About this class
About Primary Six mathematics
In Grade 6, learners following CAPS multiply and divide fractions and decimals, solve percentage and ratio problems, meet simple algebra, and calculate area, volume and averages. It is part of the Intermediate Phase (Grades 4–6). Boldungu breaks each topic into short sets of interactive questions so children can practise one skill at a time and come back to anything that needs more work.
