As part of an evaluation of the mathematics curriculum for senior primary schools in Transkei, a prototype 19-item questionnaire designed to assess opinions about the current mathematics syllabus was administered to a sample of 82 Standard 3 (Grade 5) and Standard 4 (Grade 6) teachers. Analysis suggested that teachers believed they were handicapped by an overcrowded syllabus and unable to be innovative but recognized the value of alternative teaching approaches and the importance of providing enrichment activities
