1. CGEA NUMERACY PD August 15 th 2012

2. WHY REVIEW? Response to CGEA mid-cycle review in 2010 Numeracy units at lower levels too big Too many concepts covered Number not explicit enough

3. HOW AND WHO? project reference group comprised of numeracy practitioner experts feedback from practitioner focus group workshop held at the CMM CGEA/ESL PD day three regional public consultations draft units uploaded onto the ACFE website for feedback

4. WHAT? Objectives: Revise the existing nine CGEA Initial Course, Certificate I Introductory and Certificate I numeracy unit Break the existing units at each of these lower three levels into smaller units Make more explicit the role that number plays in the numeracy and mathematics units at these levels

5. WHAT? Modify units to reflect current revisions to the Numeracy component of the revised Australian Core Skills Framework Update the existing elements, performance criteria, range statements, evidence guide, to reflect focus of unit

6. WHAT? CGEA Certificate II and Certificate III Make applicable to all contexts –further education, workplace Modify units to reflect current revisions to the Numeracy component of the revised Australian Core Skills Framework No structural changes to be made Update the existing elements, performance criteria, range statements, evidence guide to reflect reviewed units Strong foundation for a range of pathways

7. WHAT HAS CHANGED? Initial, Certificate I (Introductory) and Certificate I Choose 4 out of 6 units instead of 2 out of 3 for Units broken down into: -Numbers and money -Location and direction -Measurement (including time) -Shape and design -Numerical information -Statistical information

8. WHAT’S CHANGED? Time is now included in measurement Knowledge required in lower units has been increased, particularly in number Content spelt out more resulting in more performance criteria but not necessarily more content First number unit is about using numbers and money (not just money) Second number unit is about extracting and using number from texts Area and angle are included in Certificate I measurement

9. Course in Initial General Education for Adults Previous unitsRevised units VBQU114 Recognise time, money and directions VU20783 Recognise numbers and money in simple, highly familiar situations VU20784 Recognise, give and follow simple and familiar oral directions VBQU115 Recognise measurement and design VU20785 Recognise measurements in simple, highly familiar situations VU20786 Recognise shape and design in simple, highly familiar situations VBQU116 Recognise numerical and statistical information VU20787 Recognise and locate simple numerical information in short, simple highly familiar texts VU20788Recognise and locate numerical information in simple, highly familiar tables and graphs
