The implementation of a new school curriculum for Mathematics in South Africa started in 1998 in an attempt to improve the quality of the learning of Mathematics. However, various investigations done during the past decade indicate that the teaching of Mathematics in school still does not meet the expectation to improve the quality of Mathematics learning.

Analyse the stated problem situation

Both Van de Walle et al., and Hiebert and Grouws define the learning of Mathematics with understanding (the meaningful learning of Mathematics) by means of the network theory as well as a social-cultural perspective with respect to learning.

What is the role of teaching in the meaningful learning of Mathematics? Explain and illustrate your arguments by means of a specific concept(s) from senior-fet phase school Algebra.

A ball is thrown in the air from the top of a building. Its height, in meters above ground, as a function of time, in seconds, is given by h(t)= -4.9t^2+ 24t + 8 What is the height of the building? What is the maximum height reached by the ball? How long does it take to reach maximum height? Also, find a rigorous algebraic solution for the problem.
