dc.description.abstract Mathematics education in South Africa needs help. This paper describes a project where school aged pupils could get help with their mathematics homework using MXit, South Africa's most popular instant messaging system, on their cell phones in the afternoons after school. Tutors from a local university acted as tutors using internet based workstations. Pupils used MXit on their cell phones using GPRS to connect to the internet and, eventually, to the tutors. en
