Smart-Kids workbooks have been created especially for South African children. They are written according to the 2021 draft curriculum so theyre at exactly the right level for Grade 1 children. The policy sets out what children should be able to do in each school term. We have indicated this in the border of each activity. Weve designed the series so that it is easy to use. At the back of the book youll find notes on each activity as well as the answers. This will help you understand what skill or knowledge strand is being practised on each page. Weve also included the knowledge strand within the border of each activity. This will also help you see at a glance what the focus of the activity is. The colourful borders around each activity will help you identify similar kinds of activities. In this book we have used these border colours:

Pattern recognition and problem solving marked in blue
Algorithms and coding marked in red
Robotic skills marked in green
Internet and e-communication skills marked in yellow
Application skills marked in orange
