Level 4
Individuals performing at this level typically select appropriate strategies from a range of mathematical processes
and apply them in a range of contexts. They extract, interpret and comprehend mathematical information in written
material, tables, diagrams, charts and spreadsheets. They use fractions, decimals and percentages, and apply ratio,
rates and proportion. They interpret and use routine formulae and algebraic representations. They calculate using
positive and negative numbers, and use numbers expressed as roots and powers. They use averages and simple
measures of spread, and interpret information from maps including scales, travel distances, speeds and times.
They calculate and interpret dimensions, quantities and costs, and convert quantities to metric and non-metric
units. They understand and use 2 and 3 dimensional (2D and 3D) shapes and objects, including compound shapes.
They use knowledge about chance and probability to estimate and interpret the outcomes of common chance
events.

Level 3 (Minimum standard)

Individuals performing at this level typically select appropriate strategies from a variety of everyday mathematical
processes in familiar and some less familiar contexts. They interpret and comprehend mathematical information in
written material, diagrams, charts and tables. They use large whole numbers in words and figures, and understand
and convert routine fractions, decimals and percentages, and apply rates. They use and apply order of arithmetical
operations to solve multi-step calculations. They describe, compare and interpret the likelihood of everyday chance
events. They interpret and comprehend dates and time, including 24 hour time. They identify and estimate common
angles, and understand and calculate familiar metric measurements for length, mass, volume, temperature and
simple area. They use scales and keys to read everyday maps and plans. They understand and use common 2 and 3
dimensional (2D and 3D) shapes and objects.

Level 2
Individuals performing at this level typically select appropriate methods with one or two familiar mathematical
steps to solve problems. They identify and interpret simple mathematical information in written material, diagrams,
charts and tables. They use whole numbers into the 1000s and simple everyday fractions, decimals and
percentages. They perform simple calculations to add, subtract, multiply and divide. They identify and interpret
analog and digital times and dates. They identify and interpret simple measures of length, mass, volume and
temperature, and use simple measuring devices. They use knowledge of direction and simple coordinates to read
simple maps and plans. They recognise and use common 2 dimensional (2D) shapes and some common 3
dimensional (3D) shapes and objects.

Level 1
Individuals performing at this level typically locate and recognise mathematical information in simple written
material. They understand place value and recognise and compare whole number amounts into the 100s. They add
and subtract simple whole number amounts and familiar monetary amounts in real-life contexts. They compare
information and data in highly familiar simple texts, lists, tables, charts, diagrams and graphs. They recognise
analog and digital times. They recognise familiar 2 dimensional (2D) shapes and objects. They identify and use
basic measurement tools appropriately. They compare basic metric measurements and quantities such as length
and time. They give and follow simple directions.
