Academic Mathematics in the Foundation Phase: A Dynamic Start to the Year

The module Academic Mathematics in the Foundation Phase (JGS 212) is advocating for the integration of everyday objects as manipulatives, making mathematics teaching and learning accessible to all. This innovative approach engages second-year foundation phase students in exploring creative strategies to incorporate these manipulatives into their lessons.

Interactive Learning Outdoors
The academic year began with an engaging outdoor lecture, where students enthusiastically discussed and practiced incorporating everyday items into their teaching methods. This hands-on experience not only enriched their understanding but also fostered a collaborative learning environment.

Their enthusiasm and active participation set a positive tone for the rest of the term.

Stay tuned for more updates on how these interactive strategies are transforming mathematics education in the foundation phase!
