Umugiraneza, Odette; Bansilal, Sarah; North, Delia – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2018
What teachers teach, how they teach it and when they teach it should be guided by the curriculum. This paper focuses on teachers' reports about how they integrate the curriculum documentation in teaching mathematics and statistics concepts. Questionnaires containing both Likert scale and closed and open-ended questions were administered to 75…

Kazunga, Cathrine; Bansilal, Sarah – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016
Ratio and proportion have many daily life applications and hence form an important part of the Mathematical Literacy (ML) curriculum in South African schools. The purpose of this study was to explore ML teachers' application of ratio in an assessment task with multiple measure spaces set within the real-life context of the need to establish the…

Mbonambi, Martin Sipho; Bansilal, Sarah – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2014
The purpose of this study was to explore and compare the proficiency of Grade 11 Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy (ML) learners in solving two problems based on the temperature conversion formula. The first was a result-unknown problem that asks for the result of a formula for a given input. The second was a start-unknown problem in which the…

Bansilal, Sarah; Debba, Rajan – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2012
Mathematical Literacy was introduced in South African schools as a subject driven by life-related applications of mathematics. The design of assessment tasks for Mathematical Literacy (with its emphasis on real-life contexts) has created a new set of demands, not usually encountered in typical mathematics tasks. The purpose of this qualitative…
