CHAPTER 3: NUMERACY SKILLS/DEMONSTRATE NUMERACY SKILLS

3.1 Introduction
Demonstrate numeracy skills unit of competency is among the seven basic competencies offered in
all the TVET level 6 qualification. The unit covers the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to
effectivelly use numeracy skills by a worker inorder to apply a wide range of mathematical
calculations for work, apply ratios, rates and propotions to solve problems in real life situatins. It
entails identifying and using of geometry to draw and construct 2D and 3D shapes for work; collect,
organize, present and interprate statistical data to help make decisions at the work place. The
significance of numeracy skills to TVET level 6 curriculum is to develop logical thinking and
reasoning strategies, in day today activities, in solving problems and making sense of numbers.

The critical aspects of competencies to be covered includes mathematical calculation for work,
applying ratios through use of detailed maps to plan travel routes for work, geometry to draw and
construct 2D and 3D shapes, collect, organize and interpret statistical data and also the use
scientific calculators. The basic resources required include; calculators, rulers, pencils, graph books
and dice. The unit of competency covers eight learning outcomes. Each of the learning outcome
presents; learning activities that covers performance criteria statements, thus creating an
opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skills in the occupational standards and contents in
the curriculum.
Information sheet provides; defination of key terms, content and illustrations to guide in
training. The competency may be assessed through written tests, demonstration, practical
asignment and case study. Self assessment is provided at the end of each learning outcomes.

3.2 Performance Standard


Apply a wide range of mathematical calculations, use and apply ratios, rates and proportions,
estimate, use detailed maps to plan travel routes, use geometry to draw 2D shapes and construct
3D shapes, collect, organize, and interpret statistical data and use routine formula tasks in
accordance to workplace tasks and texts and mathematical language.

3.3 Learning Outcomes


3.3.1 List of learning outcomes
a) Apply a wide range of mathematic calculations for work
