Foundations of Math 1 offers a structured remediation solution based on the NCTM Curricular Focal Points and is designed to expedite student progress in acquiring 3rd- to 5th-grade skills.
About this programme:
There are very few opportunities in life that are really worth taking, that present themselves a second time. With such a high percentage of Grade 12 learners not meeting the Mathematics entrance requirements for study at a university, this programme is designed to give these learners a second chance.
It is put together as an intense two-week (80 hours) programme that allows students who pass with 60%, access to study a degree at UKZN where Mathematics is a prerequisite, provided that the applicant meets the other qualifying criteria of the University.
Due to the intense nature of this course, only individuals who completed their Matric in the past three years should apply. Applicants also need to enquire directly with the relevant College before completing this programme.
How you will benefit:
Concentrate on just one subject instead of six or more
Improve your understanding of mathematical concepts
Gain confidence as you work through examples on your own and in the classroom
Draw on the experience and skills of a Mathematics specialist at UKZN
Key focus areas:
