This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to measure familiar and predictable quantities using simple and routine measuring instruments and units.

This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 2 to undertake a vocational training pathway or workplace tasks.

This unit is designed for integration and contextualisation with vocational units to support achievement of vocational competency.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element	Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Identify and interpret simple mathematical information	1.1 Identify and interpret measurement information in workplace tasks and texts 1.2 Identify familiar units of measurement needed for tasks
2. Apply simple measurement strategies	2.1 Estimate familiar and simple amounts 2.2 Select appropriate measuring equipment 2.3 Use simple measuring equipment graduated in familiar units to measure relevant quantities 2.4 Calculate using familiar units of measurement
3. Check and communicate results	3.1 Check measurements and results against estimates 3.2 Record or report results 3.3 Communicate results relevant to the workplace task using informal and some formal mathematical and general language

Evidence of the ability to:

estimate and measure familiar simple amounts

interpret measurement on simple measuring equipment

add, subtract and multiply simple measurements

record results using appropriate unit.

Note: Where a specific volume and/or frequency is not specified, evidence must be provided at least once.

Evidence of the following knowledge must be demonstrated:

abbreviations of familiar units of measurement

which units of measurement to use for length, mass and capacity.

Assessment texts and tasks reflect those typically found in the workplace.

Advice and support is available if requested.

A basic calculator can be used.

Culturally appropriate processes and techniques suited to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of individuals and the work being performed must be used.

Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements, have a sound knowledge of the ACSF and have demonstrable expertise in the vocational contextualisation and assessment of the core skill - numeracy.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
