Course Purpose:

This unit standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirements of the NQF at level 4.

What you’ll learn

This unit standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirements of the NQF at level 4. The mathematical literacy requirements’ essential purpose is that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in an insightful use of mathematics in managing 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 become a participating citizen. People credited with this unit standard can measure, estimate, and calculate physical quantities in practical situations relevant to adults with increasing responsibilities in life or the workplace. Explore, analyse, critique, describe, represent, interpret and justify geometrical relationships and conjectures to solve problems in two and three-dimensional geometrical situations.
