What the learner need to demonstrate in order to meet the learning outcome

The learner can:

Demonstrate counting skills on two occasions when preparing for or during a land-based work experience (for example use correct number of scoops per animal; number of plug plants per plant pot; calculate the cost of products or plants for sale (up to £10))
Identify a situation where accurate counting is important and the impact of getting it wrong (for example over or underfeeding animals; under or overcharging a customer or providing the wrong change)

Demonstrate using a measuring tool or measuring equipment on two occasions in preparation for or during a land-based work experience (for example use a dibber tool to measure the correct depth to plant seeds at according to instructions; test soil moisture levels with a moisture meter; use correct sized measuring scoop for animal feed)
Identify a situation where accurate measuring is important and the impact of getting it wrong (for example adding too much water to a plant will make it fall over and rot; planting seeds at the incorrect depth may result in the seeds not growing)
