Why Grade 9 Maths Matters
Grade 9 consolidates key concepts from earlier grades and introduces more advanced topics in algebra, geometry, data handling, patterns, and exponents. Learners deepen their understanding of equations and problem-solving strategies.
This year builds stronger mathematical reasoning and prepares learners for high school by developing confidence in interpreting data, solving abstract problems, and applying maths to real-life contexts.

FAQs
What’s the difference between the once-off and monthly plans?
The once-off payment gives lifetime access to a single term’s content.
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.
Does the monthly plan include all term content?
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.
If I buy the once-off DBE plan, can I choose which term I want?
Yes. You can select any one of the four terms (Term 1, 2, 3, or 4) when purchasing the once-off CAPS (DBE) plan
Are the IEB worksheets available as a once-off payment?
No. IEB content is only available through the monthly subscription which gives access to all terms.
Do I need to pay again if I buy the once-off DBE plan?
No. It’s a one-time payment that gives lifetime access to the selected term’s content — no monthly fees.
Which plan includes IEB-aligned content?
Only the IEB monthly plan includes content aligned with IEB standards. The CAPS (DBE) plans are for CAPS/DBE-aligned content only.
Is there a free trial before I choose a plan?
We don’t offer free trials, but you can preview a few questions on our demo page to see how the system works.
