  • Guidelines for Teaching Numeracy: Foundation Phase

    This programme provides Grade 1, 2 and 3 educators with: * a progression of appropriate activities that introduce young learners to the basic mathematical understanding, knowledge and skills that they should develop during their early schooling; * ideas and examples of interesting practice activities that will help learners consolidate and extend their understanding and skills; *... more

  • Calculus of Several Variables (Analysis 2)

    This module provides an example of 2nd year disciplinary content knowledge development for a Mathematics teacher. The example shows the alignment between course design (overview), content development and examples (learning units) and assessment (Activities 1.1 and 1.2). more

  • University of Fort Hare Distance Education Project. Core Learning Areas Course: Mathematics. Umthamo 5 Developing and Using Number Concepts

    In this umthamo we ask:"How do learners think about number?' We explore learners' thinking. And begin to start the process of thinking more carefully about how young children develop their mathematical ideas, skills, and attitudes. more

  • University of Fort Hare Distance Education Project. Core Learning Areas Course: Mathematical Literacy, Mathematics and Mathematical Science. Umthamo 6: Dealing with Data: Using Data to Interact with our Social and Natural Environment

    This mthamo deals with ideas of how to teach data better. It introduces you to some ideas and approaches for a new area of the primary mathematics curriculum called data handling. Some of the questions that will be explored are: * What is data? Where do we find data? Why is data handling important. There will be activities that include: * Using a model, or process of stages as a basis for... more

  • University of Fort Hare Distance Education Project. Core Learning Areas Course: Mathematical Literacy, Mathematics and Mathematical Science. Umthamo 5: Shaping Teaching to Make Space for Learning

    The main focus here is on reshaping our own ways of teaching, in order to allow learners to have space to explore and investigate mathematics. This is more likely to change our learners' attitudes towards mathematics. If maths is fun and exciting their attitude to mathematics is more likely to be positive. more

  • University of Fort Hare Distance Education Project. Core Learning Areas Course: Mathematical Literacy, Mathematics and Mathematical Science. Umthamo 3: Maths - Language

    This umthamo takes the teachers through a process of engaging with their learners on the language of mathematics. Once the umthamo is completed you will have: * experienced for yourself what it is like to think and talk about an aspect of Maths, and you will have a sense of the importance of creating opportunities for Maths talk in the classroom * read several transcripts of teachers... more
