Aarnout Brombacher has contributed both as materials developer and project manager of a team of materials developers to a process that resulted in the production of a set of resources for some of the sector-alligned Unit Standards based qualifications offered by colleges such as: Haircare, Business Administration, Hospitality and Early Childhood Development.  Although these materials were not written expressly for the NC(V) Mathematical Literacy and/or NCS Subject Statements, they should nonetheless be very helpful to lecturers and teachers looking for resources.  These resources are available are in the public domain and may be downloaded for free from the Materials Bank website by clicking on the logo alongside.
