data in everyday and work-related contexts.
Learn to identify and work with rational and irrational numbers. This unit provides insight into different number systems and their use in mathematical problem-solving.
This unit develops practical skills in measurement and geometry. Learners will gain competence in estimating and calculating various physical quantities and interpreting 2-dimensional shapes and their properties.
This foundational requirement ensures learners can read, write and communicate clearly in English. Strong literacy supports learning, helps with understanding technical content, and ensures effective participation in agricultural training.
