Opening and welcome
• 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?
• • • • • • SIMPLE LITTLE TEST Mary’s father has five daughters: 1. Chacha 2. Cheche 3. Chichi 4. Chocho 5. ?????????What is the 5 th daughter’s name?
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 Instrument to be used.
• 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.
School: Internal Moderation
Moderation
Teacher portfolio and sample of learner performance – twice a year by Subject Head District: Curriculum Adviser / HO Provincial: Umalusi Teacher portfolio and sample of learner performance – twice during year Cluster moderation Once per year MIGHT HAPPEN IN 2014
Provincial Moderation 2014 REPORT
Moderation of Exam Papers
• Second term : Gr. 8 -12 • Third term : Gr. 8 -12 • Fourth term : Gr. 9 & 11 • Schools will be selected.
• Deadlines to be met.
• Exam/test templates to be used and submitted as well– not negiotable.
• Format of memo.
Portfolio Management
• Subject Resource File • Teacher portfolio • Learner portfolio
Important documents: Subject Resource File • Standard Setting notes • Grade 8-9: CAPS document • Subject Framework • Work schedules/Pace setters • Plan of Assessment • Circulars • Exemplar Tasks, Exemplar Papers

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
