Lifeskills Mathematics

Mathematics & Lifeskills Mathematics UASPs Package 1 Unit by Unit assessment – Unit Assessment Support for each individual Unit in a Course, covering all of the Outcomes and Assessment Standards. Package 2 Combined assessment – supports a combined approach to assessment which can be effective for gathering evidence across a number of Units of a Course Package 3 Portfolio – supports a portfolio approach by providing information on judging evidence for assessment covering all Outcomes and Assessment Standards for all the Units in a Course

Mathematics National 4 and 5 Package 1 Is achieved if correct in at least half of the main points of process and accuracy during assessment of all the sub-skills.

Mathematics National 4 and 5 Package 2 The Assessment Standard will be met when the candidate has successfully demonstrated competence in at least half of the sub-skills. A sub-skill has been successfully demonstrated when more than half the points of process and accuracy have been met for that sub-skill.

Mathematics National 4 and 5 Pack 3 The Assessment Standard will be met when the candidate has successfully demonstrated competence in at least half of the sub-skills or is correct in at least half of the points of process and accuracy during assessment of all the sub-skills. A sub-skill has been successfully demonstrated when more than half the points of process and accuracy have been met for that sub-skill.

Mathematics National 4 and 5 #2.1/ 2.2 for all packs This Assessment Standard should be achieved on at least one occasion.

Lifeskills Mathematics National 4 and 5 at least half of the strategy/ process ( if process is applicable) opportunities available in the specific assessment guidelines. AND in at least half of the communication opportunities available in the specific assessment guidelines.

National 4 Added Value Unit Mathematics Reasoning skills These must be demonstrated in at least half of the reasoning opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines. Operational skills These must be applied accurately in at least half of the points of process and accuracy identified in the specific assessment guidelines.

Added Value Unit Lifeskills Mathematics Reasoning skills These must be demonstrated in at least half of the reasoning opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines across the test as a whole. Operational skills Processes must be carried through accurately in at least half of the operational opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines across the test as a whole.
