Grade 8 homework help, in line with CAPS

Grade 8 is in the Senior Phase (Grades 7 to 9). New subjects like Technology and EMS start, Life Skills becomes Life Orientation, and maths moves to algebra. Slimkop helps your child understand the method, not just finish the worksheet.

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 8 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 8 exam of 70 marks in 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Daily reading: a new Grade 8 comprehension story every day, about 1 400 to 1 600 words, with 10 questions.
  • Built on the official CAPS documents, plus free DBE workbooks and Siyavula textbooks.

How Slimkop helps a Grade 8 learner

An example Grade 8 Maths lesson. The child gives every answer; Slimkop asks the next question.

  1. SlimkopSolve with me: 3x + 5 = 20.
  2. Childx = 5
  3. SlimkopNice! How did you get x = 5?
  4. ChildSubtract 5, then divide by 3
  5. SlimkopYes! x = 5, and you checked it. Undo the last step first, and do the same to both sides. That works for every equation like this.
