QUESTION 1
Mathematics does not happen in a vacuum but is part of an integrated
approach to the child’s development. Mathematics should be embedded and
integrated in all the activities the children engage in throughout the day, such
as feeding time, playtime, rest/sleep time, routine morning, midday and
evening activities, etc.
1.1. Define Emergent Mathematics. (4)
1.2. Think of a story or stories you were told as a child. Think about any part
of the story that had mathematical themes, concepts or ideas and in a
paragraph of between 8 to 10 lines or 100 words, relate the memories and
mathematical concepts you learned from the story. (10)
1.3. Play is often referred to as a child’s work, and that it is very important for
learning. In a paragraph of 5 to 6 lines, examine the relationship between play
and emergent mathematics. (6)
1.1. Emergent Mathematics: Emergent mathematics refers to the natural
development of mathematical understanding and skills that arise from everyday
experiences and interactions with the environment. It's the foundation built before
formal math instruction begins, encompassing skills like sorting, counting,
recognizing patterns, and basic measurement.
1.2. Mathematical Memories: (Consider a story like "The Three Little Pigs")
Building their houses, the pigs use different materials (straw, sticks, bricks). This
introduces concepts of comparison (stronger vs weaker) and classification
(grouping materials). Additionally, counting the number of pigs and their houses
reinforces basic number recognition.
1.3. Play and Learning: Play is a crucial avenue for emergent mathematics.
Through play, children naturally explore sorting toys by size or color
(classification), build block towers (spatial reasoning), and distribute toys during
pretend play (early division concepts). Play allows them to experiment, discover,
and develop a foundation for future mathematical understanding.
