According to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (2011) the teaching and learning of mathematical concepts in Grade R should be
structured around a play-based approach that integrates the various learning areas of the curriculum and supports the holistic development of
learners. The teacher needs to guide learners through structured play activities and create a learning environment that promotes incidental learning
and independence (Naudé & Meier, 2018: 58). The importance of play in the development of young learners has been emphasised by educational
theorists such as Piaget and Vygotsky, who’s work continues to inform education today and highlights the importance of play-based learning for
children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development (Naudé & Meier, 2018: 60). Within the Grade R curriculum mathematics is
integrated through various learner-centred and teacher-guided activities that promote the acquisition of important life skills and deepen their
understanding of mathematical concepts (DBE, 2011: 14). The main aim is for learners to develop important skills such as problem solving,
reasoning, logical thinking, and cooperative capabilities that will allow them to thrive as confident and independent members of society (DBE, 2011:
16). The CAPS document allocates 7 hours per week to the development of mathematics skills and concepts in Grade R and is the teacher’s
responsibility to ensure that the learning outcomes are achieved for each term through activities of their own choice (DBE, 2011: 6). The following
weekly cycle and lesson plan for term 3 illustrates how the teaching and learning of mathematical concepts that focus on ‘numbers, operations and
relationships’ can be developed through fun activities that incorporate a play-based approach.
