Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 2 Mathematics/P2 2 Hlayiso/Mock 2026 Senior Phase – Marking Guidelines NOTE: • If a learner answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt. • Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines, unless stated otherwise. Stop marking at the second calculation error. • Accept answers rounded correctly to TWO decimal places. Penalise units only where the question asks for them. • Accept any other correct method and award marks accordingly. GEOMETRY S A mark for a correct statement (a statement mark is independent of a reason). R A mark for the correct reason (a reason mark may only be awarded if the statement is correct). S/R Award a mark if the statement AND reason are both correct. Accept the usual abbreviations, e.g. ∠s on a str line; vert opp ∠s; corresp ∠s, AB∥CD; alt ∠s; co-int ∠s; sum of ∠s in △; ext ∠ of △; ∠s opp = sides; opp ∠s of ∥m.
