Assessment Task 1 (30%) – Personal Numeracy File
Part A - Statistical literacy /Maths in context
Here is an example of contextualised mathematics: State of the Nation Report
1. Use statistics from the article (Argoon, Goldsmith & Steger, 2019) to:
* discuss some important aspects of current Australian society; and
* discuss some significant changes which have taken place in Australian society; and
* draw an accurate statistical graph to illustrate one of the topics you discussed.
2. Explain the statistical term “median” within the context in which it appears in the article and identify where
the term appears in the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and
Reporting Authority {ACARA], n. d.).
3. Use information from the article to write a brief comparison of Australian men and women.

Part B – Mathematical Photographs
Compile a set of three photographs of ‘mathematical’ subjects where the photographs are suitable teaching resources for a primary school class.
One photograph must be on the topic of Measurement. It must be accompanied by a caption of up to 100 words of discussion prompts. Specify the year level of the class for which you have prepared the photograph and discussion prompts and quote the relevant curriculum content description and code.
One photograph must be on the topic of Geometry. It must be accompanied by a caption of up to 100 words of discussion prompts. Specify the year level of the class for which you have prepared the photograph and discussion prompts and quote the relevant curriculum content description and code.
One photograph must be on the topic of Statistics / Probability. It must be accompanied by a caption of up to 100 words of discussion prompts. Specify the year level of the class for which you have prepared the photograph and discussion prompts and quote the relevant curriculum content description and code. The photographs might include buildings, crowds, scenes, advertising, traffic or any other real-life context where some mathematical ideas are relevant. The photographs must be taken by you yourself.
Photographs of photographs, pages of textbooks or similar existing images are not to be used. Staged photographs (scenes constructed for the photograph) nor photographs of teaching resources (if a teacher could use the actual resources instead) are also not to be used.
Word Count – 100 words per photograph plus or minus 10%
Part C – Algorithmic Thinking Task
In order to keep the length of your text messages to a minimum, you use these three rules:
* remove all spaces;
* remove all vowels (a, e, i, o, u);
* replace double letters with single letters.
For example, the message good afternoon would be sent as gdftrn
The message may be difficult to decipher, but there has been a saving of 8 characters, 57.14%.
1. How many characters do you save – and what is the percentage saving – by applying the three rules to this message: Your chance of winning a fair game is fifty percent
2. Devise a short message (five to ten words) where the same three rules will save a high proportion of the characters. Explain the strategies you used to devise the message. Give the number of characters saved and the saving as a percentage, showing working. Explain how you attempted both parts of the algorithmic thinking task and how you felt about it. Comment on how the task may relate to the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics (ACARA, n. d.), especially the Proficiency Strands. (Modified from the Australian Informatics Competition, 2008) Word Count – 500 words plus or minus 10%. This includes your short message. APA 6th edition style is required. Marks are given for presentation which incorporates correct prose and suitable citation. Reputable academic sources are provided in the Unit resources. Unattributed copying of the words or ideas of other people is unacceptable.
