The understanding and retention of Mathematics lessons is a
challenge faced by teachers, parents and the Department of Basic
Education. This could be caused by the fact that most learners
learn Mathematics in English, which is not their home language.
This results in them taking time to translate into isiXhosa each
concept taught by the teacher. This dictionary comes as a response
to that problem, for learners and teachers. The way it is written
makes it easy for even parents to navigate through it when
explaining difficult Mathematical concepts to their children when
assisting them in their studies. Explaining the English
Mathematical concepts is difficult for parents, more especially
those who never studied Mathematics. This dictionary is good
because each concept is defined in both English and isiXhosa. The
terms selected here were chosen by Mathematics experts and
teachers. These are the people who work with learners, and who also
understand their Mathematical challenges. The Mathematics
Dictionary is a Mathematics support material that can be used by
the learner, teacher and the parent at home. Each defined term is
supported by a picture that is based on the life and society of the
isiXhosa speaking people. This is one of the aspects that will make
the learners enjoy using this dictionary, because it talks about
things that they know and are accustomed to, even though they do
not take them as Mathematical concepts.
