Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims after mathematics 1P-Y for Restaurant and Food Processing
The pupil is expected to be able to
- evaluate choices related to personal finances and reflect on the consequences of taking out loans and using credit cards
- interpret and use formulas related to everyday life and working life
- interpret and use compound units of measurement in practical contexts and choose suitable units of measurement
- collect data from the practice field, make estimates and do calculations, and prepare suitable representations of these results, and present them
- read, use and create spreadsheets when working with budgets, bids and cost calculations related to Restaurant and Food Processing, and evaluate how different factors affect the result
- interpret and do calculations on nutritional and energy content, and convert between different compound units related to Restaurant and Food Processing
Formative assessment
Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in mathematics 1P-Y for Restaurant and Food Processing. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in the subject when they use mathematical concepts in communication, and when they find, understand and use mathematical relationships. The pupils also demonstrate and develop competence when they work in a practical and explorative way by planning, carrying out and presenting work related to working life and society. The pupils also demonstrate and develop their competence when they make and explore mathematical models, using mathematical methods and reasoning.
The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate the desire to learn by allowing the pupils to explore mathematics and solve mathematical problems by reasoning, arguing and modelling. The teacher and the pupils shall engage in dialogue about their development in strategies for solving problems. The pupils shall have the opportunity to try and fail. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved and reflect on their development in the subject. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt the teaching to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in discovering relationships between mathematics and practical applications.
Assessment of coursework
The grade awarded for coursework shall reflect the overall mathematical competence of the pupil after completing mathematics 1P-Y for Restaurant and Food Processing. The teacher shall plan and facilitate for the opportunity for pupils to demonstrate their competence in different ways, including through understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and in different contexts. The teacher shall award one grade in mathematics based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated in writing, orally and digitally, by using mathematical forms of expression, using problem solving strategies and reflecting on and arguing for solutions and models.
