The Numeracy Stage 6 Content Endorsed Course is a new course focused on the development and consolidation of core numeracy skills. These skills will be developed through authentic and relevant learning scenarios such as managing living expences, shopping, record and account keeping, and a range of real-life activities requiring numeracy.
This course is appropriate for students who could benefit from further opportunities to develop essential numeracy skills required for everyday life, including work, learning, community engagement and personal contexts. This may include students who are yet to demonstrate achievement of the HSC minimum standard in Numeracy and/or who have struggled to grasp foundational concepts covered in Stage 5 Mathematics.
