Types of Questions in IAsSimple familiar

• This question type requires students to show competence with the use and comprehension of definitions, procedures, concepts and techniques in a situation.

Complex familiar

• This question type requires students to show competence with the use and comprehension of definitions, procedures, concepts and techniques in a situation

Complex unfamiliar

• This question type requires students to choose and apply appropriate procedures in a situation

The IA examinations must ensure that a balance of the unit objectives are assessed.

Problem Solving and Modelling Task involves:

• formulating a mathematical representation of a problem derived from within a real-world context

• using mathematics concepts and techniques to obtain results

• interpreting the results by referring back to the original problem context

• revising the model (where necessary)

Problems must be real-world, and can be presented to students as issues, statements or questions that may require them to use primary or secondary data.
