Unit 1 Overview

In Unit 1 students will develop their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. 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.

Problem-solving cycle

On completion of this unit, the student should be able to select, interpret and use the four stages of the mathematical problem-solving cycle, using a range of both informal and formal mathematical processes, representations, and conventions relevant to the mathematical key knowledge and key skills specified in the Areas of Study 1-4, and across the chosen range of numeracies. The purpose of Outcome 2 is to enable students to develop their everyday numeracy skills and practices in order to make sense of their daily personal, civic and vocational lives. Students need to develop the skills and capabilities to be able to problem-solve, and to use their skills to investigate and solve a problem where the mathematics is embedded within a real-world context. Outcome 2 describes and outlines a problem-solving cycle that supports students to become more capable problem solvers, and to use their mathematical skills successfully to become numerate individuals within the community and in their selected vocations.
