This book focuses on how to improve the teaching and learning of primary level mathematics education within resource-constrained contexts. It builds on two large numeracy projects within South Africa which speak to broader, global concerns and highlight how research and development not only enables one to meet ethical imperatives but also explore how further interventions can be developed. Teacher and research communities must work together to create mutually beneficial relationships and establish a cohesive understanding of the requirements of primary mathematics education.
Builds on research from the two South African Numeracy Chairs for mathematics education in a resource constrained context
Highlights the ethical imperatives for responding to the needs of particular contexts
Enables richer research that speaks to new avenues of possibility for interventions in resource constrained contexts
