  2. Introduction- National Status of Maths Only 34% of our Grade 9 learners can do basic mathematics 66% of our learners cannot do basic computations or match tables to bar graphs or read a simple line graph A recent study showed that only about 15,000 matrics achieved 70% or more in mathematics. That’s about 1,5% of students who start school in Grade 1 Only one in three learners who wrote Mathematics in 2016 got 40% or more in the subject Source: NicSpaull- Mail and Guardian 27 January 2017

The LEAP Maths Journey John and Zonke’s experience of Jo Boaler All learners can do Maths We learn from our mistakes- growth mindset The emphasis is not on the outcomes, but on the process Multiple Intelligences- I learn through seeing, feeling, hearing, touching, etc. Outcomes are teacher orientated, Process is learner orientated
