Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between “Concept Videos” and “Video Memos”?
Concept Videos are short videos where explains a new topic (e.g., “How to do Long Division”) before your child attempts the work.
Video Memos are step-by-step corrections for the practice questions. If your child gets a question wrong on a worksheet or exam, they can watch the specific Video Memo to see exactly where they made a mistake.
2. Does this cover the whole year?
Yes! This is a complete curriculum solution. It includes worksheets for all topics taught from Term 1 to Term 4, plus specific Exam Preparation modules for the mid-year and end-of-year exams.
3. Is this suitable for homeschooling?
Absolutely. Because it includes the teaching component (Concept Videos) and the assessment component (Worksheets & Exams), it is a perfect standalone resource for homeschoolers following the CAPS/DBE syllabus.
4. Do I need to buy the Term 2 and Term 4 Exam Prep separately?
No. The Term 2 and Term 4 Exam Prep packages are included in this bundle price. You get the worksheets for the whole year, plus the specialized exam revision content.
5. How do the online exams work?
The exam sections simulate a real test environment. Your child completes the questions online within a set time limit. Once submitted, they get an instant mark, and they can immediately watch the video explanations for any questions they missed.
6. My child is struggling with Grade 8 Word Problems. Will this help?
Yes. Word problems (story sums) are a major focus in Grade 8. Our video memos are particularly helpful here because they don’t just show the answer — they read the problem out loud and show your child how to pick out the keywords and choose the right operation to solve it.
