Mathematics/ P1/Marking Guideline Grade 11 TN/May/June 2024

NOTE:
• If a candidate answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• If a candidate has crossed out an attempt of a question and not redone the question, mark the
crossed out version.
• Consistent accuracy applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines. Stop marking at the second
calculation error.
• Assuming answers/values to solve a problem is NOT acceptable.

GEOMETRY
A mark for a correct statement
S
(A statement mark is independent of a reason.)
A mark for a correct reason
R
(A reason mark may only be awarded if the statement is correct.)
S/R Award a mark if the statement AND reason are both correct.
