What is a baseline assessment?

The CAPS statement describes a Baseline assessment as a type of assessment alongside Diagnostic assessments, Formative assessments and Summative assessments.

"Mathematics teachers who might want to establish whether their learners meet the basic skills and knowledge levels required to learn a specific Mathematics topic will use baseline assessment. Knowing learners' level of proficiency in a particular Mathematics topic enables the teacher to plan her/his Mathematics lesson appropriately and to pitch it at the appropriate level. Baseline assessment, as the name suggests, should therefore be administered prior to teaching a particular Mathematics topic. The results of the baseline assessment should not be used for promotion purposes."

The Siyavula baseline assessment

Siyavula has created baseline assessments for Grade 8, Grade 9 and Grade 10 Mathematics learners, so that teachers can assess their learners' knowledge and skills at the beginning of high school, or at the start of the FET phase.

Baseline question

The baseline instrument comprises:

50 questions selected from the Siyavula online question bank
Students' answers will be immediately and automatically marked.
Every student will see a unique but equivalent instance of the questions, making copying meanin

Question 3

How the #1MillionMaths campaign works

Accepted Answer

Siyavula's annual #1MillionMaths campaign, which runs in September each year, is aimed at encouraging learners to prepare for their end-of-year exams. Practice is essential for learning, particularly for Mathematics and Physical Sciences, and the campaign encourages learners to adopt a goal-directed practice for mastery approach in their learning. During September, learners and schools who opt in to the annual campaign can earn prizes for their hard work on our platform.

Prizes for #1MillionMaths

Learners can win prizes in a daily draw if they meet the practice goals each day.
We will award schools prizes for the hard work their learners do.
At the end of September, learners who are in our Platinum League will be invited to join a final showdown, to pit their skills against learners across the country.

How to make sure you're eligible to win

To be eligible for any prizes, learners must opt in to the #1MillionMaths campaign, if they have not opted in before. Once a learner is opted in, their names will appear on our public leaderboards.
Learners must make sure that they are in the correct grade. Prizes will only be awarded for learners who practice in their own grade.
Teachers need to enter their schools into #1MillionMaths, in order to be eligible for prizes. Once they have opted in, their name and the name of their school will appear on our public leaderboards.

||| Even if your grade or school is opted in to #1MillionMaths, this does not mean that all
