THE PROBLEM
The nature of careers is evolving, and the future of our children’s careers is at risk. Teaching methods should not only focus on maths concepts but also look at reducing maths anxiety and developing study orientation and metacognitive strategies in maths.
Covid-19 has further complicated the learning environment – leading to increased levels of anxiety for parents and students. This raises the urgency for a new type of learning that requires high levels of play and engagement. Various research sources support the need for education to intensify their STEM (Science, Teaching, Engineering and Maths) teaching methods and results because:
-
Learning centres are unable to meet their maths quotas as 70% of South African learners take maths literacy, which does not allow entrance into careers in science, engineering or medicine.
-
Africa needs innovators as the “story of mathematical development in Africa is one of potential unfulfilled” (International Mathematics Union).
THE SOLUTION
An innovative and holistic approach using the power of play and storytelling to discover the world of mathematics.
Unique, evidence-based content (WHARTELS ) developed by Dr Petro Erasmus an Educational Psychologist - researcher in collaboration with the North-West University.
TM
Fun environment where we use play to develop math concepts, emotional intelligence and metacognition through play therapy techniques such as puppets, board games and technology.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe every child deserves to enjoy maths and have a bright future!
