Exploring online numeracy games for primary learners : sharing experiences of a Scifest Africa Workshop
Mellony Graven, Debbie Stott · Learning & teaching mathematics · 2011
On the 5th of May we (Mellony Graven & Debbie Stott) ran a workshop aimed at Grade 3-5 learners, accompanied by their parents or teachers, on the use of free online numeracy game resources. This workshop formed part of the programme of Scifest Africa, the national science festival held annually in Grahamstown. We had such fantastic feedback from both learners and teachers that we thought we should share how we ran the workshop in the hope that schools with online computer facilities will run similar workshops not only with their own learners but with learners in nearby schools who do not have such facilities.
