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. Manipulate algebraic terms, leading to the solution of linear equations | 1.1 Position number types on the number line 1.2 Evaluate various numerical expressions involving integers, fractions and indices 1.3 Simplify various algebraic expressions involving integers, fractions and indices |
2. Construct mathematical formulas | 2.1 Solve simple equations 2.2 Convert formulas between standard algebraic form and computer form 2.3 Create several formulas in standard algebraic form and in computer form |
3. Simplify and evaluate Boolean expressions and formulas | 3.1 Simplify and evaluate several Boolean expressions 3.2 Complete truth tables based on simple Boolean expressions and logic 3.3 Simplify and evaluate several formulas |
4. Manipulate number and character representation systems | 4.1 Convert numbers between binary, decimal and hexadecimal number systems 4.2 Add, subtract and multiply numbers in binary 4.3 Determine binary memory storage of an integer and a character |
Evidence of the ability to:
solve and evaluate mathematical problems
use mathematical formulae in standard and computer notation
simplify and evaluate Boolean expressions and formulae
manipulate binary, decimal and hexadecimal number systems.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain Boolean algebra
explain number types
explain binary memory storage
explain the application of mathematical terms and operations in computing
explain the calculation tools available.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the programming and software development industry, and include access to the programming language.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
