QUESTION 1:
Instructions: Choose ONE (1) of the following pre-number concepts AND
plan appropriate activities for each cognitive level (Concrete, semi concrete
and abstract level) to show how you would develop the concept progressively
with Grade R learners.
Sorting and Classifying
Reversibility and conservation
Matching The activities should be developmentally appropriate for Grade R
learners and should demonstrate a clear progression from concrete to
abstract thinking. The plan should include the following:
A brief description of the pre-number concept and its importance in early
childhood education
A detailed description of the activities for each stage of cognitive
development
The learning resources you would use in each stage
Clear learning outcomes for each activity
An explanation of how the activities will be assessed Marking Rubric: The
assessment activity is out of 25 marks, with the following breakdown:
Description of Pre-Number Concept (5 marks) The plan includes a clear and
concise description of the selected prenumber concept and its importance in
early childhood education.
Activities for Each Stage of Cognitive Development (10 marks) The plan
includes appropriate and well-developed activities for each stage of cognitive
development (concrete, semi-concrete, and abstract), with clear learning
outcomes.
Progression of Thinking (5 marks) The plan demonstrates a clear
progression of thinking from concrete to abstract stages, showing an
understanding of the learners' cognitive development.
, Assessment and Evaluation (5 marks) The plan includes clear explanations
of how the activities will be assessed and evaluated, demonstrating an
understanding of assessment principles in early childhood education. 8
Organization, Presentation, Reflections (5 marks) The plan is well-
organized, presented in a clear and professional manner, and demonstrates
attention to detail. You will be penalised if you use the same examples in the
study guide. Plan your own activities Use the following structure to plan your
activity Activity

Pre-Number Concept: Sorting and Classifying
Description of the Concept:
Sorting and classifying is a pre-number concept that involves organizing objects or
information into groups based on their similarities or differences. It helps develop
early mathematical skills, such as logical thinking, problem-solving, and
recognizing patterns. Sorting and classifying activities also enhance visual
discrimination and fine motor skills.
Activities for Each Stage of Cognitive Development:
Concrete Level:
Activity 1.1: Sorting by Color
Description: Provide a collection of objects in different colors (e.g., buttons,
blocks, or toys). Guide the Grade R learners to sort the objects into color groups.
For example, all the red objects go in one group, all the blue objects in another
group, and so on.
Resources used: Objects in different colors, sorting trays or baskets.
