Numeracy

In this subject, students extend and apply their numeracy capability by, for example:

• communicating ideas to a range of audiences, using appropriate language and representations such as symbols, tables, and graphs
• analysing information displayed in a variety of representations and translating information from one representation to another
• justifying the validity of the findings, using everyday language, when appropriate
• applying skills in estimating and calculating, to solve and model everyday problems using thinking, written, and digital strategies
• interpreting information given in numerical form in diagrams, maps, graphs, and tables
• visualising, identifying, and sorting shapes and objects in the environment
• interpreting patterns and relationships when solving problems
• recognising spatial and geographical features and relationships
• recognising and incorporating statistical information that requires an understanding of the diverse ways in which data are gathered, recorded, and presented.
