The learning packages for Grades 7-10 teachers of Science, Mathematics and

English/Reading aimed to provide support materials for teachers to help them develop the higher
order thinking skills of their students by developing HOTS items/questions using the Structure of the
Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) framework with answers and advice.

PISA is an assessment that measures 15-year-olds’ ability to use their higher order thinking skills in
Reading, Mathematics and Science to meet real-life challenges.
