This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

People credited with this unit standard are able to recognise, identify, describe, generate, complete and extend numeric, geometric and other patterns in various contexts.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The following competencies at ABET Numeracy level 3 are assumed to be in place:

Work with number patterns and relationships involving multiples, factors, even numbers, odd numbers and prime numbers.

Describe, draw, analyse and construct planar shapes and patterns and spatial objects and describe, interpret and represent the environment geometrically.

UNIT STANDARD OUTCOME HEADER

Recognise, identify and describe patterns in vario

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Recognise, identify and describe patterns in various contexts.

OUTCOME RANGE

Numeric, geometric, patterns from a variety of contexts.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

1. Patterns are recognised in terms of the relationship between the elements of the pattern.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

2. Patterns are correctly identified in terms of the relationship between the elements of the pattern.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

3. Patterns are correctly described in terms of the relationship between the elements of the pattern and remain consistent through the pattern.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

4. The language of comparison is appropriate and describes the relationship between the elements of the pattern.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Complete, extend and generate patterns in a variety of contexts.

OUTCOME RANGE

Numeric, geometric, patterns from a variety of contexts.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

1. Completed patterns are internally consistent with respect to the relationship between elements of the pattern.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

2. The extension is consistent with respect to the relationship between elements of the pattern.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

3. Generated patterns are internally consistent.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Devise processes for a general rule.

OUTCOME RANGE

Processes include: systematic counting, sequencing numbers, tables, drawings, pictures, classification, organised lists, mathematical and models such as graphs.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

1. Appropriate processes are devised according to the context.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

2. Processes have potential to lead to a general rule.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

3. A general rule is devised such that it is consistent with the relationship of the elements of the patterns.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4

Represent patterns using different generalised mathematical forms.

OUTCOME RANGE

Graphs, formulae, expressions and other rules for expressing patterns.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

1. Appropriate mathematical forms are used to represent patterns.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

2. The representation is consistent with relationships within the pattern and represents the pattern completely.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

3. Conversions are made between various forms of representations.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

4. Relationships between various possible forms of representations are described.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 5

Use general rules to generate patterns.

OUTCOME RANGE

Processes include: systematic counting, sequencing numbers, tables, drawings, pictures, classification, organised lists, mathematical models such as graphs.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

1. Patterns generated are consistent with the general rule.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

2. Patterns are generated to the extent that they enable the rule to be devised from the pattern.

Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO):

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
