Designing an Educational Intervention: Enhancing Problem-
Solving in Grade 6 Mathematics
Introduction
An intervention strategy is a purposeful teaching plan
designed to address learners’ difficulties and support them in
achieving better educational outcomes. Effective interventions
are grounded in pedagogical theory, target specific challenges,
and provide structured support to ensure all learners can
succeed. During an interview with a practicing Grade 6
mathematics teacher, one of the key challenges highlighted
was learners’ difficulty in solving word problems. Many
learners could perform basic calculations but struggled to
apply mathematical operations in real-world contexts. This
essay proposes a targeted intervention strategy—Guided
Problem-Solving with Collaborative Learning—to improve
learners’ comprehension and problem-solving skills in
mathematics.
Identifying the Problem
The teacher noted that learners often became anxious and
disengaged when confronted with mathematical word
problems. While they could compute sums and products when
