CAPS · Grade 3

Grade 3 homework help, in line with CAPS

Grade 3 is the last year of the Foundation Phase. Children are still building the basics: reading for meaning, number facts and writing in full sentences. Slimkop works in short steps with simple words, and every step comes from your child.

The one rule

Slimkop never gives the answer. It asks the question that helps your child work it out, and a right answer only counts once they can explain it.

What your Grade 3 child gets

  • Help with homework and projects in every subject, step by step. Slimkop never gives the answer: your child works it out.
  • A photo of the homework is enough to start.
  • Mock exams: a quick test (5 questions, 20 minutes) or a full Grade 3 exam of 25 marks in 45 minutes.
  • Daily reading: a new Grade 3 comprehension story every day, about 550 to 700 words, with 10 questions.
  • Built on the official CAPS documents, plus free DBE workbooks and Siyavula textbooks.
  • In English or Afrikaans: your child picks.
  • In Parent view you see every chat, the time spent and the marks per CAPS topic.

How Slimkop helps a Grade 3 learner

An example Grade 3 Maths lesson. The child gives every answer; Slimkop asks the next question.

  1. SlimkopLet's do one together. What is 7 + 8?
  2. Child14
  3. SlimkopClose! Let's make it easier. 7 needs how many more to make 10?
  4. Child3
  5. SlimkopYes! So we take 3 from the 8 to make the 10. How much is left of the 8?
  6. Child5
  7. SlimkopRight. So now we have 10 and 5. What is 10 + 5?
  8. Child15
  9. SlimkopYes! 15. You used a clever trick: make a 10 first, then add what's left. It works for 8 + 9 and 6 + 7 too.
