N1.1  In interpreting information

N1.2  In carrying out calculations

N1.3  In interpreting results and presenting your findings

N1.1  In interpreting information,

read and understand straight forward tables and charts, diagrams and line graphs;

read and understand numbers used in different ways (e.g. large numbers in figures or words simple fractions, decimals, percentages);

measure in everyday units (e.g. minutes, millimetres, litres, grams, degrees) by reading scales on familiar measuring equipment (e.g. watch, tape measure, measuring jug, weighing scales, thermometer);

make accurate observations (e.g. count number of people or items),

identify suitable calculations to get the results you need for your task.

N1.2  In carrying out calculations,

work to the level of accuracy you have been told to use (e.g. round to the nearest whole unit, nearest 10, two decimal places);

add, subtract, multiply and divide with whole numbers and simple decimals (e.g. two decimal places);

understand and find simple fractions and percentages (e.g. 2/3rds  of £15 is £10, 75% of 400 is 300);

work out areas of rectangular spaces (e.g.  floor area);

work out volumes of rectangular-based shapes (e.g.  a box)

use straight forward scales on diagrams (e.g.  10 mm to 1 mm);

use ratios and proportion (e.g. three parts to one part);

find the average (mean) of up to 10 items (e.g. temperatures, prices, time);

find the range for up to 10 items (e.g. temperature range from highest to lowest was 16 degrees C )

check calculations using different methods (e.g. estimate to reject impossible answers,

check a subtraction by ‘adding back) to make sure they make sense.

N1.3  In interpreting results and presenting your findings,

 use suitable ways of presenting information, including a chart and diagram;

use the correct units (e.g. for area, volume, weight, time temperature);

label your work correctly (e.g. use a title or key);

N1.1  Interpret information

You Must:

Interpret straightforward information from TWO different sources.

At least ONE source should be a table, chart, diagram or line graph.

 i.e. evidence must show you can:

• obtain the information you need to meet the purpose of your task; and

• identify suitable calculations to get the results you need.

N1.2 Carry out calculations

You Must:

Carry out straightforward calculations to do with,

a.  amounts and sizes;

b.  scales and proportion;

c.  handling statistics.

i.e. evidence must show you can:

• carry out calculations to the levels of accuracy you have been given; and
•  check your results make sense.

N1.3   Interpreting results and present findings

You Must:

Interpret the results of your calculations and present your findings.

You must use ONE chart and ONE diagram.

i.e. evidence must show you can:

• choose suitable ways to present your findings;

• present your findings clearly; and

• describe how the results of your calculations meet the purpose of your task

N1.1  Interpret information

A description of your tasks and their purposes.

Copies of source material (such as a table, chart, diagram or line graph).

A statement from an assessor who checked the accuracy of your measurements or observations (if you have done this).

Records of the information you obtained and the types of calculations you identified to get the results you needed.

N1.2 Carry out calculations

Records of your calculations (for a, b, and c) and how you checked them.

N1.3    Interpreting results and present findings

Descriptions of your findings  and how the results of your calculations met the purposes of your tasks.

At least one chart and one diagram presenting your findings.
