PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
PURPOSE
The essential purposes of the mathematical literacy requirements are that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in:
- An insightful use of mathematics in the management of the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person
- An understanding of mathematical applications that provides insight into the learner `s present and future occupational experiences and so develop into a contributing worker
- The ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society and so become a participating citizen.People credited with this unit standard are able to:
- Convert numbers between the decimal number system and binary number system
- Work with numbers in different ways to express size/magnitude.
- Demonstrate the effect of error in calculations.
LEARNING ASSUMPTIONS
The credit value is based on the assumption that people starting to learn towards this unit standard are competent in Mathematical Literacy and Communications at NQF level 2.
HOW YOU WILL LEARN
The programme methodology includes facilitator presentations, readings, individual activities, group discussions, and skill application exercises.
HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED
This programme has been aligned to registered unit standards. You will be assessed against the outcomes of the unit standards by completing a knowledge assignment that covers the essential embedded knowledge stipulated in the unit standards, and by doing a practical assessment to apply the learning to your work situation. When you are assessed as competent against the unit standards, you will receive a certificate of competence and be awarded 6 credits towards a National Qualification.
