This unit describes the skills and knowledge to apply and use trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine and tangent), the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule and the area of triangle formula for practical workplace tasks.

This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 5 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. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the Range of Conditions section.
1. Demonstrate knowledge of trigonometry	1.1 Identify features of triangles in workplace tasks 1.2 Identify use of trigonometry in workplace contexts 1.3 Demonstrate understanding of trigonometric ratios
2. Undertake work related calculations using trigonometry	2.1 Use problem solving strategies to undertake the task 2.2 Estimate and use trigonometric ratios to calculate lengths of sides and angles of right angled triangles related to practical workplace tasks 2.3 Undertake trigonometric calculations related to non-right angled triangles
3. Check and communicate results	3.1 Review and check the outcomes against estimate and relate to task and context 3.2 Record the result using mathematical language and symbols appropriate for the task

Evidence of the ability to:

undertake work related tasks involving

calculating side lengths and angle sizes in right-angled triangles

use of the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule

use of the formula for area of a triangle.

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:

names and properties of triangles

trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.

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

Individuals can access a broad range of 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.

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

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.
