Sigma Workbook 'Numeracy Co-requisite’ is a write-on student resource.

This book contains notes and practice questions for the relevant Mathematics skills at curriculum levels 4 and 5 from the Number, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics and Probability strands, in preparation for the NCEA Numeracy co-requisite US32406. In addition to working through this book, students are advised to gain as much experience in real-world maths as they can. Realistic ideas of measurements and the cost of everyday items, strong concepts of time and how to read timetables and maps will help support them on their Numeracy journey. It is worth noting that the Numeracy Co-requisite assessment is not a test of mental arithmetic or speed of calculations, students are able to have a calculator in the assessment and to take as long as they need to complete it. 

A full set of answers is included, which acts as a guide to structuring quality answers. An abbreviated version of the Achievement Criteria and Explanatory Notes of the Achievement Standard itself complete the resource.
