Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify required calculations
   • Nature of calculation required and items involved are determined
   • Tools required to perform calculations are identified and sourced
2. Apply advanced calculations in workplace tasks
   • Calculations involving fractions, percentages and mixed numbers, using the four basic processes, are performed as required to complete workplace tasks
   • Numerical information is checked and corrected for accuracy
3. Prepare estimates
   • Quantities of materials and resources required to complete work task are estimated and calculated accurately, using fractions, percentages and mixed numbers
   • Accurate estimates for work completion are made using fractions, percentages and mixed numbers
   • Working load limits (WLL) and safe working limits (SWL) of workplace equipment are calculated using advanced calculations
4. Interpret graphical representations of mathematical information
   • Information represented in symbols, diagrams and pictorial representations is recognised
   • Recognised information represented in symbols, diagrams and pictorial representations is interpreted and acted upon

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
