Mathematics Grade 12 (Maths) Assignments 2021 Welcome, fellow learners, educators, and enthusiasts, to an exploration of the captivating world of Grade 12 Mathematics assignments. As we embark on this journey, we’ll delve into the intricacies, challenges, and rewards that await students in their final year of high school mathematics education.
Assignment Assessment types for Mathematics Grade 12Although assessment guidelines are included in the annual teaching plan at the end of each term, the following general principles apply:
Tests and examinations are usually time-limited and assessed using a marking memorandum. Assignments are generally extended pieces of work in which time constraints have been relaxed and which may be completed at home. Assignments may be used to consolidate or deepen understanding of work done earlier. They may thus consist of a collection of past examination questions or innovative activities using any resource material. It is, however, advised that assignments be focused.
Projects are more extended tasks that may serve to deepen understanding of curricular mathematics topics. They may also involve extracurricular mathematical topics where the learner is expected to select appropriate mathematical content to solve context-based or real-life problems. The focus should be on the mathematical concepts and not on duplicated pictures and regurgitation of facts from reference material.
Investigations are set to develop the mathematical concepts or skills of systematic investigation into special cases with a view to observing general trends, making conjectures and proving them.
It is recommended that while the initial investigation can be done at home, the final write-up be done in the classroom, under supervision and without access to any notes. Investigations are marked using a rubric which can be specific to the task, or generic, listing the number of marks awarded to each skill as outlined below:
- 40% for communicating individual ideas and discoveries, assuming the reader has not come across the task before. The appropriate use of diagrams and tables will enhance the assignment, investigation or project.
- 35% for generalising, making conjectures and proving or disproving these conjectures;
- 20% for the effective consideration of special cases; and
- 5% for presentation, that is, neatness and visual impact.
