About this class

About Primary Seven mathematics

In Grade 7, learners following CAPS work with negative numbers and powers, simplify expressions and solve equations, use ratio and proportion, and reason about angles, area and statistics. Grade 7 is the first year of the Senior Phase and the final year of primary school. 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.
