A case study of how learners apply a Grade 10 study skills module in a mathematics class
Arnold, Feeroezah (University of the Western Cape, 2016)A qualitative case study was used to investigate how learners apply a study skills guide during the teaching of mathematics content in a Grade 10 class. A great amount of research and money is continually spent focussing ... -
A comparison of grade 8 to10 urban and peri-urban learners context preferences for mathematical literacy
Blaauw, Christopher (University of the Western Cape, 2009)The study explored the comparison of grade 8 to 10 urban and peri-urban learners' contexts preferences in mathematical literacy. There is currently a strong emphasis on the use of contexts for school mathematics. This has ... -
The contexts which Namibian learners in grades 8 to 10 prefer to use in mathematics
Shifula, Loide Ndahafa (University of the Western Cape, 2012)One of the key ideas in the research on mathematics education is that the mathematical knowledge that learners acquire is strongly tied to the particular situation in which it is learnt. This study investigated the contexts ... -
Implementing an intentional teaching model to investigate grade 9 learners’ ways of working with rational algebraic fractions
Maphini, Nwabisa Vivian (University of the Western Cape, 2019)In South Africa it is widely known that most learners struggle with mathematics. The results for mathematics are poor. The department of basic education offers a number of intervention programmes to assist learners in ... -
Implementing an intentional teaching model to investigate the algebraic reasoning of grade 9 mathematics learners
Davids, Jade Ethel (University of the Western Cape, 2019)This research has employed an intentional teaching model to investigate the algebraic reasoning of grade 9 learners from a low socio-economic background. It has also sought to study how learners engage with algebra to make ... -
Investigating the impact of an intervention programme in a Grade 11 mathematics class : a case study
Mnqwazi, Xabiso Priceless (University of the Western Cape, 2015)The general performance of learners in mathematics in most secondary schools in South Africa is not encouraging. Statistics reveal that there is a general poor performance in mathematics and related science subjects ... -
Investigation of learners’ ways of working with algebraic graphs in high-stakes mathematics examinations
Lumbala, Paul Desire Mutombo (University of the Western Cape, 2015-11)Algebraic graphs are a difficult topic for most secondary school mathematics learners. My experience as a Mathematics teacher in the Further Education and Training Phase (FET) is that learners solve problems involving ...
