Prince, Robert; Frith, Vera – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In South Africa many school-leavers are underprepared for higher education, especially in academic literacies, including numeracy. It is important for higher education to identify the students most vulnerable to failure in coping with the numeracy demands of the curriculum, so that resources available for interventions can be most fairly used. To…

Askew, Mike – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
This paper is centred around a framework for studying teaching--Mediating Primary Mathematics (MPM)--developed in the context of the teaching of Whole Number Arithmetic (WNA) in South Africa. Findings from the analysis of four WNA lessons are used to illustrate how the application of the MPM framework can measure nuanced differences in the…

Venkat, Hamsa; Mathews, Corin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
In this paper we analyze the outcomes of a design experiment that sought to improve the multiplicative reasoning of 12-13 year-old learners across two schools in a South African context of low performance. Using a hybrid theoretical base in Realistic Mathematics Education, variation theory and analogical reasoning, a short-term intervention…

Venkat, Hamsa; Winter, Mark – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
In this paper, we share analysis of an episode of a pre-service teacher's handling of a map artefact within his practicum teaching of "Mathematical Literacy" in South Africa. Mathematical Literacy, as a post-compulsory phase subject in the South African curriculum, shares many of the aims of numeracy as described in the international…
