Dear Teacher
The National State of Disaster due to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the disruption
of Education in South Africa and the loss of valuable teaching time and disruption of the
school calendar.
As a result of this, the DBE has created and released revised Annual Teaching Plans (ATPs)
to assist schools and teachers in ensuring the 2021 school year is completed. The 2021
ATPs are based on the revised ATPs that were developed in 2020. It is important to note
that fundamental and core topics are retained in the 2021 ATPs. Some of the strategies that
have been used in the process of developing the 2021 DBE ATPs are:
At Pearson South Africa, we believe that education is the key to every individuals’ success.
To ensure that despite the challenges, teachers and learners can meet all the necessary
learning outcomes for the year, we have created the Navigation Guide, a free resource to
support teachers and learners during this challenging time.
The Navigation Pack aims to summarise and highlight the changes in the 2021 DBE ATP
and provide teachers and learners with worksheets that focus on impacted topics in the
curriculum.
Due to resequencing of topics, the order of topics in the textbook that is currently
used in the classroom may not be aligned to the new sequence of topics in the ATP.
The Navigation Pack has a set of assessments based on the Section 4 changes
and the revised assessment guidelines.
Introduction 5
COVID-19 safety guidelines for teachers and
learners
Gatherings at school
Where schools are open for learning, it is up to management to take decisive action to
ensure sites are not simultaneously used for other functions such as shelters or treatment
units in order to reduce the risk.
Implement social distancing practices that may include:
• A staggered timetable, where teachers and learners do not arrive/leave at the same
time for the beginning and end of the school day.
• Cancelling any community meetings/events such as assemblies, cake sales, market d y,
tuckshop, after-care classes, matric dance, Eisteddfod and other events.
• Cancelling any extra-mural activities such as ballet classes, swimming lessons, sport
games, music class and other events that create a crowd gathering.
• Teaching and modeling creating space and avoiding unnecessary touching.
• Limiting movement and interaction between classes.
• Schools with an established feeding scheme plan are to ensure that hygiene and social
distancing is always implemented. Teachers and staff members assisting with food
• distribution are to wear masks, sanitise prior to issuing food items and learners are to
stand 1,5m apart in the queue.
1. Restrooms/toilets
Hand washing
• eating
• entering the classroom
• using the toilet
• blowing your nose or coughing
• touching tears, mucous, saliva, blood or sweat.
When schools open, classroom settings should be altered in order to promote hygiene,
safety and social distancing.
Social distancing
Introduction 7
3. Social behaviour
It is extremely vital during a pandemic that focus is not only directed towards optimal
physical health and hygiene but fi nding ways to facilitate mental health support.

Definition of integers
An integer can be described as a whole number which is not a fraction. Integers are negative
whole numbers, positive whole numbers and zero.
–10 –9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Adding integers
Rule 1: Adding negative integers are done similarly to adding positive integers.
Example: −3 − (+5)
= −3 – 5
= −8
Properties of addition for integers
The commutative property: This property states that the order of adding numbers does not
matter, the result will stay the same. Example: (−7) + 4 = 4 + (−7) = –3
The associative property: This property states that grouping numbers when adding does not
matter, the result will stay the same. Example: (−2 + 3) + 5 = (−2 + 5) + 3 = 6

Content summary
Learners should know the following content:
Number sentences
Write number sentences to describe problems situations.
Analyse and interpret number sentences that describe a given situation.
Identify variables and constants in a given formula or equation.
Solve and complete number sentences by:
• inspection
• trial and improvement.
Solve equations by substitution.
Terminology
A variable is a letter used for a quantity that may change. This letter or symbol represents an
unknown number in a problem statement.
A coefficient is the number in front of a variable. It is the number by which the variable is
multiplied.
Constants are the numbers in an equation that do not have a variable.
Example:
2x + 3 = 4y + 2
Coefficient Variable Constant
Coefficient Variable Constant
Substitution
When we substitute, we use one thing in place of another thing.
Example:
If y = 3x2 + 8, find the value of y when x = 2.
y = 3 × (2)2 + 8
y = 12 + 8
y = 20
