Math Literacy • Grades 10–12 • CAPS Aligned
Mathematics Literacy
Practical, real-world Maths support for learners who need confidence and consistency — without the pressure of abstract theory. We support learners to succeed in Math Lit or transition from core Maths (where appropriate).
What We Fix in Mathematics Literacy
Math Lit marks often drop because learners misread questions, don’t choose the correct method, or lose marks through poor presentation.
- ✓Question interpretation (what is being asked, what data matters)
- ✓Method selection (steps per question type)
- ✓Accuracy & units (rounding, conversions, correct units)
- ✓Time management and exam structure
What Improvement Looks Like
When learners follow a consistent method and complete practice, improvement usually shows quickly — more marks from accuracy, interpretation, and structure.
- ✓Cleaner working, better layout, fewer careless losses
- ✓More confidence reading and interpreting exam questions
- ✓Improved scores within 8–12 weeks (with consistency)
Positioning
Math Literacy is a legitimate CAPS subject. For many learners it is the most suitable pathway — practical, applied, and exam-driven. We support learners to succeed whether they are strengthening Math Lit or transitioning from pure Maths.
Parent Assurance
This is structured academic support — not ad hoc tutoring.
- ✓Small group model (max 15)
- ✓Twice-weekly sessions to maintain momentum
- ✓Homework and practice expectations built in
- ✓Monthly progress snapshot for parents
What Learners Need
- ✓Stable internet (WiFi or mobile data)
- ✓Phone / tablet (laptop preferred)
- ✓Gmail account for Google Classroom
- ✓Calculator + ruler + notebook
How the Math Literacy Programme Works
A consistent structure that improves results and makes progress visible.
CAPS Coverage Focus
Math Literacy is exam-structured. We prioritise the topics and question types that reliably appear in assessments.
- ✓Finance: budgets, VAT, interest, inflation
- ✓Data handling: tables, graphs, interpretation
- ✓Measurement: area, volume, conversions
- ✓Maps & scale, plans and time
- ✓Probability & ratio (where applicable)

Is Math Literacy easier than Mathematics?
It’s different. It is more applied and context-based, but still requires strong method, careful reading, and consistent practice.
Can a learner switch from Maths to Math Literacy?
Many learners do, depending on school policy and timing. If you’re considering a change, WhatsApp us and we’ll advise the best approach.
How many lessons does my child get per month?
Math Literacy runs twice per week, giving 8 sessions per month. Each session is 60 minutes.
How do parents track progress?
We provide a monthly progress snapshot so parents can see attendance, focus areas, and where improvement is showing.
