Why Grade 6 Maths Matters
Grade 6 builds on key concepts from earlier grades and deepens understanding in number operations, fractions, decimals, and basic algebra. Learners are introduced to more complex problem-solving, data handling, geometry, and measurement.
This year focuses on applying strategies, improving reasoning, and explaining thinking clearly. Strong maths foundations in Grade 6 boost confidence and prepare learners for the senior phase.

Monthly plans give access to all 4 terms but only while your subscription is active.
Is there any difference in features between the plans?
All plans include concept videos, example videos, video memos, and emailed progress reports. The main difference is access duration and term coverage.

Yes. Both CAPS (DBE) and IEB monthly plans give full access to all 4 terms of content while subscribed.
Can I cancel the monthly subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel the CAPS (DBE) or IEB monthly plan at any time. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
