, Question 1
1.1 Please download a Paper 1 of the November 2018 mathematics examination here or
download it from the Department of Basic Education’s website. Use this question paper to
answer the questions that follow:
1.1.1 Examine EVERY QUESTION and classify them according to various cognitive
levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. Give a reason for each classification. Draw a table in
which you indicate a level and name, the first three words in the question, the mark
allocation and the reason why you think the question is suitable for the level.
Level and Name First Three Words Mark Allocation Reason
Understanding Factorise the 2+2+3=7 Requires
following comprehension of
algebraic
expressions and
the method to

Understanding Simplify the 2+3+3=8 Requires
following understanding of
algebraic
simplifications.
Applying Determine the 3 Requires
value application of
algebraic identities
to find specific
values.
Applying Solve for x 2+3+3=8 Involves solving
equations, which is
an application of
algebraic methods.
Applying Given: −11 ≤ 3m − 2+1=3 Applying algebraic
