Video lessons & learning tools for grades 7, 8 & 9

This resource is comprised of video-lessons that follow the South African curriculum and are complemented with short assignments (self-marking). The lessons are on YouTube and do not require any registration or fees. Please follow the steps in the next section to start learning.

How does the resource work?

Step 1:

Get a workbook and pen ready so that you can take notes while you watch the video-lesson.

Step 2:

Watch the video-lessons in chronological order. You may want to watch them twice, first to get an overall picture and then again slowly, pausing to take notes. To watch them on YouTube, start by choosing the correct playlist. Alternatively, watch them on our website by clicking on the "Video-lessons" tab.

Step 3:

Complete the corresponding assignments and assessments along the way.

Step 4:

If you did poorly in the assessment, re-watch the video-lessons and revert to your textbook to get a better understanding of the term's work.
