MATHEMATICS GRADE 8 TEXTBOOK MIND ACTION SERIES

When the latest Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) was made available, most educators and authors were still in the dark as to the exact extent of the content to be covered.
There was also a level of uncertainty as to how the content should be presented. Textbooks had to be produced based on limited information. As a result, an increasing number of educators found themselves having to supplement textbooks with additional notes.
After carefully observing examination trends and teaching the curriculum over the last number of years, the authoring team of Mind Action Series Mathematics have started on a project of revising our textbooks to alleviate the problems previously faced by Mathematic Educators.
Content has been better structured, more up-to-date examples and exercises have been provided, chapters dealing with difficult topics have been improved and a broader range of typical exam questions has been included. The language has been kept accessible, yet Mathematically correct.
We recommend our new series to educators and learners across the country in the belief that:
- it will help educators get through the curriculum more effectively
- it will enable educators to teach traditionally awkward topics (such as Probability theory, Statistics,
Functions and Euclidean Geometry) with greater ease
- it will greatly reduce the need for additional notes
- it will be easier for learners to follow
- it will prepare learners better for examinations
We proudly present our New Mind Action Series Mathematics textbooks to each learner and educator in
South Africa, certain that it will be of great benefit to all users.
