Understanding and using
mathematical information
At this level, adults can:
read and understand
information given by numbers,
symbols, simple diagrams and
charts in graphical, numerical and
written material
specify and describe
a practical problem or task using
numbers, measures and simple
shapes to record essential information
Calculating and manipulating
mathematical information
At this level, adults can:
generate results
to a given level of accuracy using given
methods and given
checking procedures appropriate to
the specified purpose
use whole numbers and simple
fractions to measure and make
observations
• use space and shape to record simple
information
• use information from lists, tables,
simple diagrams and block
graphs to help understanding
• collect simple numerical information
to help understanding
• follow a given process or routine
