Abstract

dc:description

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching and learning of common and decimal fractions in the eighth grade in Swaziland. The study focused on the three aspects of the mathematics curriculum: (a) the intended curriculum as reflected in curriculum guides, course outlines, syllabi and textbooks; (b) the implemented curriculum at the classroom level where teachers translate the intended curriculum; and (c) the attained curriculum--what the students have learned as measured by the tests and questionnaires.
