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. Estimate and make measurements for work | 1.1 Extract and interpret measurement information embedded in workplace texts and tasks 1.2 Identify and select appropriate workplace measuring equipment 1.3 Estimate and make accurate measurements |
2. Undertake mathematical calculations involving measurement | 2.1 Calculate the area of 2D shapes including compound shapes 2.2 Calculate the volume of 3D shapes using relevant formulas 2.3 Calculate sides of right angled triangles using Pythagoras’ theorem 2.4 Perform conversions between units of measurement 2.5 Use problem solving processes to undertake the task |
3. Check and communicate results | 3.1 Review and check the measurement outcomes 3.2 Record the information using mathematical language and symbols appropriate for the task |
Evidence of the ability to:
make accurate measurements
calculate area and volume of shapes including compound shapes
calculate sides of triangles using Pythagoras’ theorem
make conversions between units.
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:
units of measurement for specific workplace tasks
names and basic properties of a range of 2D and 3D shapes
Pythagoras’ theorem.
Assessment texts and tasks reflect those typically found in the workplace.
Individuals can access a range of established support resources.
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.
