ABOUT THE PLANNER AND TRACKER
This 2021 Revised Recovery Curriculum and Assessment Planner and Tracker is provided by the
National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) on behalf of the Department of Basic Education
(DBE)! We hope that this programme provides you with additional skills, methodologies and content
knowledge that you can use to teach your learners more effectively.
WHAT IS NECT?
In 2012 our government launched the National Development Plan (NDP) to eliminate poverty and
reduce inequality by the year 2030. Improving education is an important goal in the NDP which
states that 90% of learners will pass Maths, Science and languages with at least 50% by 2030. This is
an ambitious goal for the DBE to achieve on its own, so the NECT was established in 2015 to assist in
improving education.
The NECT has successfully brought together groups of people interested in education so that we can
work collaboratively to improve education. These groups include the teacher unions, businesses,
religious groups, trusts, foundations and NGOs.
PURPOSE OF PLANNER AND TRACKER

1) To mediate the amendments of the trimmed and re-organised 2021 Annual Teaching Plan
including School-Based Assessments for Mathematics Grade 6.
2) To ensure that meaningful teaching continues during the remaining teaching time as per the
school calendar for TERM 3.
3) To assist teachers with guided pacing and sequencing of curriculum content and assessment.
4) To enable teachers to cover the core skills and knowledge in each grade within the available
time.
5) To assist teachers with planning for the different forms of assessment.
6) To ensure learners are adequately prepared for the subsequent year/s in terms of skills,
knowledge, attitudes and values.
PREAMBLE
It must be emphasized that Term 1 and term 2 content coverage by teachers were impacted by
COVID-19. Schools were particularly disrupted by the fact that learners only attended school for 50%
of the time and had to endure variations of the rotation system implemented in the schools.
Disruption in schools has also meant disruption in different forms of assessment, so it has been hard
to fully pin down exactly how much the school closures and transitions in and out of virtual learning
have affected students’ mathematical learning, but the evidence so far does not bode well.
Curriculum coverage in term 1 and 2, must be viewed and implemented in term 3, in the light of
some contextual realities that includes the following:
1) 2020 was an abnormal year in terms of content coverage. Learners have progressed to a
higher grade level without learning all the core skills required for that grade.
2) Some learners were not in school for most of 2020 and perhaps part of 2021.
3) Mathematics is almost always formally learned at school. Many of our parents are often less
well-equipped to help their children with mathematics, at a time when parent support can
be even more crucial to student progress. This means that the burden falls directly on our
teachers.
3
4) Broader stress and trauma related to the pandemic may worsen existing mathematics
anxiety in some students, and mathematics anxiety can exacerbate students’ other stress
while in class.
Awareness of the above challenges and the consequent assumptions that emerge out of it, is crucial
for the implementation of the Revised ATPs emphasizing the recovery of skills not yet mastered in
mathematics. This Planner and Tracker is in alignment with the theme of recovery of skills not learnt
and covers the following:
1) aims to ensure that the critical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes outlined in the ATPs
are covered over this time period.
2) Curriculum Reorganisation and Trimming for this term purports to reduce the envisaged
curriculum to manageable core content , skills, knowledge, attitudes and values to enhance
deep and meaningful learning.
3) Create opportunities through adjusted ATPs to strengthen pre-knowledge, consolidation,
revision, and deeper learning.
4) The Planner and Tracker clearly define the core knowledge, skills, attitude to be taught and
assessed more specifically to guide and support teachers.
5) It also aligns curriculum content and assessment to the available teaching time. Entrench
assessment for learning as a Pedagogical Approach to address the learning losses.
6) Be used as planning tool to inform instruction during the remaining school terms.
ADJUSTED SCHOOL CALENDAR

SCHOOL TERMS DATES TEACHING DAYS
Term 1 15 February - 23 April 50(10 weeks)
Term 2 3 May – 9 July 50(10 weeks)
Term 3 26 July – 01 October 50(10 weeks)
Term 4 11 Oct - 15 Dec 48(10 weeks)
NOTES:
• TEACHING APPROACH in this term assumes that ALL learners are attending schools and the
Rotation system may not be implemented meaning that schools may implement normal
timetable.
• NECT TERM 3 Planner and Tracker has 48 teaching and learning days (2 public holidays), of
which 15 days are used for formative and summative Assessment days.
• NECT Term 3 Planner and Tracker focuses on Deep learning through assessment for learning
- There is no time for assessment that does not inform the way forward. Teachers should
consolidate, revise and remediate through error analysis that leads to skills mastery.
MANAGING TIME ALLOCATED IN THE TRACKER
• The tracker for each term contains details of work to be covered over 60 lessons per term,
six per week for ten weeks.
• The CAPS prescribes six hours of Mathematics per week in Grade 6.
• Each school will organise its timetable differently, so the programme of lessons is based on
work in the Learner’s Book and DBE workbook, which should take just over an hour per day
to complete.
4
• You might have to divide the sessions in the programme slightly differently to accommodate
the length of the lessons at your school.
• Depending on the pace at which your learners work, and how much support is needed,
• you might also have to supplement the set activities by using other resources to ensure that
the full six hours allocated to teaching Mathematics is used constructively.
• The breakdown of work to be done each week corresponds to the ‘annual teaching plan and
programme of assessment’ drawn up by the Provincial Department of Education; however,
the tracker gives a more detailed outline of what should be taught each day.
• This tracker is designed for a term that is 10 weeks long.
• In most weeks, one lesson is set aside for you to catch up on work not done in the previous
five lessons, or to provide remedial support or enrichment.
• The formal teaching programme, the project, some revision, and the term test should be
completed by the end of Week 10.
REMEMBER: The teacher should employ group teaching based on principles of differentiation – cater
for the needs of every learner by making sure every learner masters the fundamental skills in
mathematics. The teacher is also mindful to plan well for effective assessment for learning to inform
the remediation and teaching, through the skills mastery approach applied in this Planner and
Tracker.
LINKS TO THE DBE WORKBOOKS

The tracker gives links to worksheets in the DBE workbooks relevant to the content described for
each day. The worksheets are referred to by worksheet number and page number. These workbooks
should be used in conjunction with the Learner’s Book activities. You should review the suggested
worksheets before each lesson and decide how best to use them – for teaching, revision, extension
or consolidation, in class or for homework.
TEACHING TIME
Since there are 6 hours allocated for Mathematics per week, the following is a suggested plan for
daily lessons.

Notes for the teacher.
1. The Baseline Assessment can be administered one-on one or to a group of at least 5 learners at a time – it is an
assessment FOR learning.
2. The onus is on the teacher to prepare substantial activities for the rest of the learners while the Baseline
Assessment is being administered.
3. Prepare well - study the Baseline Assessment i.e. familiarise yourself with the apparatus and templates that
must be used.

SKILLS MASTERY ASSESSMENTS

Rationale
• A Skills Mastery Assessment (SMA) is one in which there is an iterative revisiting of skills,
topics, subjects or themes throughout the year.
• SMA is not simply the repetition of a topic taught. It requires the deepening of it, with
each successive encounter building on the previous one.
• SMA is critical in today’s educational environment, especially in mathematics, where we
must consistently give our learners the opportunity to revisit and practice skills they
have already learned aimed at mastery.
• The traditional practice is to incorporate consolidating, revising or reviewing, through
homework, morning work, small group instruction, and even after school math classes.
Through SMA we are going to continuously review skills and concepts with our students.
• It makes sense that we would continue to assess their understanding on those same
skills by changing the context of the question using C-P-A-W (Concrete – Pictorial –
Abstract -Worded)
• When we first teach and assess a skill, many of our students have yet to master it. By
incorporating a SMA activity into your classroom, you are providing your students with
the opportunity to demonstrate their growth and understanding on a regular basis.
• These regular SMAs help you see where your students are always struggling. You can
use the results to guide your small group instruction and customize your lessons and
activities to meet the needs of your students, not just the covering of curriculum.
Implementation
• In every lesson plan there are 10 minutes set aside for consolidation and revision,
meaning one could apply SMA every day for 10 minutes, before teaching a new concept
for that day.
• Each SMA is using a five-item design to ensure teachers can complete it in 10 minutes.
• As a minimum, this Planner and Tracker, recommends the use of Tuesdays and Fridays,
but teachers could use every day.
• Each Tuesday and Thursday you are encouraged to take 10 minutes and give a SMA to
the whole class, or groups. Learners should be able to take about 5 minutes to complete
– then the teacher must remediate by addressing errors, misconceptions and
misunderstandings.
• Teachers could also use the data from the SMA to help plan small group lessons for the
next week.
• Teachers could also pull different students for different skills until the teacher felt
confident that the learners were more confident in their responses. Then next week,
repeat….new set of SMAs, similar skills being assessed, new data for small group
instruction.
19
• These daily SMAs should be seen as a progress monitoring tool as well. This will prove
to be effective in letting teachers know how their most struggling students are
progressing.
