Question 1
1.1. Please download a Paper 1 of the November 2018 mathematics examination 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 Name Question (First 3 Marks Reason
Words)
1 Remembering Factorise the 7 Simple recall of factorization
following techniques (Remembering
basic algebra).
2 Understanding Given: -11 ≤ 3m 3 Understanding inequalities
and how they work in
different scenarios.
3 Applying 3.3 Calculate the 2 Application of formulae to
number find terms in a sequence.
4 Analyzing 5.2 Calculate the 6 Requires analyzing the graph
coordinates and deducing information
from it.
5 Evaluating 8.1.2 Hence, 2 Requires evaluation of
determine whether probability concepts to
conclude mutual exclusivity.
6 Creating 6.1.2 Equation of 2 Creating the equation of the
h axis of symmetry, involving
higher-level thinking.
1.1.2. Summarise the mark allocation according to different levels and indicate the total mark
per level. Use a table to indicate the level and the total marks.
