For South African Teachers · CAPS Grade 8–9

Made to make sense.

Speca writes slides, worksheets, mark schemes and quizzes to the CAPS Senior Phase Mathematics curriculum, with SEN-friendly design built in from the first slide instead of bolted on as an afterthought. All 21 Grade 8–9 topics, written in South African notation.

Free plan: 3 full lesson bundles a month. No card required. Pro is R99/month when you need more.

app.speca.co.uk · Slides
A Speca CAPS slide: Grade 8 VAT worked example. A furniture set priced at R7 200 before VAT, VAT at 15%, worked in four numbered steps to R8 280,00, with a note that you multiply by 1,15 and never subtract 15% when working backwards.

A real slide from the Financial Mathematics bundle , not a mockup. This is the design standard on every Speca slide, free tier included.

Planning a full Senior Phase Maths topic (slides, worksheet, memo, assessment) is an evening’s work. Speca does the first draft.

21 / 21

Every one of the 21 CAPS Grade 8–9 Maths topics is built and independently rechecked. That is the full Senior Phase, not a sample. SEN-friendly design is on every slide as standard, never a paid extra.

Built to the CAPS Senior Phase Mathematics curriculum, Grade 8 and Grade 9.

Why Speca, not another AI lesson tool

Most tools generate generic content and relabel it for whatever curriculum you ask for. Speca doesn’t.

1

Written to your actual spec

Genuinely mapped to the CAPS Senior Phase Mathematics curriculum, topic by topic. Not UK content relabelled for South Africa.

3

Built to be remembered

Quizzes and starter/exit tickets are spaced and interleaved on retrieval-practice principles, not one-and-done.

One topic. A full lesson bundle.

Everything you'd normally spend an evening building, generated to spec in minutes.

The details that tell a learner this was made for their classroom.

Decimal comma

12,7 cm, never 12.7

Rand throughout

Financial Maths in R, with VAT at 15%

CAPS notation

Coordinates as A(3;-4); congruence as S;S;S, S,A,S, A,A,S, R,H,S

Compass directions

S 45° E. No three-figure bearings, which CAPS doesn’t use

No trigonometry

It starts in Grade 10. Nothing here foreshadows it.

Grade 8 & 9, not tiers

A grade progression, never “Foundation” and “Higher”

All 21 topics are built from our own in-house CAPS topic maps, never copied from the CAPS document or any textbook, and every one has been through an independent recheck pass that found and fixed real errors. A teacher has not signed them off individually, so give them your usual read before class.

It isn’t just a download library.

Your account includes these from day one, on the free plan too. They work on any topic, including ones we haven’t built a bundle for.

Make a resource for any topic

Pick a topic and get slides, a worksheet or a quiz built for it. Teaching something outside the ready-made set? Speca writes it from scratch, grounded in our own CAPS topic maps.

Mark a student’s answerNew

Photograph the working on your phone. Speca reads it, shows you what it read so you can correct anything, then marks it against that question’s own mark scheme and explains the gap.

Adapt slides you already use

Upload a deck you teach from and get an SEN-friendly version back: chunked, dual-coded, worked examples before practice. Any subject, any curriculum.

Can you actually put your learners’ work into this?

The honest answers, and where to go and check them yourself.

A real, registered company, and we say where your data sits

Speca Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 17432536, registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office as a data controller (ICO:00015578248). Speca is a UK company and your account data is held in London, under UK data protection law. Both registers are public, so you can check us.

We do not keep your work

The deck you upload, the answer you photograph for marking, the resource that comes back: none of it is written to our database or our file storage. There is no operation anywhere in Speca that saves what you put in. It is processed, returned to you, and gone.

No learner data, and no tracking at all

We hold your email address, your plan, and a log of which topics you used. That is essentially it. There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel and no Google tag on this page or in the app. Open your browser’s developer tools and see for yourself.

Your content is not used to train AI models

We do not use your content to train anything. Our AI provider’s commercial terms state that content submitted through its business API is not used to train its models either.

We are not going to show you badges we have not earned. Speca has no SOC 2 audit and no ISO certification, and we would rather tell you that than leave you to assume otherwise. What we do have is everything above, plus a privacy policy that names every single company that touches your data and exactly what each one receives.
