Under the Events tab you will find details about the support available to our user group. We work with mathematics teachers across the grade and school spectrum to support them to implement effective research-based pedagogies. We support teachers to create learning environments in which students experience mathematics as a meaningful, sense-making problem solving activity.
Our teacher training and support covers a broad base of formats including workshops, conferences, and school-based teacher training and support.
- Workshops
- From afternoon workshops, to extended courses that may or may not include in-class support, we tailor our training to the identified needs of teachers. We also host termly day-long workshops, to the NumberSense Mathematics Programme User Group in major centers across South Africa.
- Conferences
- The NumberSense Mathematics Programme User Group Conferences are a gathering of NumberSense Programme users (teachers, parents and others) sharing experiences, networking and learning about product developments. The conference, hosted in an inspiring setting, will support users to maximise the potential of the NumberSense Mathematics Programme in their work. The conference is not limited to NumberSense Mathematics Programme users, but is open to all interested mathematics teachers. These are hosted on a bi-annual basis.

- School-based support
- The format of the school-based training and workshops can take different forms. We try hard to tailor the workshop to your needs. Typical formats include:
- A full day workshop
- Lesson demonstration/observation (morning) and workshop session (3hrs) (afternoon)
- Workshop session (3hrs) (afternoon of day 1), lesson demonstration/observation (morning of day 2) and workshop session (3 hrs) (afternoon of day 2)
- We generally schedule a Foundation Phase day and an Intermediate Phase day depending on your needs. There is no limit to the number of people attending and you would be more than welcome to invite teachers from surrounding schools to attend as well.
