QUESTION 1: (5)
Assessment, as outlined in the CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy
Statement) document and study guides, refers to the ongoing process of
gathering information about students' progress, understanding, and abilities. It
involves systematically collecting, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to make
informed decisions about teaching and learning. Assessment encompasses
various methods, including formal tests, informal observations, discussions,
projects, and tasks, to evaluate students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes
across different subject areas and developmental stages.
QUESTION 2: (8)
2.1 Classwork observation:
Example: In a mathematics class, the teacher observes students as they work
in pairs to solve addition problems on the board. The teacher notes how each

student contributes to the task, their problem-solving strategies, and their level
of understanding of the concepts being taught.
2.2 Orals/discussions:
Example: During a group discussion, students are asked to explain their
reasoning behind selecting a particular geometric shape for a given problem.
Each student takes turns presenting their arguments and justifications,
promoting communication skills and conceptual understanding.
2.3 Practical demonstrations:
Example: Students use blocks or counters to explore basic multiplication
concepts. They create arrays to represent different multiplication facts and
demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between multiplication and
repeated addition through hands-on activities.
2.4 Written work:
Example: Students complete a worksheet where they are required to solve
word problems involving addition and subtraction. They demonstrate their
ability to apply mathematical concepts, interpret information, and communicate
their solutions in writing.
