Topics Covered in the Term 1 Mathematical Literacy Quiz
This revision tool follows the Grade 11 Term 1 schedule, focusing on core practical mathematics taught in Weeks 1 through 11:
1. Patterns and Relationships
Master the way different variables interact in real-world scenarios:
- Relationship Types: Study constant differences, constant ratios, and inverse proportion.
- Representations: Practice using equations, formulae, tables, and graphs to represent data.
- Comparing Systems: Use these tools to compare different tariff systems (like electricity or cellphones) and various banking options.
2. Measurement
Develop accuracy in quantifying the world around you:
- Conversions: Practice converting between Metric and Imperial systems, as well as Temperature ($^\circ\text{C}$ to $^\circ\text{F}$ and vice versa).
- Time and Duration: Master converting hours to minutes and calculating the duration of events.
- Proportional Conversions: Understand equivalent proportionality, such as calculating how much paint is needed for a specific surface area.
- Calculations: Practice finding the Perimeter, Area (Surface Area), and Volume of various shapes, including cost calculations related to these measurements.
3. Finance
Learn the essential skills for managing personal and business money:
- Financial Documents: Understand the terminology and values on pay slips, quotations, invoices, and receipts.
- Income: Distinguish between fixed, variable, and occasional income from personal (salaries, commission) and business (sales, grants) sources.
- Expenditure: Analyze personal expenses (taxes, loan repayments) versus business running expenses.

How to Prepare for the Term 1 SBA Tasks
- Master Your Calculator: Ensure you are comfortable using your calculator for complex multi-step conversions and finance formulas.
- Practice Reading Documents: Don't just look at the totals; practice finding specific values like VAT, deductions, or unit prices on sample invoices and payslips.
- Draw the Graphs: For patterns and relationships, practice plotting points accurately on a grid. Many marks are lost due to messy or incorrectly scaled axes.
- Investigation and Controlled Test: Ensure you participate in all informal assessments, as they lead directly to the formal Investigation and Controlled Test.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Inverse Proportion"?
Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases while the other decreases at the same rate (e.g., the more people paint a wall, the less time it takes).
What is the difference between a quote and an invoice?
A quotation is an estimate of costs provided before work begins, while an invoice is a formal request for payment after goods or services have been delivered.
Top Exam Tip: Conversions
When doing Proportional Conversions (like paint coverage), always set up a ratio. If 5 litres covers $20\text{ m}^2$, then $1\text{ litre}$ covers $4\text{ m}^2$. Always find the "unit rate" first to make larger calculations much easier!
