Mathematics is considered to be one of the most important school subjects in the curriculum worldwide. However, the pass rate for mathematics in Zambian secondary schools is very low. Reports have indicated that some of the challenges faced by candidates in mathematics could be attributed to...

Despite global aspirations towards a 21st Century Skills learning agenda, Zambia's efforts to effectively integrate these skills into classroom settings have shown limited advancement. This discrepancy highlights the challenge of translating theoretical aspirations into tangible educational...

In Zambia it has generally accepted that good performance in mathematics has become a prerequisite for one entry into tertiary education regardless of one’s sex. In a bid to find themselves places in colleges and universities, many more girls are victim of rejection because of poor grades in...

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of pupil-teacher ratio on the quality of teaching and learning process of mathematics in selected public secondary schools of Lusaka district. Four specific research objectives which guided the study were; to determine the proportion of pupils in...

The study investigated poor learner performance in mathematics at grade 12 level at Secondary School A. The study adopts a Mixed Method Approach by employing the Convergent Parallel Design. The target population comprised all stakeholders in the provision of secondary education including...

In this thesis, we recall three types of convexities in metric spaces, namely; Menger convexity, Takahashi convexity andM-convexity. We then generalise these convexities to the framework of T0-quasi-metric spaces. Since the concept of convexities heavily relies on the concept of betweenness, a...

The concept of hyperconvexity in metric spaces was introduced by Aronszajn and Panichpakdi in 1956. This concept was then generalised to the framework of quasi-metric spaces by John Isbell in 1964, which he called Isbell convexity. In 2019, Yi git and Efe generalised this concept of...

This was a qualitative multiple case study that investigated mathematics teachers‟ pedagogical content knowledge of probability in selected secondary schools of Chongwe District, Zambia. A sample of seventeen (17) senior secondary school mathematics teachers was purposefully selected for...

A commutatively ordered Banach algebra (COBA) is a complex unital Banach algebra A containing a subset C, called an algebra c-cone, such that C contains the unit of A and is closed under addition, positive scalar multiplication and multiplication by commuting positive elements. If the...

The use of scientific calculators in the teaching and learning process of secondary school Mathematics in the Zambian education system began in 2001. Since then, there has been lack of the Zambian context research evidence regarding the use of scientific calculators in the teaching and learning...
