13
LO 1 Number and operations in context
The learner is able to use knowledge of numbers
and their relationships to investigate a range of
different contexts which include financial
aspects of personal, business and national issues
14
LO 2 Functional relationships
The learner is able to recognise, describe and
represent various functional relationships to
solve problems in real and simulated contexts
15
LO 3 Space, Shape and Measurement
The learner is able to measure using appropriate
instruments , to estimate and calculate physical
quantities and to interpret, describe and
represent properties of and relationships between
2D shapes and 3D objects in a variety of
orientations and positions.
16
LO 4 Data Handling
The learner is able to collect, summarise,
display and analyse data and to apply knowledge
of statistical and probability to communicate,
justify and critically interrogate findings and
draw conclusions
