• Is this near to or far from Kimberley?

It is __________________________.

• With your pencil mark the route on the map clearly that Bonny and her family will take from Kimberley to Cape Town .
• Write down all the names of the towns along the route you have chosen.

Kimberley ____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________ Cape Town.

• Estimate how far Kimberley is from Cape Town ?

I guess it is _____ km.

• Use the table of distances on p. 4 and read the distances.

It is _____ km.

• Did you estimate too many, too few or just right?

I guessed __________________.

• Look at the map again and estimate:

Is Durban nearer or further away from Kimberley than Cape Town ?

I guess _______________.

• Read the distance on the table. It is _____ km.
• Calculate the difference between the two distances.

• This is a table/grid of distances in kilometres showing the approximate distances between two towns or cities.

• The distance between Kimberley and Durban is coloured in on the table as an example. These cities are 825 km apart.
• Choose a friend and practise some readings.

Die afstand tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg is 1 421 km.

The distance between Cape Town and Johannesburg is 1 421 km.

Use the map on p. 3 first to estimate the distances and then look on the table on p. 4 to read the distances. Do it with a friend.

• How many kilometres does he travel in five days?
• It took five hours to travel the distance between Kimberley and Beaufort West . How many kilometres did we travel in one hour?

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.8: We know this when the learner can perform calculations, using appropriate symbols, to solve problems;

Learning Outcome 3: The learner will be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of orientations and positions.

Assessment Standard 3.2: We know this when the learner describes, sorts and compares two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in pictures and the environment.

Assessment Standard 3.6: We know this when the learner reads, interprets and draws informal maps of the school environment or of an arrangement of three-dimensional objects and locates objects on the map.

Learning Outcome 5: The learner will be able to collect, summarise, display and critically analyse data in order to draw conclusions and make predictions, and to interpret and determine chance variation.

Assessment Standard 5.5: We know this when the learner reads and interprets data presented in simple tables and lists.
