Magister Educationis - MEd / This research investigated how grade 7 learners dealt with introductory aspects of integers when they are
introduced through a temperature model. In particular, the study analysed the effect of an intentional
teaching strategy on learners' engagement with integers. The idea of combining an intentional teaching
strategy with the introduction of integers in grade 7 learners using a temperature model is what makes this
study unique. A qualitative study was adopted. Data was collected by means of audio and video and also
by means of learners' completed worksheets.
The results of the study indicate that the majority of learners could recognise, compare and order integers.
It is recommended that the application of intentional teaching with a temperature model is a viable
strategy to introduce grade 7 learners to integers.
