2.2FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
(6 hprescribed, butmake 6 x 45 minperiodes)
Input and output values
  • Find the input, output numbers or rules for patterns and relations by using
  • Flow diagrammes
  • Tables
  • Formulas
  • Equations.
Equivalent forms
  • Work with equivalent forms of different descriptions of the same relation or rule that are represented as
  • Verbally
  • Flow diagrammes
  • Tables
  • Formulas
  • Equations.
Nota: Leraners should be able to convert between the different forms by using inspection, substitution, solving equations, etc. Equations are dealt with extensively in the next topic, and it was also covered to a certain extent in the first term. Furthermore, flow diagrammes and the generation of tables, were also covered in the first term. This section should therefore mainly serves to consolidate.
.
2.3EQUATIONS
(3 hprescribed, but make6 x 45 minperiodes)
  • Revision from the first term, as well as work covered above. (Pls stress the consolidation of additive and multiplicative inverses.)
  • Substitution in equations/formulas to generate ordered pairs.
  • Consolidation of work covered above, as well as word problem solving.
2.5GRAPHS
(9 h =12 x 45 min periodes)
Interpretation of graphs
  • Revise the following from grade 7
  • Global graphs that describe situations with the focus on
Linear and non-linear graphs
(It would be helpful to refer to the ratio and rate in the first term to highlight the differences).
Constant, increasing or decreasing graphs
  • Now extent (new work)to
  • Maximum and minimum points
  • discreteand continuous
(Make sure learners understand the difference between dependent and independent variables in these sections).
Draw graphs
  • Intuitive concept of horizontal and vertical axes as on graph paper provided (Scenarios from learners life experiences should be presented in graph, e.g transport to school with bicycles, minibus taxi etc).
  • Concepts and illustration of Cartesian plane, system of axes, quadrants, origin point, x-and y- coordinates, coordinate pair, etc.
(Pls provide learners with graph paper. It is time consuming and unproductive to let them draw the system of axes!).
  • Complete tables to draw graphs (linear and non-linear).
Note: The formal determination and application of gradients of straight line, as well as the intercepts with the axes are dealt with only in grade 9. For now it’s only expected of the to use coordinate pairs to sketch the graphs.
  • Consolidation of graphs
Note: A FAT investigation can now be done on patterns and graphs (I’ll send an exemplar shortly)
5.4PROBABILITY
(4,5prescribed, but make 4 x 45 min periodes)
Probability
  • Definition and examples (dice, cards, spinners, different coloured balls, etc.) to drive home the concept.
  • Probability scale
  • Compare Relative frequency with probability

NOTE

The CAPS makes provision for 35,5h for new work for the term, as well as 9,5h for revision/assessments. This means that 9-10 weeks are allocated to new work, and 2-3 weeks for exams/revision, Aas well as the completion of FATs. The reality is that we only have +/- 6 weeks available for new work as well as the completion of FATs. I have therefore adapted the term 4 by taking out the section on 3-D solids, as well as transformation geometry. This is +/- 3 weeks of work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have other ideas.

Good luck for the rest of the term.
