• What do I KNOW?
• What do I WANT to KNOW?
• Choose a STRATEGY or

ACTION and SOLVE.

• Does my answer MAKE

SENSE?

• I DID IT!

• What do I KNOW?

What do I WANT to KNOW?

What information is given? What are we trying to find out? What do we need to know to solve the problem? What information is missing or not needed? Can you restate the problem in your own words?

What do I KNOW?

• Choose a STRATEGY or

ACTION and SOLVE

• Draw a picture, model or diagram
• Guess & Check / Make a supposition
• Look for/Use a Pattern
• Work Backwards
• Use before-after concept
• Make a systematic list

What do I KNOW?

• Choose a STRATEGY or

ACTION and SOLVE

Implement the strategy or strategies and perform any necessary actions or computations. Show each step clearly and systematically. Check each step of the plan as you proceed.

What do I KNOW?

• Does my answer MAKE

SENSE?

Check the solution. Interpret the solution in terms of the original problem. Does the answer make sense? Is it reasonable? Does it answer the question?

• Manage time for each section appropriately
• 1 h 45 min – 30 min on Booklet A

– 1 hour on Booklet B

– 15 min checking

• Pupils should not spend too much time on questions they

do not understand. Move on to the next question and go back to them after attempting all the questions.

• Get all Math instrument ready (protractor, set square, ruler)

• Read each question carefully -- Underline key words and

important information

• Show working clearly for SAQ as method mark is

awarded

• Show all steps and working clearly for structured/LAQ
• - Use models, diagrams, tables, heuristics, etc.
• Give final answer (in word statement) in the correct

unit of measurement where necessary

• Both speed and accuracy are important (Practise!)
