Numeracy

In Technologies, students develop the capacity to interpret and use mathematical knowledge and skills in a range of real-life situations. They use numbers to calculate, measure and estimate; interpret and draw conclusions from statistics; measure and record throughout the process of generating and iterating ideas; develop, refine and test concepts; and cost and sequence when making products and managing projects. In using software, materials, tools and equipment, students work with the concepts of numbers, geometry, scale, proportion, measurement and volume. They use three-dimensional models, create accurate technical drawings, work with digital models and use computational thinking in decision-making processes when designing and creating best-fit solutions.
