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 money problems involving totals and change in rands and cents, including converting between rands and cents;
Assessment Standard 1.8: We know this when the learner can perform calculations, using appropriate symbols, to solve problems;
Learning Outcome 4: The learner will be able to use appropriate measuring units, instruments and formulae in a variety of contexts.
Assessment Standard 4.6: We know this when the learner investigates (alone and/or as a member of a group or team) and approximates;
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.
