VM NUMERACY

UNITS 1 & 2

In Units 1 and 2 students develop and enhance their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. Students develop mathematical skills with consideration of their local, community, national and global environments and contexts and an awareness and use of appropriate technologies. These units provide students with the fundamental mathematical knowledge, skills, understandings and dispositions to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning and community settings relevant to contemporary society.

Areas of Study

The Areas of Study cover a range of different mathematical knowledge and skills that are expected to be used and applied across the three outcomes. There are eight Areas of Study:

• Area of Study 1: Number

• Area of Study 2: Data

• Area of Study 3: Dimension and direction

• Area of Study 4: Shape

• Area of Study 5: Quantity and measures

• Area of Study 6: Relationships

• Area of Study 7: Uncertainty

• Area of Study 8: Systematics

UNITS 3 & 4

In Units 3 and 4 students further develop and enhance their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public, and vocational lives. Students extend their mathematical skills with consideration of local, community, national and global contexts and an awareness and use of appropriate technologies. Units 3 and 4 provide students with a broad range of mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning, and community settings relevant to contemporary society. The progression of learning is evident in Units 3 and 4 with the development of more complex numeracy and mathematical skills and knowledge, drawing on the knowledge gained from
