How to use the grid

2. 2. Download the term DOCX you are teaching.
3. 3. Check the ATP callout below so the pack’s week order matches the retained national sequence your school follows.
4. 4. Keep baseline and subject CAPS pages bookmarked for assessment and policy detail.

Current ATPs and CAPS (confirm on the hubs)

• ATPs: DBE retains the 2023/24 Annual Teaching Plans for later years with exclusions (Circular S19 of 2025). Open Mathematics from the official hub and confirm the live file: DBE ATP hub (2023ATPs).
• CAPS statements: DBE CAPS hub.aspx) (Foundation Phase section).

Match your term pack to the ATP sequence your school is following — these hosted files are planning support, not a substitute for the official ATP or your district’s directives.
