Element 3 - Identify the literacy demands of the training or education programme.

Appendix D.1
Numeracy Scenario: Raranga

A weaving (raranga) tutor teaches students to weave a kete (basket). She explains the importance of checking the number of strands of flax (whenu) which run in opposing directions. It‟s important to have the same number in each direction for the kete to be successful: if there are different numbers, the kete will not close. It is not important whether the number is odd or even: having the same number on each side is what matters. Careful counting and checking has to be done before the final stage. If the numbers are not correct, students will find out the hard way because their kete will not succeed. This critical check involves the first step (up to 20 whenu) or second step (up to 100 whenu) of the Number Sequence learning progression.

Appendix D.2
Jeff works in logging mill with a machine that cuts boards to 3000mm (3 m) lengths. As a quality assurance measure, three boards are measured in the morning and three in the afternoon. The boards are chosen by taking every 10th board from a randomly selected starting point. The average of the 3 boards is checked to make sure the average falls within the tolerance range of 2995 to 3005 mm.

Performance criteria
