This mthamo highlights the value of patterns to develop mathematical thinking. Patterns permeate our lives, and it is useful to explore them with our learners as we study mathematics together.

The main focus of this umthamo is to explore alternative ways to teach and facilitate the learning of mathematics in primary classrooms.

This umthamo continues the discussion started in the previous umthamo on cluster development.

Lo mthamo asks you to take whole school development out into the broader context of the community of schools in your district.

The current umthamo focuses on curriculum change in South Africa.

There are a number of ways of looking at curriculum and the issues central to thinking about curriculum and what and how learners should learn. In lo mthamo, we will ask you to look at curriculum by examining what you do in your classroom.

In this umthamo, we will look at how education changes as society changes, and as different groups of people gain power.
