We are reaching the half-year mark at our schools supported by the project “Help more South African children achieve in Maths” and both schools are currently busy completing their online half-year Maths assessments. Both schools, Mzamomhle Primary and St Marys Primary have fervently completed their twice weekly exercises, combined the two schools have completed 82% of their weekly exercises.
One of the ways we support these schools is by providing them with data that will enable teachers to support their learners to excel in Maths. We send teachers reports that indicate how their classes have been using the Online Maths Programme twice a term, as well as summarised per child, per question, per class data of the assessments they complete.
Teachers have given positive feedback on how this data has helped them in the class room. One of the major benefits of receiving such data is that teachers are able to identify the areas with which their learners are struggling in and intervene.
“The data has resulted in me changing the way I identify learners who are having difficulty. This has influenced the intervention programme in my class.” Grade 5 teacher at St Mary’s Primary
“The data was very helpful to me because I could see the different levels where the learners were at. I could plan the interventions accordingly.” Grade 6 teacher at Mzamomhle Primary
Thanks to your donations we are able to provide teachers with the data that empowers them to make a difference in their learners Maths results and ultimately in their futures.
