2 MATHEMATICAL LITERACY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2021)
MARKING GUIDELINES
NOTE:
If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
If a candidate has crossed out (cancelled) an attempt to a question and NOT redone the
solution, mark the crossed out (cancelled version)
Consistent Accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines; however, it
stops at the second calculation error.
If the candidate presents any extra solution when reading from a graph, table, layout plan and
map, then penalise for every extra incorrect item presented.
LET WEL:
As ʼn kandidaat ʼn vraag TWEE keer beantwoord merk slegs die EERSTE poging.
As ʼn kandidaat ʼn antwoord van ʼn vraag doodtrek (kanselleer) en nie oordoen nie, merk die
doodgetrekte (gekanselleerde) poging.
Volgehoue akkuraatheid (CA) word in ALLE aspekte van die nasienriglyn toegepas, maar dit
hou by die tweede berekeningsfout op.
Wanneer ʼn kandidaat aflees van ʼn grafiek, tabel, uitlegplan en kaart en ekstra antwoorde gee,
penaliseer vir elke ekstra item.
