Good notes save a learner hours: everything for the term in one place, in clear language, with the diagrams and practice questions that textbooks spread across many pages. This page lists every set of learner notes on Elimu254, grade by grade, and explains what is inside them so you can choose with confidence.
What is inside each notes book
- Every sub-strand of the year. One book covers Terms 1, 2 and 3 of one subject, in the order of the KICD curriculum design.
- Explanations at the learner's level. Short paragraphs, key terms in boxes, and comparison tables where two ideas are easily confused.
- Diagrams drawn for the notes. Labelled cells, circuits, maps, number lines and graphs, clear enough to print or photocopy in black and white.
- Worked examples in Mathematics and the sciences, every step shown.
- Key points to remember at the end of each topic, for quick revision.
- Practice questions with answers. Multiple-choice questions where the national assessment uses them, and structured questions with marks.
How the notes are written and checked
Each book is written topic by topic against the current KICD curriculum design for that grade and subject, using the design's own strands, sub-strands and numbering. Every calculation is worked through and checked, every scale and figure rechecked, and religious education notes summarise scripture neutrally.

Several topics are free to read on this blog, for example Grade 9 Structure of the Atom, Grade 8 Rates, Ratio and Percentages and Grade 10 Cell Structure. The full books are written the same way.

Which notes does my child need?
- Lower primary (Grades 1 to 3): short notes a parent can read with the child. Start with Mathematics and English.
- Upper primary (Grades 4 to 6): notes for each learning area help with homework and with KPSEA preparation in Grade 6.
- Junior School (Grades 7 to 9): Mathematics, Integrated Science and English carry the most weight; Grade 9 learners should have notes for every KJSEA subject. See our Grade 9 KJSEA notes guide.
- Senior School (Grades 10 and 11): pick the subjects in your pathway. Senior School notes are more detailed and include more structured questions.
