This course is designed for students who want to strengthen their numeracy skills for real-world applications in everyday life and future workplaces. The course emphasizes practical problem-solving, allowing students to see how mathematics is applied in common situations such as personal finance, measurement, data analysis, and workplace tasks. Students will learn to interpret and create graphs and charts to represent data clearly, convert between metric and imperial units in contexts such as cooking, building, and travel, calculate surface area and volume for objects used in trades, packaging, or design, apply trigonometry to real-life right-angle measurement problems such as heights, ramps, and ladders, analyze data using mean, median, and probability to support decision-making, and develop financial literacy skills, including understanding income, deductions, and budgeting.
