Marking guideline for Section B
Do not penalise the learner for the same mistake more than once.
There are no half marks.
Underline errors committed by learners do not place a cross (X).
In instances where learners have used different but mathematically sound
strategies to solve problems, they (learners) must be credited.
Credit learners for providing the correct answer without showing calculations.
