GOLDEN MATHEMATICS ACADEMY
We want to change the perception that Mathematics is
difficult in South Africa. We offer lessons from Grade R to Grade 12. Mathematics
is a language that utilize symbols, notations, geometric, and graphical
relationships. Its practicality involves but not limited to observing,
investigating, and representing. Learners should be able to develop logical and
critical thinking, accuracy and problem solving, and tactical decision-making.
Our specific aims are:
- Developing learners who have the ability to be methodical, make conjectures, and try to solve them.
- Ability to understand and work with real number system
- Preparing learners for further education and training as well as real world problem solving.
Our approach fosters Excellency in mathematics:
·
Have a maximum of 10 learners per session to allow the tutor to give attention to
learners at all times; in such a way that no learner is left behind- including
slow learners.
·
We further utilise effective strategies to deliver
mathematics to learners in such a way that it is easily understood and learners
can apply the taught concepts. Some of these strategies are:
-
Visualisation: we use photos, audio clips, as well as
videos to enhance learning. At the end of each chapter, we provide CD’s to
learners so that they can watch at home to revise taught lessons.
-
Most tutors/ and or educators believe that mathematics
does not require class notes. However, like any subject- notes are needed to
understand basic concepts. We provide well-summarized notes, including brief definitions.
-
Training on how to use a calculator: some learners fail
to get correct answers because of their inability to use a calculator- our
well-trained tutors provide extra material to learners on how to use a
scientific calculator effectively.
-
Teaching learners on how to approach questions during
assessments such as exams and tests: we provide plenty of examples that are
exam based using past examination questions
-
Cooperative learning: encouraging learners with mixed
abilities to work together in groups during class activities.
-
Technology in the classroom: we are living in the
digital world and transiting to the fourth industrial revolution; for example,
using WhatsApp, Facebook Group, and/ or telegram channels to encourage learners
to pose questions if they face a problem in real time while solving mathematics
problems. In addition, Golden Mathematics Academy will provide recorded material
through, you tube channels, and Facebook page live streams
-
Preparing learners thoroughly for final exams,
especially for Grade 12- we make sure to complete the various topics earlier to
allow plenty revision. Our learners write a minimum of five past exam papers
each (both paper 1 & paper 2) so that they understand how the exam is
structured; the speed needed to complete the exam on scheduled time and the
allocation of marks for different topics. We further encourage learners to show working as much as
possible to gather more marks
NB! Our tutors work on rotational basis and they are capable of teaching mathematics from Grade 8 to 12. A tutor who starts with learners from Grade 8 go with them up to Grade 12; which is effective in that learners become used to the tutor teaching methods.
