The testing will take place at the Sandton Library on 19 September and is available to pupils from grades R to 6.
Heinrich Dirk, project manager for the Via Afrika Tablet Tutor (Tabtor) maths application, explained that the purpose of doing the test was a way to provide parents with knowledge about possible weaknesses in their children’s maths abilities.
“The testing will be conducted using Via Afrika’s Tabtor application, an interactive personalised tablet-based mathematics platform that combines the best of e-learning with the support of a tutor or teacher, which enables pupils to complete maths problems in an engaging manner,” he said.
“Using the diagnostic test in the Tabtor, parents will be able to identify any problem areas in their childrens’ maths education.”
Dirk added that the application was developed in line with the South African curriculum, and can be used to help children ahead of the exam period.
The testing, part of Via Afrika’s national Tabtor Maths Roadshow, will take place from 9am to 12pm.
The Sandton library will be the only Gauteng stop during the roadshow, but parents and pupils are able to download the application and still receive the free test.
The application is available to individuals and schools.
