• oor die vermoë beskik om ʼn verskeidenheid ondersoekmetodes te selekteer ten einde hul gepastheid te evalueer en in die konteks van hierdie module te ondersoek; en hierdie kennis kan toepas en probleme kan oplos, wat kan lei tot die verbetering van Wiskundeonderrig in die Senior Fase, met inagneming van die etiese waardes en gedrag en die wisselwerking tussen wiskunde, tegnologie en die gemeenskap;
• oor die vermoë beskik, as individu of as deel van ʼn groep, om probleme doeltreffend met die onderrig en leer van Wiskunde in die Senior Fase te identifiseer, te ontleed, te evalueer, krities daaroor te besin en dit kan aanspreek deur gepaste metodes en/of teoriegebaseerde en opvoedkundige argumente aan te wend;
• oor vaardighede beskik om inligting wat tersaaklik is vir hierdie module te versamel, te verwerk en te bestuur, wat die vermoë insluit om die inligtingsbronne te staaf, die inligting te ontleed, te evalueer en te sintetiseer en om hiermee saam ook resultate in ʼn gegewe konteks toe te pas; en
• oor die vermoë beskik om eie idees en menings te ontwikkel, gebaseer op die resultate van werkopdragte of inligtingsoektogte en voorgestelde oplossings van ware lewensprobleme; en oor die vermoë beskik om hierdie idees en menings deur goed geformuleerde argumente te kommunikeer deur toepaslike professionele en etiese beginsels en konvensies te handhaaf.
