Year Plan for FET Maths on a Calendar - Use It!

I'm starting teaching again next year after being out of a conventional classroom for the last 3 years. (To see some of what I've been up to, go to my blogs here, here, here and here at Mindset Teach or view the Maths and Maths Lit content at Mindset Learn) At Mindset, we do almost everything on Google Drive, and it's awesome. I don't want to go back to working on paper, and so I've decided to do most of my planning and work using Google Drive and other Android Apps. I've based this decision solely on the fact that these are the platforms most accessible to me. But anyway, enough about that and on to the interesting thing.

I've spent some time putting the CAPS pacesetter on a calendar. I've only focused on FET Maths as this is what I'll be teaching next year, but I have done a calendar for both the inland and coastal school term dates, as well as for the IEB 3 term system. I've made them all public, which means you can copy these dates to your calendar too! Best of all, inside each calendar event, you'll find a link to the CAPS or IEB document which stipulates what needs to be taught in that section. All you have to do is figure out which type of file you need and download it.

It appears that there is one week short in term 1 to cope with the content laid out in CAPS. That was an interesting move by the DBE. Sometimes I wonder... Anyway...

I've had to shift around the schedule a bit to make it all fit, so please check the IEB document for the correct order.

I hope these help in your planing. Actually, I hope they help me in my planning!

Much love.
