Ready? Can Will Never Are Ke Nako

Implementation of CAPS
CAPS will be implemented in Grades 4-12 in 2012.
The decision to implement the CAPS in a phased approach is to use the 18 month period to plan for the full scale implementation in 2012 .

Teacher readiness…
Geometric thought…progress as a result of experience almost entirely dependent on instruction
Maths CAPS lean to Abstraction & Formal Deduction

General technique observed in SA schools
Assessment:
Learn the theorems well (off by heart)
Leave the riders for last
Try to do them if time allows
Teaching:
Learn the theorems well (off by heart)
Do perhaps two riders per theorem in class
Give many riders to solve at home

In the making… A Quality Curriculum
We know this :
HESA & UMALUSI
Independently
UK NARIC Report
… comparisons between the AS level are at their strongest when the reference is made to candidates completing all 3 Mathematics papers
In addition…the content of the 3 Mathematics papers plus the Advanced Programme Mathematics is more broadly in line with the requirements of the GCE A level
