Curriculum Re-packaging the NCS curriculum?
Will this strategy solve the problem of learning and teaching mathematics?
Curriculum – a document of central importance It influences the mathematical experiences of children have
through the guidance and support for teachers. It should include the best that mathematics education research has to
offer. For example: Rational Number Project has done extensive analysis
applicable at all levels. Responsibility for the curriculum
Mathematicians together with mathematics education specialist and specialist teachers for sound knowledge base – the substantiveaspect of the curriculum.
Teachers are responsible for the technical-professional implementation of the curriculum.
Cycles of review and piloting are essential

Reference to TIMSS Frameworks, NCTM
frameworks, etc.
Macro System,

Core objectives,
attainment
levels,
Examinations
Broad ideas that are agreed on, the highest
requirements, lasting principles, based on
mathematically guided research
Meso School Mathematics
programmes for
an entire school
There is expertise among school mathematics
departments. ONLY if the MPC can produce a
better document than teachers should this role
be taken away from the teachers.
Micro Classroom,
teacher
Teaching plan,
instructional
materials,
textbooks
Planning is an essential component of teaching. It is
in the planning that the teacher consolidates her
thoughts and makes specific decisions regarding her
class.
Nano Learner Personal plan for
learning
In the higher grades and in some schools this level
may be taken seriously. We do not expect the
teacher to have a laid out plan for individual
learners.

Key transitions from Grade 6 to 10 (Usiskin, 2005) These are amongst others, from;
whole number to real number; number to variable; from patterns to functions; inductive arguments to deductive arguments; from informal description to formal definition of mathematics ideas; from a view of mathematics as a set of memorized facts to seeing
mathematics as interrelated ideas accessible through a variety of means. p. 4.
Because learners have not made these transitions they are "forced to memorize their way through algebra and geometry and
functions"; "expected to think formally but they do not know what this [thinking]
means"; "assumed to understand the properties of real numbers, but they are still
thinking in terms of whole numbers" (p. 4).
![Page 16: Pfs ss 131004160005-phpapp01](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a342a21a28ab004b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What does research tell us? Kieren tradition – analysis of mathematical concepts, investigates
acquisition by learners and conducts teaching design experiments with implications for instruction Kieren (1976). On the mathematical, cognitive and instructional
foundations of rational numbers.
Children learn from their total experience and they bring their observations and learning to the classroom.
Learning in the early grades affects the understanding of later concepts for example the early teaching of fractions as only part of a whole ONLY,
interferes with later understanding of a concept such as percentage increase.
Learners can be taught a procedure, but they do not necessarily remember it in the way it was taught and neither can they apply the procedure correctly when confronted with a parallel problem (Hart, 1981; 1984).
![Page 17: Pfs ss 131004160005-phpapp01](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a342a21a28ab004b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Proportional reasoning Capstone of primary school and cornerstone of
high school (Lesh et al, 1988)
Children have intuitive understanding of proportional reasoning – this has to be developed starting from FP
Levels of cognitive development and levels of complexity are to be found in research Qualitative reasoning precedes quantitative reasoning
Lack of fluency with proportional reasoning seen as one on the reasons for failure at tertiary level
![Page 18: Pfs ss 131004160005-phpapp01](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a342a21a28ab004b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Percentage Problems with percentage related to ONLY teaching
part-whole understanding of fraction
Covers the different notions underpinning rational number, and has additional complexity
See Parker & Leinhardt, (1995). Percent: a privileged proportion
![Page 19: Pfs ss 131004160005-phpapp01](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a342a21a28ab004b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Further comments Rational number, ratio and rate
Grades 7, 8 – ratio and rate (one week, no progression indicated)
Grades 9 – ratio and rate (one week), add direct and indirect proportion (one week)
Rational number concept built up through experiences with common fractions, decimal fractions, ratios, rate, throughout the year.
Develop an understanding the rational number can have different representations.
No mention of proportional reasoning (see Lampen document)
![Page 20: Pfs ss 131004160005-phpapp01](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a342a21a28ab004b8b474e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conclusion Development of a curriculum takes time
Key research must be considered as in the alternative curriculum (previous slide)
Mathematicians and mathematics education specialists are responsible for substantive aspects.
Teachers for implementation of technical- professional aspects.
Next steps towards planning the mathematical future of our children require radical redirection.

South Africa’s economy is the largest and most developed in Africa (28th-largest in the world)
People are well off in many parts of South Africa, although poverty and inequality remain widespread.
About a quarter of the population is unemployed and lives on less than $1.25 a day

South Africa today has 11 official languages.
The three most spoken languages at home are Zulu (22.7%), Xhosa (16.0%), and Afrikaans(13.5%).
English is the language of commerce & science, but was spoken by only 9.6% of South Africans at home
in 2011.

We tend to assume that pictures are easy to understand, requiring little skill, and we often take it for granted that children see what they are asked to look at and that they see what we see in pictures.

Course Outcomes
1. Adapt the ideas shared during the day to make them work for your school, your children and the kind of curriculum that you want to teach. This means you will be using ICT frames to create your own personalised resource.
Aim: to create ICT resources that are adapted to the needs of your children and your school
2. Share the resource you have developed with one or more teachers during the final session

I can feel the soft blue powder
the rough and hard wood.
my bracelet tickling my arm.
I can smell the misty air that blocked my nose.
the moss on the trees and the dead leaves.

Sieving concreteI can see some trees gently brushing against each other,
my friends working hard.
the muddy floor
I can hear the slight breeze shaking and rattling the trees
my friends talking to me, telling me some things they are going to have for their tea.

Visual LiteracyVisual literacy can be compared alongside text based`literacy’ in that they both employ similar processes:
identifying
decoding
interpreting

Visual Literacy
How often do we focus on developing pupils’ skills of reading and interpreting images as opposed to developing these skills with text based sources.

Understanding both print and visual sources depends on:
Observation (based on the use of all the senses)
Prediction
Deduction /supposition
Narrative skills

What is meant by an image The perception of places that are inside our heads that
derive from our experiences, both direct and indirect.
The messages given by a single source or by a collection of sources.
These may be photographs, diagrams or maps but they can also be written accounts.

Why do we use images? To help to develop a `sense of place’
To foster enquiry skills
To improve visual literacy
To improve critical literacy
We use them together to help children to become better learners (of geography and history).

I want to
help children understand that there are many ways to live in the world and to be happy and fulfilled.
BUT also to understand that the unequal distribution of wealth and resources means that some people live very hard and difficult lives.

The Nuffield History Project view
We all come out of the past, and what happened there influences what happens here and now – we need to know so we can understand the world today.
Through history, we can lead children to understand how human beings behave and why people act as they do.
By getting inside the past, we can lead children to respect and value each different period and society in its own terms.

What can you work out from the photograph?
What do you know for certain?
What questions would you like to ask?

The skill of looking at, understanding and interpreting pictures has to be taught through planned directed study.
