A. GRADE 11 EXAMINATION GUIDELINES (2015)
1. INTRODUCTION
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Mathematics outlines the nature and
purpose of the subject Mathematics. This guides the philosophy underlying the teaching and
assessment of the subject in Grade 11.
The purpose of these Examination Guidelines is to:
• Provide clarity on the depth and scope of the content to be assessed in the Grade 11 common
national examination in Mathematics.
• Assist teachers to adequately prepare learners for the examinations.
This document deals with the final Grade 11 final examinations. It does not deal in any depth with the
School-Based Assessment (SBA).
These Examination Guidelines should be read in conjunction with:
• The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement
(CAPS): Mathematics
• The National Protocol of Assessment: An addendum to the policy document, the National Senior
Certificate: A qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF),
regarding the National Protocol for Assessment (Grades R–12)
• The national policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National
Curriculum Statement, Grades R–12
Included in this document is a list of Euclidean Geometry reasons which should be used as a guideline
when teaching learners Euclidean Geometry.

3. ELABORATION OF CONTENT/TOPICS
The purpose of the clarification of the topics is to give guidance to the teacher in terms of depth of
content necessary for examination purposes. Integration of topics is encouraged as learners should
understand Mathematics as a holistic discipline. Thus questions integrating various topics can be
asked.
FUNCTIONS
1. Candidates must be able to use and interpret functional notation. In the teaching process learners
must be able to understand how f (x) has been transformed to generate f (− x) , − f (x) , f ( x + a)
, f ( x) + a and af (x) where a R .
2. Trigonometric functions will ONLY be examined in Paper 2.
3. Not more than two transformations will be applied to a function simultaneously.
NUMBER PATTERNS
1. The sequence of first differences of a quadratic number pattern is linear. Therefore, knowledge of
linear patterns can be tested in the context of quadratic number patterns.
2. Recursive patterns will not be examined explicitly.
3. Links must be clearly established between patterns done in earlier grades.
4. Questions need not be limited to only quadratic patterns. Questions can be formed by using
combinations of quadratic patterns and patterns done in earlier grades.
FINANCE, GROWTH AND DECAY
1. Understand the difference between nominal and effective interest rates and convert fluently
between them for the following compounding periods: monthly, quarterly and half-yearly or
semi-annually.
2. With the exception of calculating n in the formulae: A = P(1 + i) n and A = P(1 − i) n , candidates
are expected to calculate the value of any of the other variables.
ALGEBRA
1. Solving quadratic equations using the substitution method (k-method) is examinable.
2. Equations involving surds that lead to a quadratic equation are examinable.
3. Solution of non-quadratic inequalities should be seen in the context of functions.
4. Nature of the roots will be tested intuitively with the solution of quadratic equations and in all the
prescribed functions.
PROBABILITY
1. Dependent events are examinable but conditional probabilities are not part of the syllabus.
2. Dependent events in which an object is not replaced is examinable.

EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY & MEASUREMENT
1. Measurement can be tested in the context of Trigonometry and Euclidean Geometry.
2. Composite shapes could be formed by combining a maximum of TWO of the stated shapes.
3. Candidates must know the formulae for the surface area and volume of the right prisms.
4. If the question is based on the surface area and/or volume of the cone, sphere and/or pyramid, a
list of the relevant formulae will be provided in that question. Candidates will be expected to
select the correct formula from this list.
5. The following proofs of theorems are examinable:
• The line drawn from the centre of a circle perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord
• The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is double the size of the angle
subtended by the same arc at the circle (on the same side of the chord as the centre)
• The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary
• The angle between the tangent to a circle and the chord drawn from the point of contact is
equal to the angle in the alternate segment
6. Corollaries derived from the theorems and axioms are necessary in solving riders:
• Angles in a semi-circles
• Equal chords subtend equal angles at the circumference of a circle
• Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre of a circle
• In equal circles equal chords subtend equal angles at the circumference
• In equal circles equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre.
• The exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle of the
quadrilateral.
• If the exterior angle of a quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle of the
quadrilateral, then the quadrilateral is cyclic
• Tangents drawn from a common point outside the circle are equal in length
7. The theory of quadrilaterals will be integrated into questions in the examination.
8. Concurrency theory is excluded.
TRIGONOMETRY
1. The reciprocal ratios: cosec , sec and cot can be used by candidates in the answering of
problems but will not be explicitly tested.
2. The focus of trigonometric graphs is on the relationships, simplification and determining points
of intersection by solving equations, although characteristics of the graphs should not be
excluded.
ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY
1. Prove the properties of polygons by using analytical methods.
2. The concept of collinearity must be understood.
3. Candidates are expected to be able to integrate Euclidean Geometry axioms and theorems into
Analytical Geometry problems.
4. Concepts involved with concurrency will not be examined.

STATISTICS
1. Candidates should be encouraged to use the calculator to calculate standard deviation and
variance.
2. The interpretation of standard deviation in terms of normal distribution is not examinable.
3. Candidates are expected to identify outliers intuitively in the box and whisker diagram.
In the case of the box and whisker diagram, observations that lie outside the interval
(lower quartile – 1,5 IQR ; upper quartile + 1,5 IQR) are considered to be outliers. However,
candidates will not be penalised if they did not make use of this formula in identifying outliers.

5. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MARKING
• If a learner makes more than one attempt at answering a question and does not cancel any of
them out, only the first attempt will be marked irrespective of which of the attempt(s) may be
the correct answer.
• Consistent Accuracy marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
- Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is incorrectly calculated in one
subquestion and needs to be substituted into another subquestion full marks can be
awarded for the subsequent subquestions provided the methods used are correct and the
calculations are correct.
- Assuming values/answers in order to solve a problem is unacceptable.
6. CONCLUSION
This Examination Guidelines document is meant to articulate the assessment aspirations espoused in
the CAPS document. It is therefore not a substitute for the CAPS document which educators should
teach to.
Qualitative curriculum coverage as enunciated in the CAPS cannot be over-emphasised.
