Technical Mathematics/P2 2 Hlayiso/Prediction 2026 NSC – Marking Guidelines MARKING CODES A Accuracy CA Consistent accuracy M Method R Rounding NPR No penalty for rounding NPU No penalty for units omitted S Simplification SF Substitution in correct formula ST Statement RE Reason S/R Statement with reason AO Answer only NOTE: • If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt. • Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines where indicated. • No penalty for rounding (NPR) for ALL questions, unless stated otherwise. A tolerance range is given where rounding of an earlier answer changes the final answer. • In QUESTIONS 7, 8 and 9 (Euclidean geometry) a statement without the correct reason earns no mark for the reason. Accept any valid alternative proof. Copyright reserved Please turn over
