Assessment & Subject Specific Competencies
Competencies are progressive, comprehensive and integrated. Development of the competencies will occur through a variety of learning activities. These will require students to engage in both simple and complex learning situations using a wide variety of strategies such as: independent and group-based project work (resulting in oral, written or performance outcomes), field trips, essays, portfolios, student-teacher conferences and quizzes. Assessment of the subject-specific competencies is criterion-based, according to the MATHEMATICS Achievement Scales established by the Ministry of Education, Sports and Leisure. The table below describes the specific competencies and the relative weighting.
