Potgieter, Pieter; Blignaut, Pieter – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2018
The Department of Basic Education in South Africa has identified factorisation as a problem area in Mathematics teaching. Learners in earlier grades are exposed to mathematical tasks, involving concepts, such as factors of integers, fractions, equivalent fractions and prime numbers, that are easier to solve when the divisibility rules are applied.…

Vermeulen, Cornelis; Meyer, Bronwin – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2017
This article reports on a study that investigated the extent to which 57 Grade 6 students at a particular school have misconceptions regarding equality, with the equal sign as focus. It also investigated this school's three Grade 5 and 6 teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching regarding equality, again focusing on the equal sign. The…

Christiansen, Iben Maj; Aungamuthu, Yougan – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2013
Learning or performance gains are often measured in improvements of test scores over time. However, learners may also answer questions incorrectly which they appeared to master previously, making claims about overall learning gains problematic. Using data from 1,211 grade 6 learners in the Umgungundlovu district in KwaZulu-Natal, we interrogated…

Mayaba, Nokhanyo; Otterup, Tore; Webb, Paul – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2013
Problems of poor performance in science and mathematics education have been related to language deficiencies, including writing skills. Writing to learn science is an important skill but is not easy to acquire, especially when children learn in a second language. In order to investigate possibilities for developing writing in South African and…

du Plessis, André; Webb, Paul – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011
This study focuses on Grade 6 learners' perceptions of 'learning as design' during the creation of a collaborative hypermedia product. Data were generated via a Likert Scale questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, learner journals, observational notes, Task Elicitation List, Task Ranking List and open-ended learner evaluation reports. The…
