About This Course

In 2021 SEP-M equipped math teachers and school heads from 272 low-middle cost schools with practical skills and universal best standard practices that aid interactive and successful lesson preparation and delivery and have impacted 8600 students as at of March 2022. SEP-M 2.0 aims to equips math teachers from 500 public and low cost schools with practical skills and global best standard practices that aid interactive and successful lesson preparation and delivery. The curriculum design for this project is research and need-based and directly addresses the identified problems among the benefiting schools, teachers, and pupils.

Key Focus Areas of the SEP-M intervention will now include Philosophy and Psychology of Math, Pedagogy of Math, Understanding and Correcting Myths in Math, 21st century models for Math lesson preparation, and delivery, Sustainable Methods for Resourcing and Deploying Instructional Tools for Math lessons among many others This project is innovative, scalable and have direct impact on classroom teachers and the thousands of pupils that pass through each of the schools involved. Passing through this programme will significantly impact on the quality of Math lesson delivery, eliminate misconceptions that Math is difficult among pupils and consequently improve the pupils’ interest and performance in Mathematics from the primary school

Module 1: Rejuvenating Maths Teachers

The interest of young people in Maths has been on the decline in many countries including Nigeria. Teachers complain that learners are unserious and difficult to engage in learning. Learners on the other hand consider Maths a boring and difficult subject. Maths can actually be quite interesting, useful for problem solving and beneficial in many aspects of life. Teachers play a vital role in helping students learn and understand Maths. They can help students develop an understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, as well as foster problem-solving skills and 21st century skills. Through their guidance, teachers can help students achieve outstanding performance in maths.
