Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge to enable learners to develop the basic skills and confidence to perform simple and familiar numeracy tasks.  This involves the recognition, comparison and simple one-step calculations with money, whole numbers and simple everyday fractions, decimals and percentages which are part of the learners’ normal routines and activities such as shopping, recreational activities and routine work related calculations or purchases.  Learners will communicate these mathematical ideas using mainly spoken responses with some written responses.  Learners at this level may request support and begin to develop their own support resources.
