TAP>Work with a range of patterns and functions and solve problems

COURSE PURPOSE

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, they will grow in an insightful use of mathematics in managing the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person. Learners will also develop an understanding of mathematical applications that provide insight into their present and future occupational experiences, enabling them to become contributing workers. Additionally, they will acquire the ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society, allowing them to become participating citizens.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

People credited with this unit standard are able to convert flexibly between and within various representations of functions. They can compare, analyse, and describe the behaviour of patterns and functions. Additionally, they are capable of representing situations mathematically to interpret and solve problems.
