Numeracy

Students extend and apply their numeracy capability by, for example:

• interpreting and presenting information in numerical and graphical form
• investigating, comparing, and analysing the voting and results process
• examining metrics and key indicators to track political parties, their policies, and leadership approval ratings
• researching and using quantitative and qualitative data to recognise the impact of changing demographics on politics, electoral boundaries, and party loyalties
• exploring and interpreting statistical information to learn the limitations of such interpretations in gaining a holistic view
• representing quantitative data from primary research in order to create graphs and charts that represent potential political outcomes
• interpreting data to make meaning of past and present information (for example, by using digital timelines), to help understand why present political events occurred
• analysing information to predict political results and key trends.
