Application
This unit describes the beginning skills and knowledge to identify and undertake extremely short and simple processes with time and shapes. It includes beginning to identify common two dimensional (2D) shapes and time and communicating extremely simple shape and time information.
An individual performing these tasks operates alongside an expert or mentor where significant support, prompting advice and modelling can be provided.
This unit applies to individuals who use, or are preparing to use, numeracy skills to complete workplace activities. This includes existing workers and individuals preparing for employment through vocational education and training. This unit can be integrated and contextualised with vocational training to support achievement of vocational competency.
This unit is aligned to, but does not fully address, the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) numeracy core skill indicators .09, .10 and .11 at pre- level 1 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
