Solving the learning and teaching of Mathematics. We develop project for healing the plagues of teaching and learning of Mathematics. We have developed a number of programs for different levels of learners including mathematics games to teach Mathematics concepts. It is interesting to note the following about our programs:

i) We do not help learners solve their problems, but equip them with skills to do so.

ii) We spur the love of the subject in individual learners.

iii) Acquired skills by individual learners last for a lifetime.

We developed the world of Mathematics to help learners relate problems in the physical world to the abstract world of Mathematics.

Our teaching and learning approach departs completely from the traditional approach.

i). Mathematics is a language on its own, which appeal to common sense; in other words Mathematics is a language of common sense.

ii) Mathematics is a problem solving tool, which is not abstract like any other tools. So with us, mathematical concepts can be felt and used as any other tools.

iii) we know that tools are not manufactured where they are being used, but in the factories, we follow the same principle and teach mathematical concepts in the context of the world of Mathematics that we have developed, and apply concepts learnt to solve life application problems.

We have developed a new field of Mathematics called Qualitative Linear Equation for solving socio-political problems, which we have developed as Apps. They include the Rigging or Winning strategy of Donald Trump, The cost of xenophobia to South Africa citizens, economy and government and solving African political problem.

We have also found through research that Law is a problem of Justice, and Linear Equation solve problem of Justice, Linear Equation is solved in court and Method for teaching Mathematics are based on the Rule of Law. So also good governance and development are a problem of Justice, Election is also a problem of Justice and we use Linear Equation to solve them all.

Lastly we have found the Scientists and Engineers have been using Linear Equation to achieve wonders of our time but unfortunately they destroyed the teaching and learning of Linear equation.
