Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge to extract, comprehend, analyse, use problem-solving strategies and convey mathematical information in specialised situations relevant to number and algebra. It requires the ability to make estimations, organise and represent mathematical information, select and use mathematical processes, and critically review the mathematics used and the outcomes relative to real- world implications.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • apply mathematical concepts and methods related to number and algebra within and across contexts.
  • work autonomously accessing and evaluating support from a broad range of sources.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • real-world relevance of number and algebra in specialised situations
  • number and algebra problem solving and estimation methods
  • mathematical symbols, representations and conventions related to number and algebra
  • specialised language related to number and algebra in real life in specialised situations.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by Victoria University and/or via the Victoria University e-learning system.
