Dear Educator
Complete learner workbooks now available as collections
Siyavula is excited to let you know that we have created complete learner workbooks from the modules available on Connexions. These workbooks cover four terms worth of theory, examples and exercises an are ready to download, print and hand-out to your learners. There are workbooks for most of the subjects in both English and Afrikaans. I attached two pictures of what the Grade 4 maths workbook looks like on the Connexions site and downloaded as a .pdf.
Please download your subject’s complete workbook!
We invite you to search for the workbook which relates to your grade and subject and download it as a .pdf. Try printing it out as a reference in class or source of alternative examples and exercises.
Join a workgroup and collaborate on adapting it.
If you are not yet part of a workgroup, please join a workgroup where you can post questions or ask for help. You can discuss changes to the workbook or share your own material. One person make a copy of the collection for your learning area/grade and add it to the workgroup. Send out an email to all group members asking them to take a look at it and post in the forum their likes and dislikes about the workbook. Have a meeting to discuss how you'd like to change it / improve it / contextualise it and then work as a team to make a better workbook you can all use next year!
Example 1: Collection in Connexions
See the Table to Contents on the Grade 4 maths workbook below. The workbook is split into four terms and each term has a number of sections or topics.
Example 2: Collection downloaded as a .pdf
See the Table to Contents on the Grade 4 maths workbook below. This .pdf file contains all the pages in the collection in a single file, ready for print.
How to find the workbook for your subject and grade
Go to the Siyavula lenses at http://siyavula.cnx.org/lenses/siyavula and open the learning area you fall under. In this case it would be Siyavula: Mathematics (Gr. 4-6).
Search for it like you normally do, but as a search ‘CRITERIA’ use ‘COURSE’ and the ‘RESOURCE TYPE’. See example below:
