The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:
- sub strand name - p.85: no SUB-STRAND 6 heading is printed in the body and the contents page skips it; this name is the document's own, from Table 3 p.xxxv and Table 4 p.xxxvii
