  1. USAF CoP : Teaching and Learning of Mathematics “Technical Mathematics” UNISA (Pretoria) Bamboo Auditorium 19 February 2019 Presented by: MA HENDRICKS

  2. Comparison of the Aims , Structure , Content and Assessment of the Papers for Technical Mathematics & Mathematics CAPS ( Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement)

  3. CAPS DEFINITIONS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS MATHEMATICS • Mathematics is a LANGUAGE that makes use of symbols and notations describing numerical , geometric and graphical representations.

  4. CAPS DEFINITIONS MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS • It is a HUMAN ACTIVITY that involves observing, representing and investigating patterns and qualitative relationships in physical and social phenomena and between mathematical objects themselves

  5. CAPS DEFINITIONS MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS • It helps to DEVELOP MENTAL PROCESSES that enhance logical and critical thinking , accuracy and problem solving that will contribute in decision making.

  6. CAPS DEFINITIONS MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS. • Mathematical problem solving enables us to understand the world (physical, social and economic) around us , and, most of all to teach us to think creatively.

  7. CAPS DEFINITIONS MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS • The aim of Technical Mathematics is to APPLY the Science of Mathematics to the TECHNICAL FIELD • where the emphasis is • on APPLICATION • and • not on abstract ideas.

  8. SPECIFIC AIMS DIFFERENCES MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS. • To provide the opportunity to develop in learners the ability to be methodical , to generalize , • make conjectures • and try to justify • or prove them.. • To provide the opportunity to develop in learners the ability to be methodical , to generalize and • to be skillful users of • the Science of • Mathematics

  9. SPECIFIC AIMS (DIFFERENCES) MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS • To provide learners of Technical Schools an alternative and value adding substitute to Mathematical Literacy. • To support and sustain technical subjects at Technical Schools

  10. SPECIFIC AIMS (DIFFERENCES) MATHEMATICS TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS To provide a vocational route aligned with the expectations of labour in order to ensure direct access to learnership/ apprenticeship. To create the opportunity for learners to further their studies at FET Colleges at an entrance level of N4 and thus creating an alternative route to access other HEI’s.
