1.1 K-S 50 km

S-C 60 km

C-S 70 km

S-H 70 km

H-R 20 km

R-M 35 km

1.2 ± 275 km

275 km ÷ 9 km = 30,35 = ± 30,5 ℓ

1.3 30,5 × R 5,80 = R 176,90

1.4 1 350 ÷ 100 = 13,5

13,5 × 140 = 1 890

= 1 890 steps

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 1.6: We know this when the learner solves problems in context including contexts that may be used to build awareness of other Learning Areas, as well as human rights, social, economic and environmental issues such as:

1.6.1: financial;

1.6.2: measurements in Natural Sciences and Technology contexts;

Learning Outcome 2: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent patterns and relationships, as well as to solve problems using algebraic language and skills.

Assessment Standard 2.4: We know this when the learner writes number sentences to describe a problem situation, including problems within contexts that may be used to build awareness of human rights, social, economic, cultural and environmental issues.
