Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises the Grade 8 Mathematics Mid Term 2 Exam 2025 with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The exam paper, titled "MATHEMATICS," is designed for Grade 8 learners. The total time allocated for the paper is 2 hours. The exam is marked out of a total of 100 marks.

  The structure and content of the exam are as follows:

  • SECTION A (20 marks)
    • This section consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, each worth 1 mark.
    • Topics covered include:
      • Arithmetic operations (order of operations, integers, decimals, fractions, percentages).
      • Number theory (place value, prime numbers).
      • Basic algebra (simplifying expressions, solving linear equations, forming equations from word problems).
      • Ratios and proportions.
      • Geometry (angles on a straight line, properties of regular polygons, perimeter and area of simple and composite figures).
      • Commercial arithmetic (discounts, simple financial transactions).
      • Measurement (average speed, volume of cuboids).
      • Data handling (median).
  • SECTION B (80 marks)
    • This section consists of 14 structured questions, grouped into 5 tasks. Workings must be shown.
    • Task 1 (18 Marks):
      • Commercial arithmetic: Calculating cost price, selling price, profit, or loss.
      • Ratio and Proportion: Sharing a quantity in a given ratio.
      • Arithmetic: Operations with fractions and applying the order of operations (BEDMAS/PEMDAS) with integers and exponents.
    • Task 2 (12 Marks):
      • Algebra: Solving linear equations, including those with variables on both sides and those involving brackets.
      • Algebra: Solving simultaneous linear equations.
    • Task 3 (20 Marks):
      • Mensuration: Calculating the area of composite shapes (by dividing into rectangles and triangles).
      • Mensuration: Calculations involving cylinders (radius, base area, volume, capacity in litres).
      • Mensuration: Calculations involving rectangular prisms (volume, total surface area).
    • Task 4 (18 Marks):
      • Geometry: Calculating angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal.
      • Coordinate Geometry: Plotting points and triangles on a Cartesian plane, calculating the length of a line segment, determining the height of a triangle, and calculating its area.
      • Geometry: Calculations involving regular polygons (number of sides from exterior angle, size of interior angle, sum of interior angles).
    • Task 5 (12 Marks):
      • Data Handling: Interpreting data from a table, calculating totals, and representing data using a bar graph.
      • Statistics: Calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) for a given set of data.
      • Data Handling: Organizing raw data into a frequency distribution table and determining the total number of observations.
