FOCUS AREA:
PERFORMANCE FEATURES INCLUDE:
Explicitness of
mathematical information
– Extracts, comprehends and analyses a broad range of relevant mathematical information that
is highly embedded in complex texts and, where necessary, gathers additional mathematical
information from other sources
Complexity of
mathematical information
– Extracts, comprehends and analyses a wide range of mathematical information related to
number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability, including:
• rational and relevant irrational numbers
• selected appropriate concepts and information from specialist areas of mathematics relevant
to personal, study or workplace needs, e.g. trigonometry, statistics, geometry, linear and
non-linear relationships, including parabolas, hyperbolas, circles and exponential functions,
introductory calculus, matrices or vectors
