Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

content standard text - p.106: the document prints this content-standard code as "1.5.3CS.1", with no separator before the type token
indicator text - p.106: the document prints this learning-indicator code as "1.5.3.LI.1", the same code it printed for the first indicator of this content standard on the same page. It is the second of the two indicators the Scope and Sequence (printed p.22) gives 1.5.3.CS.1, its statement is different, and keeping the printed code would produce two rows with the same (content standard, indicator) pair, which cannot be imported. Filed as 1.5.3.LI.2
exemplars - p.106: the document prints this assessment code as "1.5.3.AS.1", the same code it printed for the first assessment of this content standard on the same page. It sits beside the second indicator, so it is filed as 1.5.3.AS.2

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Problem-based learning: The teacher puts learners in mixed-ability groups and challenges them to find out the activities carried out in agribusiness management, the functions of these activities and factors to consider in agribusiness management via an internet search. Learners then make a presentation on how to harness the factors that affect the establishment of agricultural development to promote agribusiness. All learners should be encouraged to take part in the presentation. The teacher should monitor learners to ensure that they use the
right websites. Where necessary, the teacher should support learners with the right websites.
Think-pair-share: Learners individually think about the activities carried out in agribusiness management, the functions of these activities and factors to consider in agribusiness management and share with a peer in their group. They then surf the internet or watch a video on the activities carried out in agribusiness management. The teacher should support learners after surfing the internet or watching the video to use the activities observed to develop or establish a named animal or crop business e.g., Guinea fowl business or soybean business. The teacher should provide learners with all the necessary support they need to surf the internet or watch a video on how to develop a business plan.
