Based on your

interpretation of creating a meaningful mathematics classroom environment,

which of the following teacher actions do you think best supports mathematics

learning?

The teacher hears an incorrect answer and

asks students what they think about the idea.

The teacher ignores the incorrect answer.

The teacher tells the learner that mathematics

requires a maths gene.

The learner just does not have the gene for

doing mathematics.

In the CAPS document, the difference in the

content progression for Length in Grades 4 to 6 is that in Grade 6:

Conversions include converting between mm,

cm, m and km

❌✨

Conversions should include common fractions

and decimal fractions to 2 decimal places

Practical measuring of 2-D shapes and 3-D

objects

Solve problems in contexts involving length

In Grade 6, the units of measurement for

volume are:

millilitres (ml), litres (l) and kilolitres (kl)

millilitres (ml) and litres (l)

millimetres (ml) and litres (l)

millilitres (ml), litres (l) and metres (m)

Constructivism is

against the notion of viewing:

Learners as active participants in

mathematics learning

Interaction as the precondition of learning

Children as ‘blank slates’

Schema as the space for accommodating new

information

Two hikers start out on the Kilimanjaro Trail at the same time and

walk in the same direction. If one hiker averages 2 kilometres per hour and the

other averages 2.6 kilometres per hour, in how many hours will they be 5

kilometres apart?

3 hours

8 hours

4 hours, 30 minutes

7 hours

Rea Vaya bus 1 and 2 start from Ghandi Square at the same time and

travel in the same direction. If Rea Vaya bus 1 travels at 60 km/h and Rea Vaya

bus 2 travels at 72 km/h, in how many hours will they be 60 kilometres apart?

6 hours

5 hours

12 hours

3 hours

In which grade are learners expected to engage in calculations and

problem-solving for time where the time is given in centuries, decades and/or

years?

Grade 4

Grade 5

Grade 6

Grade 7

is the formula for calculating:

Area of a triangle

Area of a

trapezium

Volume of trapezium

Doing mathematics is

about…

mathematics problems are meant to be solved as quickly as possible.

mathematics is all symbols and no words.

school mathematics is useless.

learners are allowed to engage in investigative processes and where they have the time and space to explore problems.
