Western Cape project helps children enjoy maths
Story 2
A project in the Western Cape is helping children fall in love with maths.
The MathMoms programme trains unemployed mothers to teach foundation-phase maths at schools and at home, turning numbers into fun, play-based lessons.
Since launching in Cape Town in 2016, the project has reached thousands of learners, boosting confidence in a subject many find challenging.
The mothers gain skills and mentorship from teachers, while the programme strengthens links between schools, families and communities.
