Ce guide invite les enseignants à réfléchir aux inégalités de genre dans les manuels scolaires. Elle présente des bases légales et normatives sur lesquelles s’appuient cette question dans le cadre Français, des chronologies, infographies sur l’égalité de genre et l’élaboration des programmes. On y retrouve différents outils à destination des enseignants pour les accompagner au moment d’aborder ces sujets en classe dans différentes matières, ou plus largement dans la vie scolaire.  

A set of teacher guides containing each 6 Mental Mathematics Lesson Starter units for Grade 3 learners, in alignment with the South African curriculum. A different calculation strategy is in focus in each unit. These calculation strategies are taken from the curriculum. Each unit covers a particular group of connected skills, and the aim is to move learners on from counting in ones on their fingers or with tally marks on paper.

Each unit is three weeks long; it begins and ends with a short test for the learners. Marking these tests provides information for the teacher and the learners about how much they have improved in using that particular set of skills during the three weeks. Within each unit, the focus is on three types of calculations: fluency, strategic calculating and strategic thinking.

Working through the Lesson Starters in each unit should lead to improvements in learners’ performance from the pre to post-tests. These improvements show progress in mental mathematics skills and number sense.

The guide is available in 11 official languages of South Africa.
