Course description

Students studying at this level of Numeracy will be expected to:

solve problems involving at least one numerical or statistical concept, eg. quantitative and qualitative data, discrete and continuous data, numbers represented by symbols, or a statistical concept such as range

decide which operations are to be carried out to solve a problem, and the order in which to carry them out

carry out a number of sustained calculations or at least one specialised calculation, eg a calculation involving a scientific formula to determine an outcome

interpret information from a single complex graphical form or a series of straightforward related graphical forms

Learners will round answers to an appropriate degree of accuracy, eg two decimal places or three significant figures.

This Unit seeks to develop skills of interpretation and communication of graphical information and application of a wide range of numerical skills in everyday and straightforward, generalised contexts.

Numeracy at SCQF level 5 is about applying numerical skills in personal, workplace, social, and educational situations that involve graphical information, calculations, and solving problems. At this level, learners must understand tables, graphs, charts, and diagrams; communicate information graphically; and apply a wide range of numerical skills.
