Foreword In order to improve learning outcomes the Department of Basic Education conducted research to determine the specific areas that learners. struggle with in Grade 12 examinations. The research included a trend analysis by subject experts of learner performance over a period of five years as well as learner examination scripts in order to diagnose deficiencies or misconceptions in particular content areas. In addition, expert teachers were interviewed to determine the best practicesto ensure mastery of thetopic by learners and improve outcomes in terms of quality and quantity. The results of the research formed the foundation and guiding principles for the development of the booklets. In each identified subject, key content areas were identified for the development of material that will significantly improve learner's conceptual understanding whilst leading to improved performance in the subject. The booklets are developed as part of a series of booklets, with each bookietfocussing onlyon one specific challenging topic. The selected content is explained in detail and include relevant concepts from Grades 10 - 12 to ensure conceptual understanding. The main purpose of these booklets is to assist learners to master the content starting from a basic conceptual level of understanding to the more advanced level. The content in each booklets is presented in an easy to understand manner including the use of mind maps, summaries and exercises to support understanding and conceptual progression. These booklets should ideally be used as part of a focussed revision or enrichment program by learners after the topics have been taught in class. The booklets encourage learners to take ownership of their own learning and focus on developing and mastery critical content and skills such as reading and higher order thinking skills. Teachers are also encouraged to infuse the content into existing lesson preparation to ensure in- depth curriculum coverage of a particular topic. Due to the nature of the booklets covering only one topic, teachers are encouraged to ensure learners access to the booklets in either print or digital form if a particular topic is taught.

Say whether it has increased or decreased. o “If possible, provide a general comment. Hint: Use short sentences and point form when commenting. Financial indicator 2016 2017 | Current ratio 16:1 2,371 Acid test ratio 0,7:1 15:1 o Current ratio has improved from 1,6: 1 to 2,3: 1 o Acid test ratio has improved from 0,7 :1t0 1,5: 1 o This company is in a good liquidity position and should be able to pay its short-term debt easily.

DPS has declined from 75c¢ to 60c per share. In 2016, the EPS was 85c, while the DPS was 75c per share. This means that the company retained 10c per share for future growth. o In 2017, the company earned 55c per share, but gave the shareholders 60c per share; therefore none of this year's profits were retained.
