Students studying at this level of Numeracy will be expected to:
solve problems involving at least one numerical or statistical concept, eg. quantitative and qualitative data, discrete and continuous data, numbers represented by symbols, or a statistical concept such as range
decide which operations are to be carried out to solve a problem, and the order in which to carry them out
carry out a number of sustained calculations or at least one specialised calculation, eg a calculation involving a scientific formula to determine an outcome
interpret information from a single complex graphical form or a series of straightforward related graphical forms
Learners will round answers to an appropriate degree of accuracy, eg two decimal places or three significant figures.
