INTRODUCTION:

This Teacher Resource Pack supports effective pacing of curriculum delivery. The sequencing and time allocation have
been adapted to support post-Covid curriculum recovery. This Pace Setter should be used in conjunction with the
WCED lessons to prepare for daily teaching in Mathematics. The use of the SASOL/DBE Teacher Guide, available at
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Isxq81BCFduoHDOMCQ0qkSJ0KY7fa-o_?usp=sharing (copy, paste into
browser) is recommended here. The more challenging concepts are supported with QR codes and links, where possible
methodology can be viewed in preparation for teaching. It may not be used as replacement for teaching.

The Mental Maths Program refers to the WCED strategy provided to schools and suggests a tested strategy to develop
sound number concept with learners.

The Pace Setter indicates the development of problem-solving strategies and offers examples supported by QR codes
to explain each strategy.

Assessment: Teachers are advised to refer to guidelines to minimum criteria as set by the WCED.
