In Term4 of Grade 4, the formal assessment programme specified by the CAPS requires Note: The assessment programme given in this document is based on the requirements
at least one assignment, one investigation and an end-of-year examination. The for formal assessment given in the CAPS for Mathematics in the Intermediate Phase
approved Learners Books and Teachers Guides provide exemplars of an investigation, (DBE 2011). The DBE occasionally changes the requirements for formal assessment,
an assignment and an examination which you can use with your class. The Assessment and the timing of such changes might mean that they are not reflected here. In such

Weekly reflection
The tracker gives you space to reflect on your Mathematics lessons on a weekly basis.
You can share this reflection with your HOD and discuss things that worked or did not
go well in your lesson. Together with your HOD you can think of ways of improving the
daily work that the learners in your class are doing. When you reflect you could think
about things such as:
Was your preparation for the lesson adequate? For instance: Did you have
all the necessary resources, had you thought through the content so that you
understood it fully and so could teach it effectively?

B = 3 13 = 39 61 3 = 20 remainder 1, so the 61st square is the start of the next 3 squares and
starts with black.
C = 13 + 39 = 52
Solution: You could draw more squares until you reach the 61st one. This would
take a lot of time. Also, what if you were asked: What is the colour of the 1000th
square? It is not practical to draw 1000 squares.

2. Answer: 8 factors in 24
1 24 = 24
2 12 = 24
3 8 = 24
4 6 = 24

It is a multiple of 5.
It is a multiple of 4. ?
It is even.
These figures form a pattern. Which is the odd one out? Each of these scales is balanced.

One part is added to the man in each picture. In A and B, more than one part
was added, so they are not correct.
In pattern C the square and the triangle are in the wrong order. The square is double the value of the circle and the triangle is double the value
of the square, so the triangle must be four times the circle.
1 square = 2 circles
1 triangle = 2 squares
So 1 triangle = 4 squares
This remediation section of the tracker gives more activities which can be used to This collaboration has resulted in the training of teachers, in some provinces, to teach
improve classroom practice. Please also consult the remediation suggestions and problem solving skills more effectively. The remediation section in this tracker follows
exercises given in the trackers for Terms 1, 2 and 3. this approach.
As you can see from the graph below (2014 results) the learner scores in Grade 4 This is not the only way to teach problem solving; experienced educationalists have
Mathematics ranged from 0% to 100% and the modal score (the score most frequently other methods which you may find to be more effective with your learners, but the
attained by learners) was a shocking 20%. point that must be emphasised is:
The average for Grade 4 was 37%. Learners need to be guided and taught how to go about solving mathematical
problems: It is not enough just to say Turn to page 56 and do the word problems.
Figure 1: GRADE 4 MATHEMATICS: DISTRIBUTION OF LEARNER PERCENTAGE
SCORES (N = 8091) The ANA diagnostic report and the DBE officials consulted in the drawing up of this
tracker have stated that you should try to incorporate a word problem into each and
every lesson you teach so that your learners have more opportunities to develop their
skills in solving mathematical problems. This is especially important in Grade 4 when
learners have to do mathematics in English.
The ANA 2014 learner responses showed weaknesses in the following areas:
Solving problems in financial contexts
Conversion of units in measurement
Solving word problems in capacity
Calculation of time intervals
Solving problems involving grouping and sharing
Division of whole numbers
Determining input and output values
Ability to work number sentences
Knowledge of the properties of 2-D shapes and 3-D objects
Identification of symmetry of 2-D shapes
Comparing common fractions.

(Learners choose their own strategy to find the answer)
Example:

Barry 3 R? Applying the 3 times table:
3 80 = 240
From the diagram we can see that the operation should be division.
267 240 = 27
The number sentence should be R267 3 =
Now: 27 3 = 9
Learners work out the answer.
