Maths Lit tutoring
Online Maths Lit tutoring with every topic taught step by step by GradesPal tutors. Every Grade 12 Mathematical Literacy topic, taught step by step with graphs, tables and illustrations: finance, measurement, maps and plans, data handling and probability, tied to real past-paper questions with memos and mock papers.
What this subject covers
The GradesPal Grade 12 Mathematical Literacy subject covers both examination papers in eleven modules: Basic skills, Finance (tariffs, budgets and break-even; interest, banking and inflation; tax, VAT and exchange rates), Measurement (conversions and time; perimeter, area and volume; rates, speed, temperature and mass), Maps and plans, Data handling and Probability, finishing with an Exam preparation module. Every module teaches the skill from first principles in everyday contexts, draws the graphs, tables and diagrams the papers use, walks through worked examples that you can reveal one step at a time, then lets you test yourself with a quiz and with real questions, with memos, from the National Senior Certificate papers on GradesPal. The last module adds timed mock papers, a conversions and formula sheet, and a guide to the command words and the mistakes that cost marks.
