VCE VM Numeracy Units 3 and 4

TERTIARY & CAREER PATHWAYS:

For students seeking a pathway to indirect university entry, Technical and Further Education (TAFE), apprenticeships / traineeships or employment. 

UNIT 3

In Unit 3 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 their local, community, national and global environments and contexts, and the use and evaluation of appropriate technologies.

These units 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 Units 1 and 2.

Key Skills:

There are four areas of study in Unit 3:

·   Area of Study 1: Number

·   Area of Study 2: Shape

·   Area of Study 3: Quantity and measures

·   Area of Study 4: Relationships.

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.


UNIT 4

In Unit 4 students further develop, enhance and extend their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. Students extend their mathematical skills with consideration of their local, community, national and global environments and contexts, and use of, evaluation and justification of appropriate technologies.

These units 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 Units 1 and 2.

Key Skills:

There are four areas of study for Unit 4:

·   Area of Study 5: Dimension and direction

·   Area of Study 6: Data

·   Area of Study 7: Uncertainty

·   Area of Study 8: Systematics

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.
