Numeracy

Students extend and apply their numeracy capability by, for example:

• analysing, interpreting, and presenting information in numerical and graphical form
• investigating, comparing, and analysing polls as drivers of public opinion, and examining metrics and indicators to track the impact of climate change and global economic transformation
• researching and using quantitative and qualitative data in order to recognise the impact of changing demographics on politics, electoral boundaries, and party loyalties
• acknowledging the strengths and limitations of using data when monitoring, interpreting, and analysing political events
• representing quantitative data from primary research in order to create graphs and charts to forecast potential political outcomes
• constructing and interpreting data to make meaning of past and present information using digital timelines, to understand why present political events occurred and to predict future political events.
