Numeracy Int 2 - Plain English Version

The descriptor is not an easy thing to understand - even your lecturers take ages to figure it out! Here is an attempt to translate it.

The unit has 3 outcomes

1. Reading tables, charts, graphs and diagrams which will be a bit more difficult than those in Numeracy Int 1. You will then use the information you have gathered to do a problem. e.g. the line graph could have two lines on it and you might have to compare the things on the line graph.
2. You will be given information to present graphically. YOU will have to decide what is the best type of table or graph to use. You might be allowed to use a computer.
3. Problems. You will be given problems to do on a variety of topics e.g. Working out Tax, using simple formulae, working out the mean and standard deviation. etc.

The unit may not be taught in the order above because you need to be able to do some of the things in outcome 3 to be able to do outcome 1 e.g. percentages.
