Identify, describe, compare, classify, explore shape and motion in 2-and 3-dimensional shapes in different contexts

ABOUT COURSE
This unit standard is designed to provide credits towards the mathematical literacy requirements of the NQF at level 2. The essential purposes of the mathematical literacy requirements are that, as the learner progresses with confidence through the levels, the learner will grow in:

• An insightful use of mathematics in the management of the needs of everyday living to become a self-managing person.
• An understanding of mathematical applications that provides insight into the learner`s present and future occupational experiences and so develop into a contributing worker.
• The ability to voice a critical sensitivity to the role of mathematics in a democratic society and so become a participating citizen.

OUTCOMES OF THE WORKSHOP
People credited with this unit standard are able to:

• Estimate, measure and calculate physical quantities in practical situations.
• Explore transformations of two dimensional geometric figures.

REQUIREMENTS
That people starting to learn towards this unit standard are competent in Mathematics and Communications at NQF level 1.
