| Purpose: To enable students to develop good insight into the nature of number and number systems in these two phases. They will know the history and historical development of numbers and number systems and how we arrived at what we have today. The students will know how young children learn about numbers and the accompanying operations, what the nature of number problems is in algebra at this phase, and how to fill the gap between arithmetic and algebra. The module will enable the students to understand and teach the problematic areas of fractions to the young learners in a meaningful way. This will be done in a problem-centred way which enhances the quality of mathematical thinking of the young learners. |
