Ace Maths Unit One: Exploring What It Means to 'Do' Mathematics (pdf)
This unit gives a historical background to mathematics education in South Africa, to outcomes-based education and to the national curriculum statement for mathematics. The traditional approach to teaching mathematics is then contrasted with an approach to teaching mathematics that focuses on ?doing? mathematics, and mathematics as a science of pattern and order, in which learners actively... more
