- Description
- Early grade mathematics (EGM) has received substantial policy attention in the last decade. In South Africa, the introduction of the ‘CAPS’ curriculum in 2011 was followed by the rollout of the now widely used national workbooks and there have been further policy-linked interventions like the Teaching Mathematics for Understanding model (Department of Basic Education, Citation2019) and the Primary Teacher Education (PrimTEd) initiative. Alongside these policy directions, there has been extensive research activity linked to interventions. These include the large-scale Gauteng Primary Mathematics and Language Strategy (Fleisch et al., Citation2016) and the more recent Bala Wande study (Mpofu et al., Citation2021), the work of longitudinal projects within the two Numeracy Chairs at Wits and Rhodes Universities and the Magic Classroom Collective in South Africa (see chapters in Venkat and Roberts’ (Citation2022) book for overviews of these projects), as well as the series of EGM-focused projects led by Mercy Kazima in Malawi (e.g. Longwe et al.’s (Citation2022) recent paper). Both review papers in this Special Issue (Morrison et al., Citation2023; Graven and Venkat, Citation2023) quantify, detail and disaggregate this growth in research interest from a low base in the previous decade.
