Teacher's Guide Module 1 - Maths Excellence

.......................ACTIVITY 3.8
This mainly tests the ability to calculate answers with small subtrahends. Ensure that
learners know what it means to "treble" - after the test, though.
.......................ACTIVITY 3.9
In this activity, learners can discover how "expensive" life has become. They are therefore
making contact with the everyday realities of life.
.....................ACTIVITY 3.10
This activity is linked to the previous one: It will be interesting to find out how prices of
items have changed through the years! Pay attention to the correct calculation of the
differences between past and present prices.
.....................ACTIVITY 3.11
** This activity is for inclusion in the portfolio. It is important for learners to learn something
about budgeting, even at a simple level. The most important aspect here is that they
should be able to draw up a budget for themselves. Ensure that the learners understand
what is at stake and that they know how their work will be assessed before they start the
activity.
