At Zikedish, we believe in showcasing meaningful work that helps strengthen education in South Africa. We are proud to share that Dr Linda le Hanie recently contributed a thoughtful article to Oxford University Press South Africa’s Sum It Up! publication, focusing on what defines an expert Mathematics teacher.

Her article, “Expert teachers in Mathematics: how to know one, how to be one,” offers a clear and practical look at how teaching expertise develops over time. Drawing on well-established research, she highlights the characteristics and habits that enable teachers to make a lasting impact on their learners.

Linda emphasises that expert teachers have a deep understanding of Mathematics, respond intelligently to classroom challenges, and create positive environments where learners feel supported and motivated.

Her perspective combines academic insight with practical classroom experience, making her guidance valuable to anyone involved in Mathematics education.
