To determine output values for given input values [lo 2.3.1, lo 2.3.3]

Were you able to explain how to programme a pocket calculator? If not, ask a friend to help you. Answer the following questions if you understand how to do the programming.

1. Key in: 10 x 15 = = = =

Write down your answers each time: ______________________________________

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.10: We know this when the learner uses a range of techniques to perform written and mental calculations with whole numbers including:

1.10.5: using a calculator.

Learning Outcome 2: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent patterns and relationships, as well as to solve problems using algebraic language and skills.

Assessment Standard 2.3: We know this when the learner determines output values for given input values, or input values for given output values, using:

2.3.1: verbal descriptions.
