Possessing mathematical competence is a pre requisite for independently comprehending, understanding and applying all features of mathematical modelling in a particular setting. This research study thus explores the mathematical modelling competencies that Grade 10 learners exhibit while solving contextual problems in a mathematics learning and…

Nadia M. Theba; Craig Pournara; Shikha Takker – Pythagoras, 2024
Developing structure sense is an important part of learning algebra. We investigated learners' structure sense of algebraic expressions involving brackets. This led us to propose the constructs "surface structure" sense and "systemic structure" sense. Using a random sample of 58 Grade 10 learners scoring above 40% in a test, we…

Mabotja, Samuel; Chuene, Kabelo; Maoto, Satsope; Kibirige, Israel – Pythagoras, 2018
This article uses parts of qualitative data from the first author's study that focused on exploring Pirie and Kieren's process of "folding back," revisiting previously held understandings of a concept for its extended understanding in order to solve the problem of enhancing Grade 10 learners' reasoning in geometry. In South Africa,…

Mellor, Kathryn; Clark, Robyn; Essien, Anthony A. – Pythagoras, 2018
Textbook content has the ability to influence mathematical learning. This study compares how linear functions are presented in two textbooks, one of South African and the other of German origin. These two textbooks are used in different language-based streams in a school in Gauteng, South Africa. A qualitative content analysis on how the topic of…

Machaba, France M. – Pythagoras, 2016
This article focuses on learners' understanding and their descriptions of the concepts of area and perimeter, how learners solve problems involving area and perimeter and the relationship between them and misconceptions, and the causes of these misconceptions as revealed by learners when solving these problems. A written test was administered to…

Dhlamini, Joseph; Mogari, David – Pythagoras, 2013
In this study, we investigated the effects of a group approach versus a non-group approach on the mathematics performance of learners. A group approach refers to an arrangement in which learners sit together to discuss and solve mathematics tasks. We studied a convenience sample of low-performing Grade 10 mathematics learners using a…
