Course Content
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.
Assessments
Assessment is coursework based, with learners compiling an Assessment Porfolio comprising a selection of correct answers to a number of set questions.
