In Unit 3 students further develop and enhance their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. Students extend their mathematical skills with consideration of their local, community, national and global environments and contexts, and the use and evaluation of appropriate technologies. These units provide students with a broad range of mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding 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 learn to recognise and name a range of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects. They classify, manipulate, represent and construct a range of simple and compound shapes in diagrammatical and concrete forms. Students also become familiar with the different characteristics and properties used in classifying shapes.
