Mellony Graven is the South African Chair of Numeracy Education at Rhodes University, South Africa. Her work as Chair involves the creation of a hub of mathematical activity, passion and innovation that blends teacher and learner numeracy development with research focused on searching for sustainable ways forward to the challenges of mathematics education.
Hamsa Venkat is SA Numeracy Chair at Wits University, South Africa, where she is leading a 5-year research and development project in primary mathematics. Her work focuses in the areas of Mathematical Literacy and Primary Mathematics teaching and learning.
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.
