VCE Vocational Major – Numeracy

In Numeracy, students use mathematics to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. It develops students’ problem-solving skills and allows them to make sense of the use of mathematical concepts of numbers, time, patterns and shapes for everyday activities like cooking, gardening, sport and travel. We also look at finance, data on current issues and numeracy skills likely to be useful in their chosen workplace. In Numeracy a focus is also placed on an awareness and use of appropriate technologies and mathematical tools. Projects are undertaken for six numeracies: Personal, Civic, Financial, Health, Vocational and Recreational.
