Learning Outcomes
Numbers, operations and
relationships
To be able to recognize, describe
and represent numbers and their
relationships and to count, estimate,
calculate and check with
competence and confidence in
solving problems
Patterns, functions and algebra
To be able to recognize, describe
and represent patterns and
relationships, as well as to solve
problems using algebraic language
and skills
Space and Shape (Geometry)
To be able to describe and
represent characteristics and
relationships between twodimensional
shapes and threedimensional
shapes in a variety of
orientations and positions
Measurement
To be able to use appropriate
measuring units, instruments and
formulae in a variety of contexts
Data handling
To be able to collect, summarize,
display and critically analyse data in
order to draw conclusions and make
predictions, and to determine
chance variation
Main focus in each outcome
The learner moves from counting
correctly to calculating with all four
operations; learns to use the calculator
as an effective tool as and when it’s
needed; knows tables to 12 x 12 and can
calculate mentally effectively.
Numeric and geometric patterns are
studied, especially the relationships
between the terms in a sequence and
between the number of a term and the
term itself.
The learner deals with a more detailed
description of 2D shapes and 3D objects.
Learners use standardized units of
measurement and measuring
instruments and must be able to estimate
and prove results through accurate
measurement.
Learners gain skills in gathering and
summarising data so that the data can
be interpreted and used to make
predictions.
ASSESSMENT STANDARDS
The assessment standards are closely related. Activities should, wherever possible, cover
more than one assessment standard within one learning outcome. Activities may cover
related Assessment Standards across Learning Outcomes within the grade.
LEARNER ASSESSMENT
At the end of each activity there is an assessment sheet. Both the learner and the educator
complete this. The assessment of both may then be compared. The educator’s assessment
will serve to provide marks for the portfolio.
CODES FOR ASSESSMENT SHEETS
4 = Learner’s performance has exceeded the requirements of the learning outcome for the
grade.
