ASSIGNMENT 4 2025
UNIQUE NO. 205733
DUE DATE: 31 AUGUST 2025
, QUESTION 1 (41 Marks)
1.1 Example questions per cognitive level
1.1.1 Level 1: Mathematical knowledge (4) Example: What is the place value of digit 6
in the number 4 6 2? Solution: The 6 is in the tens place. Therefore, its value is 60.
1.1.2 Level 2: Routine Procedures (4) Example: A pen costs R12. How much will 5
pens cost? Solution: R12 × 5 = R60. The pens cost R60 altogether.
1.1.3 Level 3: Complex Procedures (real-life) (4) Example: A farmer has 120
oranges. He wants to pack them equally into boxes of 8. How many boxes will he need?
Solution: 120 ÷ 8 = 15. The farmer will need 15 boxes.
1.1.4 Level 4: Problem Solving (real-life) (4) Example: A taxi can carry 12
passengers. If 95 people need transport, how many taxis are required? Solution: 95 ÷
12 = 7 remainder 11 → so 8 taxis are needed.
1.2 Enlargement problem (4)
Original photo: 120 mm × 90 mm → Enlarged: 360 mm × 270 mm. Scale factor = 360 ÷
120 = 3 (same for 270 ÷ 90). Tail length in large photo = 15 mm × 3 = 45 mm.
1.3 Benefits of modelling in primary maths (6)
Makes abstract ideas concrete – learners can use drawings/objects to
understand maths better.
Encourages active participation – learners explore problems themselves
rather than memorising.
