QUESTION 1
1.1. This statement is commendable in its intention to provide equal access to
education for all learners, regardless of their background or abilities. The desire to
equip learners with knowledge, skills, and values that can enable their self-
fulfillment and meaningful participation in society is crucial for a free and inclusive
society. However, I also recognize that the actual implementation of such policies
and ideals can be challenging, and there may be obstacles that prevent the
realization of these goals. There might be socio-economic inequalities that create
unequal access to education, and other barriers such as bias and prejudice that
can hinder learners' success.
1.2. I am Square and Rectangle, I represent the shape of Ndebele yards
- I am Triangle, I represents the shape of the Ndebele houses
- I am the bold zigzag shape. I represent the thunder and the power of the Ndebele
people.
- I am the circular motif. I symbolize unity and togetherness within the Ndebele
community.
1.3.
a) CAPS teaching guidelines - The CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy
Statement) guidelines provide a structured framework for teaching angles,
focusing on definitions, types, and measurements. While this approach ensures
coverage of essential concepts, it may lead to a rigid and formulaic approach,
potentially limiting learners' deeper understanding and exploration.
• The guidelines emphasis on definitions and procedures might result in instrumental
understanding, rather than relational understanding. This could lead to learners
struggling to apply angle concepts in real-world scenarios or connect them to
broader mathematical ideas.
