Finance: Basic concepts of income, expenditure, profit/loss, budgets, cost and selling prices, simple interest, and basic tax (e.g., VAT). Introduction to financial documents like receipts, till slips, and basic banking.
Measurement: Basic conversions (e.g., length, mass, time), calculating perimeter and area of simple shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles), volume and capacity of basic objects, time calculations, and simple speed, distance, and time relationships.
Maps and Plans: Reading and interpreting simple maps, plans, and scales; basic distance tables; understanding directions and basic layout diagrams.
Data Handling: Collecting and organizing data, basic summaries (mean, median, mode), and representing data using simple graphs (bar graphs, pie charts) and tables.
Probability: Introduction to basic probability, simple experiments (e.g., tossing a coin, rolling a die), and basic decision-making using probability in everyday contexts.
Assessment Structure
Assessment Structure
In Grade 10, Mathematical Literacy assessment consists of:
Assignments/Investigations:
Two per year, focusing on applying mathematical concepts to real-life situations and developing research and analytical skills.
Control Tests:
Two per year, assessing learners' understanding of the content covered in class.
Mid-year Examination:
Two papers (1 hour each, 50 marks each), covering content from the first half of the year.
End-of-year Examination:
Two papers (1½ hours each, 75 marks each), covering all topics in the Grade 10 curriculum.
Examination Structure:
Paper 1
Focus Areas:Finance: 60%, Data Handling: 35%, Probability: 5%
Paper 2
Focus Areas: Measurement: 55%, Maps and Plans: 40%, Probability: 5%
📝 Note: Probability is integrated into context-based questions across both papers.
Common Examination Pitfalls to Avoid:
Not reading questions carefully or misinterpreting what is being asked
Failing to show all working steps clearly
Not providing appropriate units with answers
Forgetting to interpret answers in context
Poor time management during the examination
