Hub Teachers take Numbers to the next Level
At the Imizamo Yethu Learning Hub, we believe that every child deserves the chance to unlock their full potential.
This year, we’ve witnessed something extraordinary. After a full and fruitful year of partnership with the NumberSense team, our staff are now equipped to run mathematics sessions independently, without facilitators. This isn’t just a win for our team… it’s a transformational leap forward for the over 100 children who attend the Hub every week.
Why NumberSense? Why Now?
Mathematics is more than just a school subject… it’s a life skill. It builds problem-solving, critical thinking, confidence, and the ability to engage meaningfully with the world.
But too often, children from underserved communities fall behind early in their maths journey. Not because they lack potential, but because they lack the right tools and support. That’s where the NumberSense approach comes in.
The NumberSense programme is rooted in understanding, not memorisation. It’s practical. Hands-on. It helps children build a relationship with numbers — one that fosters confidence and deep comprehension. This is the kind of learning that sticks. That travels with them into high school, employment, and everyday life.
A Year of Growth
Over the past year, our team has worked closely with NumberSense trainers, learning the curriculum, the philosophy, and the methods that make this approach so effective. They’ve shown up with curiosity, resilience, and dedication — and it’s paid off.
Today, they are confident, capable, and ready to take the lead. That means more consistent learning for our children, more ownership from our staff, and a model that’s truly sustainable.
Changing Trajectories
This isn’t just about improved maths scores — it’s about changing lives.
A child who once felt “bad at maths” is now discovering they can do hard things.
A staff member who once needed support is now leading.
A learning hub that once relied on external facilitation is now self-sustaining.
We’re incredibly proud of the journey — and even more excited about where it’s going.
