The 2004 senior Harmony South African Mathematics Olympiad: An analysis of the results of the senio group, second round

Abstract: UITTREKSEL Suid-Afrikaanse leerders se ontoereikende wiskundeprestasie is 'n bron van kommer vir elkeen wat betrokke is by leerfasilitering in wiskunde. Belanghebbendes soek ernstig na moontlike wyses waarop leerders se insig rakende en prestasie in wiskunde verbeter An important conclusion is that although the Harmony South African Mathematics Olympiad accomplishes its goal, it still does not reach as many learners and educators as one would hope. The ideals of the Harmony South African Mathematics Olympiad w… Show more

“…Certainly researchers (Ahuja, 2006;Witterholt, Goedhart & Suhre, 2016) argue that many mathematics educators lack adequate mathematical content knowledge hence their inability to raise their learners' performance to the highest level in mathematics problem-solving. This concern is often expressed in the small number of learners who enroll for mathematics in South Africa in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase owing to their prior inadequate achievement in mathematics (DoE, 2010;Maree, Olivier & Swanepoel, 2004). Further afield, the mathematical background of students entering universities in countries such as Australia, the USA, the UK and Ireland has also been found to be a problem since it serves as an entry requirement for certain countries (Rylands & Coady, 2008).…”
