Topic STATISTICS EDUCATION FOR SOUTH AFRICA: LITERACY TO REASONING INTERVENTION
Current Role at Current Company Senior Post-Matric Mathematics Teacher
PERSONAL PROFILE: I am a senior post-matric mathematics teacher, teaching both “A Level” Pure mathematics and Statistics at St John’s College. Throughout my career I have gained trust, love and respect from both students and parents because of my passion and results produced at both the post matric level as well as matric level. The quality of results that I produced when I taught in Zimbabwe led to the invitation from the Mathematics Education department at the University of Zimbabwe to be an honorary lecturer in Mathematics teaching methods in their Graduate Certificate in Education programme. I was an honorary lecturer for 8 years before moving to South Africa. I have been involved in several other areas in mathematics education in Zimbabwe:
Harare region mathematics chief examiner.
National mathematics chief examiner for the Junior Mathematics Certificate.
National mathematics text book evaluator.
