Semester 1
Assessment: Practical Tests
Rationale • To make use of concrete materials as
part of problem-solving processes• To apply mathematical
concepts/skills through hands-on activities independently
• To make learning of mathematics fun, meaningful & relevant
• To check for mastery of learning outcomes using different modes of assessments
Topics: Practical Tests
• Shapes and Patterns
• Length
• Mass
Assessment
