Mathematics Numeracy (National 4)

 

1

Use numerical skills to solve given, straightforward real-life problems involving money/time/measurement by:

1.1

Selecting and using appropriate numerical notation and units

 

·         Numerical notation should include: =, +, –, , /, ÷, <, >, ( ), %, colon and decimal point

·         Units should include:  money (pounds and pence)

time (months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds)

measurement of length (millimetre, centimetre, metre, kilometre, mile);

weight (gram, kilogram); volume (millilitre, litre) and

temperature (Celsius and Fahrenheit)

1.2

Selecting and carrying out calculations

 

·         add and subtract whole numbers including negative numbers

·         multiply whole numbers of any size, with up to four-digit whole numbers

·         divide whole numbers of any size, by a single digit whole number, by 10 or 100

·         round answers to the nearest significant figure or two decimal places

·         find simple percentages and fractions of shapes and quantities

e.g. 50%, 10%, 20% and 25%, 33⅓%; ½, ⅓, ¼, 1/10, 1/5

·         calculate percentage increase and decrease

·         convert equivalences between common fractions, decimal fractions and percentages

·         calculate rate: e.g. miles per hour or number of texts per month

·         calculate distance given speed and time

·         calculate time intervals using the 12- and 24-hour clock

·         calculate volume (cube and cuboid)

·         calculate area (rectangle and square) and perimeter (shapes with straight lines)

·         calculate ratio and direct proportion

1.3

Reading measurements using a straightforward scale on an instrument

 

·         use measuring instruments with straightforward scales to measure length, weight, volume and temperature

·         read scales to the nearest marked, unnumbered division with a functional degree of accuracy

1.4

Interpreting measurements and results of calculations to make decisions

 

·         use appropriate checking methods, eg check sums and estimation

·         interpret results of measurements involving time, length, weight, volume and temperature

·         recognise the inter-relationship between units in the same family mm/cm, cm/m, g/kg, and ml/l

·         use vocabulary associated with measurement to make comparisons for length, weight, volume and temperature

1.5

Explaining decisions based on the results of measurements and calculations

 

·         give reasons for decisions based on the results of calculations

·         Glass Greenhouses ( basic arithmetic)

 

2

Interpret graphical data and situations involving probability to solve given, straightforward real-life

problems involving money/time/measurement by:

2.1

Extracting and interpreting data from at least two different straightforward graphical forms

 

·         a table with at least four categories of information

·         a chart where the values are given or where the scale is obvious, eg pie

·         a graph where the scale is obvious, eg bar, pie, scatter or line graph

·         a diagram, eg stem and leaf, map or plan

2.2

Making and explaining decisions based on the interpretation of data from

straightforward graphical forms

 

 

 

 

·         make decisions based on observations of patterns and trends in data

·         make decisions based on calculations involving data

·         make decisions based on reading scales in straightforward graphical forms

·         offer reasons for the decisions made based on the interpretation of data

2.3

Making and explaining decisions based on probability

 

·         recognise patterns and trends and use these to state the probability of an event happening

·         make predictions and use these predictions to make decisions
