This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to describe and draw everyday objects, including constructing common 3D shapes. It also includes identifying and estimating common angles.

This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 3 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.

Evidence of the ability to:

identify two dimensional shapes in the real world

identify rectangular prisms, cubes, pyramids, spheres and cylinders in the real world

identify 360°, 180°, 90° and 45°

draw 2D shapes and construct 3D shapes from nets.

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:

number of sides or edges, corners or vertices and flat surfaces or faces of common shapes

squares have equal length of sides

rectangles have parallel sides that are equal

spheres have no flat surfaces.

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

Individuals can access own familiar 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.

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
