Topic 1: Using numbers and the number system – whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages

Learners at Level 2 are expected to be able to use numbers of any size; read, write and make use of positive and negative integers of any size; use, order and compare integers, fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios as well as recognise the value of a digit in any whole or decimal number. They can use numerical and spatial patterns for a purpose and calculate with, and convert between, numbers written as fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios.

Topic 2: Measures, shape and space

Learners at Level 2 are expected to be able to handle relationships between measurements of various kinds, use angles and coordinates when involving position and direction, make use of geometric properties in calculations with 2-D and 3-D shapes and understand the relationships between them.

Topic 3: Handling information and data

Learners at Level 2 are expected to be able to construct, interpret and evaluate a range of statistical diagrams. They can calculate and interpret probabilities. They can calculate, analyse, compare and interpret appropriate data sets, tables, diagrams and statistical measures such as common averages (mean, median, mode) and spread (range), and use statistics to compare sets of data. They can identify patterns and trends from data as well as recognise simple correlation.

Topic 4: Solving mathematical problems and decision making

Learners at Level 2 are expected to be able to use the knowledge and skills listed in the subject content tables to recognise and obtain a solution or solutions to a complex problem. A complex problem is one which requires a multistep process, typically requiring planning and working through at least 2 connected steps or processes. Individual problems are based on a combination of the knowledge and/or skills from the mathematical content areas (number and the number system; measures, shape and space; information and data). At Level 2 it is expected that the learner will be able to address individual problems, some of which draw upon a combination of all 3 mathematical areas and require learners to make connections between those content areas
