An analysis of mathematical modelling competencies of grade 11 learners in solving word problems involving quadratic equations
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This study analysed the modelling competencies of grade 11 learners and also explored the degree to which the learners’ competency in setting up a mathematical model inhibits the development of an acceptable solution for ...
Investigating the effects of continuous professional development on ICT integration in the classroom of Foundation Phase Mathematics
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The use of technology is becoming the norm in the 21st century classroom to enhance teaching and learning. This rapid move to incorporate technology in the classroom brought the need for teachers to be upskilled on the use ...
Effects of a mathematics teaching strategy based on distributed interleaved practice on procedural and conceptual knowledge
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
This study investigated the effects a teaching strategy based on interleaved distributed practice had on learners in three grade 6 classes’ procedural and conceptual knowledge within a, previously disadvantaged, Cape Town ...
Exploring Grade 9 Mathematics learners learning of congruency based proofs in geometry via a web-based learning system
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Globally, research and evaluation reports show that students are not learning
congruency-based proofs, as part of the Geometry section of mathematics, efficiently.
One identifier of student understanding related to ...
