Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to interpret, comprehend, use problem-solving strategies, and convey mathematical information about measurement in a range of familiar and some less familiar situations.
It requires the ability to make estimations, measure quantities, perform measurement calculations, convert between metric units, use rates, and check and reflect on the outcomes and its appropriateness to the context and task.
The required outcomes described in this unit contribute to the achievement of Australian Core Skills Framework indicators for Numeracy at Level 3: 3.09, 3.10, 3.11. At this level, individuals work independently and use own familiar support resources.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
