• Convert relative information into various mathematical forms (e.g. equations, graphs, diagrams, tables, words).
• Make judgements and draw appropriate conclusions based on the quantitative analysis of data, while recognizing the limits of this analysis.
• Express quantitative evidence to support the argument or purpose of the work (in terms of what evidence is used an how it is formatted, presented and contextualized.)
• Make judgments regarding the appropriateness of a numerical answer.
• Explain information presented in mathematical form (e.g. equations, graphs, diagrams, tables, words).
