This Assignment may help, it is the marked assignment therefore you can see where I went wrong and corrects it. This assignment achieved 35%. I have also put up the question paper and the correction made with questions 2.14 and 2.15, this assignment is also included in a bundle. Hope this helps, us...
, 2.1. A learner’s mathematical thinking involves thinking in such a way to
involve mathematics to solve real-world problems. As a teacher, I can support
learners to express and clarify their own thinking by boosting their confidence,
over 68% of teachers say that their learners lack confidence and this prevents
the learners from succeeding in mathematics. I will also make room for inquiry
and encourage the learners to ask questions, many teachers say that the best
advice to give your learners is to not only pay attention in class but to also ask
for assistance when they need. As a teacher is also need to give the learners
realistic problems so they are encouraged to participate in the lesson of
mathematics, most teachers agree that applying mathematics to real-world
problems with not only boost the learners engagement, but it will also boost
their understanding. I will also focus on fundamental understanding rather
than method; learners need to work hard to grasp maths concepts and not just
memorizing notes and formulas. Mathematics needs to be practiced and
applied. I also need to spread positive attitudes about mathematics. It is
recommended that parents need to be positive towards mathematics as well,
they must try not to mention how difficult math is or can get, because their
children end up seeking tutors to help them solve maths problems.
2.2.
Calculate 96 x 85
96 x 85 = 96 x (80 + 5) (breaking up one number)
= 96 x 80 + (96 x 5) (using the distributive property)
= 7 680 + 480
= 8 160
Checking the reasonableness by rounding off:
96 x 85 ≈ 96 x 90 ≈ 8 640 (by approximating the multiplicand)
96 x 85 ≈ 100 x 85 ≈ 8 500 (by approximating the multiplier)

2.3.1. The common error that Phina made in all 3 sums was that she did not
carry over the first number to the next column. For example, in the sum (456 x
4), she multiplied the 6 and the 4 and got the answer of 24, but she did not
carry the 2 over to the next column above the 5, she then multiplied 5 and 4
and got the answer of 20, she wrote down the 0, but did not carry the 2 over
into the next column to be added. She then multiplied the 4 and the 4, and got
the answer of 16, but she added both the 2’s that, to her, was left over and
added it to the 16 and got the answer of 20. This was the common error that
was made by Phina in all 3 sums.
