SIMPLE LITTLE TEST•You are competing in a race, and overtake the runner lying in second place. In which position are you now?
SIMPLE LITTLE TEST
•If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now?
SIMPLE LITTLE TEST
•Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. Add 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What is the total?

Administrative arrangements
• Attendance register• Database• Transport claims(S&T ; Z43(1);Z43(2))• Reflection forms
Focus 2015
• Focus on class room visits – to support and advise
• Focus on Senior Phase• Teachers to indicate interventions for
learners who have been progressed due to age and retention norm(grade 9)
• Moderation of question papers before assessment takes place.
• Analysis of marks after assessment has been done to determine trends.
• Question analysis of papers and controlled test.
• Memorandum discussion of tests and exams where more than one teacher teaches subject in school – before marking starts.

Projects
• A project in the context of Mathematics is a task in which learners are provided with an opportunity to apply mathematical knowledge to contexts outside of mathematics.
• The mathematical knowledge applied should be relevant to the grade of the learners (there should be a clear difference between a grade 10 and 12 project)
• A project must be well-structured with clear criteria for assessment.
• Constant monitoring and support should be provided to learners throughout the duration of the task.
• Time allocation should be reasonable but not too long.• A rubric is suitable to assess a project.
TESTS Tests should adhere to the
following:
Completed by all classes in the same grade on the same day. All learners write the same test. Completed under exam conditions. Questions must comply with year-end exam standards. More than one teacher, reach agreement on scope, date and
time of test. The mark allocation for a one-hour test is at least 50 marks.
Assignments• An assignment in the context of Mathematics is
intended to provide the learners with an opportunity to consolidate what has been learnt in class.
• Such structured and controlled revision should prepare learners for tests and examinations.
• It follows therefore that there should be a direct relationship in the scope of an assignment and that of a test or examination it precedes.
• While the teacher may allocate classroom time and supervise the completion of an assignment, the learner could also complete parts of an assignment in his or her own time.
Investigations• In the context of Mathematics an investigation is
a structured task in which learners are carefully guided towards the discovery of mathematical relationships/trends. These relationships include theorems, conjectures, graphs, patterns, etc.
• It must be stated clearly that “the mathematics” being investigated by the learners must be appropriate to their grade.
• A rubric is most suitable for these kinds of tasks.
Moderation : 2015
•Internal Moderation
•Curriculum Adviser : First Round
•Curriculum Adviser : Final Moderation and Verification
Internal Moderation• HOD (or subject head) if HOD not subject specialist• Moderation of tasks and assessment tools BEFORE task
is given to learners• Moderation of completed tasks of learners-10%• Record the moderated tasks (Names & Marks)• Please record on electronic sheets• Moderation of the recorded marks• Content page by teacher• Report by CA
Moderation: What to look for?• Duration, length• Weighting of content• Weighting of cognitive levels• Language – mathematical vs layman• Use of pictures, diagrams, graphs to facilitate
language• Technical care : Typed; Same font; NO copy and
paste.• Memoranda : Neatness; marks allocation;
explanation for marks given.
Instrument to be used.

Challenges for 2015• Content knowledge• Teaching methodology • Planning• Quality of passes• Attracting learners to the subject and retaining learners
within the subject for grade 10• ANA’s improvement• WCED systemic tests improvement• Gr 8 Baseline tests-pilot
LEARNER TUTORING
• Budget approval• Grade 8 & 9 depending on availability and
suitabality of tutors• Selected schools• Rationale:More learners grade 10• Attendance register• Subject teacher MUST attend
