Drawing on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework as a theoretical lens, and operating under an interpretivist paradigm with a qualitative research design, the study examined how teachers integrate technology into mental mathematics instruction to support number sense development. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations with foundation phase mathematics teachers. Findings indicate that while teachers recognize the potential of technology-enhanced activities to support number sense, professional development and resource access remain significant barriers. The study extends TPACK scholarship to foundation phase mathematics and early childhood number sense contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selepe, M.
