Educational and Career links • Ability to handle with confidence the mathematics that occurs in everyday life • Learnerships • Tertiary study: ability to handle math related requirements in social or life sciences
Learning Outcomes • LO 1: Number and operations in context • LO 2: Functional relationships • LO 3: Space, shape and measurement • LO 4: Data handling
LO 1: Number and operations in context The learner is able to use knowledge of numbers and their relationships to investigate a range of different contexts which include financial aspects of personal, business and national issues
LO 2: Functional relationships The learner is able to recognise, describe and represent various functional relationships to solve problems in real and simulated contexts
LO 3: Space, Shape and Measurement The learner is able to measure using appropriate instruments , to estimate and calculate physical quantities and to interpret, describe and represent properties of and relationships between 2D shapes and 3D objects in a variety of orientations and positions.
LO 4: Data Handling The learner is able to collect, summarise, display and analyse data and to apply knowledge of statistical and probability to communicate, justify and critically interrogate findings and draw conclusions
