Toolkits
Deep dives on the ideas that show up everywhere. Each one starts with why the idea exists at all — the problem it was invented to solve, what it actually does, and where it turns up outside a classroom — and then goes through it properly: the full explanation, the table you actually need, worked examples, and the mistakes that cost marks.
Number
One number, three ways
Fractions, decimals and percents are one amount written three ways. Converting, the benchmarks worth knowing, why some decimals repeat, comparing, and the circle-graph angle.

Patterns and relations
Keep it balanced
An equation is a balance: what the equals sign really says, doing the same to both sides, zero pairs, undoing in reverse order, and checking by substitution.

How to use these
- Wondering why any of this is a thing? Read the opening section. It is the part a textbook usually skips.
- Stuck on a question type? Open the toolkit for that idea and find the worked example closest to it.
- Revising? Read the tables and try the checks, then go to practice questions to see whether it stuck.
- Reviewing for a unit test? There is no provincial test in Grade 7, so your teacher sets the tests — the printable worksheets and a mixed quiz are the closest thing here to sitting one.
