IndicatorsCalculating Numbers and Number Systems

Knowledge and Skills Working Mathematically Knowledge and Skills Working Mathematically

• use automatic recall of

decimal and percentage

equivalents of common

fractions to calculate the

percentage of a quantity,

eg calculate 30%

discount of the

recommended price of agood or service

• calculate simple yearly

interest on a loan and

use tables or technology

to calculate compound

interest

• convert units in order to

compare rates, eg km/hto m/s; annual interest

rate of 6% is 0.5% per

month; calculate how

many km/litre given a

fuel consumption of

7.6litres/100km

interest; calculate earnings

considering gross pay;

deductions and net pay• compare daily/monthly

interest rates on a small loan

including repayment

schedules, different

bank accounts and charges

solve problems,

eg apply order of operationand appropriately truncate

or round calculator displays

requiring conversion of

units, eg determine the

velocity of an object in

metres per second when

given the distance in

kilometres

• when estimating,

justify reasoning

whether to round

up or down based on

the context
