Revisiting addition and subtraction: Mathematics made simple

Botswana, like any other country, is facing its fair share of challenges around mathematics education based on poor results for many years, at all the crucial exit levels such as Standard 7, Form 3, Form 5, and Form 6 (Botswana Examinations Council) and even at University.

I have taught math in Botswana at the university level (Bachelor's and Master's degrees) since 2003 and I have concluded that there is a dire need to re-focus when it comes to math learning and teaching.
