Executives of AESSEAL/AESPUMP adopted a primary school in Sasolburg in 2018 and earlier this year the My Maths Buddy project returned to the school to work with the Grade 5 learners. The focus is to get them through training, and equip them with the vital tools that will help them increase their understanding of Maths and thus create better results.
We strongly believe that understanding of any subject under study comes first before one can successfully apply it. And this is what our project concentrates on - to give Maths teachers and learners the tools with which they can have an excellent understanding of Maths.
The Best Performing Maths Teacher Award
"More than 50% of our learners are performing at 80% and above. Your strategies and methods are of great importance to SMT and teachers. The resources you gave the school during your 2018 visit are used on a daily basis and our learners are performing very well in Maths and related subjects. In addition to that our grade 7 Maths teacher has been awarded the BEST PERFORMING TEACHER FOR 2019 during the ceremony held by the MEC of the Free State in collaboration with the Fezile Dabi district under "Primary well done function". On that note our school also received an award for best performing school in Maths among 90 primary schools in the whole of Fezile Dabi district including Ex Model school." - Principal of Nelson Mandela Primary School, Ms. Chabela.
