They will develop mathematical skills with consideration of their local, community, national and global environments and contexts, and an awareness and use of appropriate technologies. These units provide students with the fundamental mathematical knowledge, skills, understandings and dispositions to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning and community settings relevant to contemporary society.
In this area of study students will develop an understanding of routine and familiar metric quantities and their units of measurement applied to single- and multi-step measurement tasks.
