EMA1501 ASSESSMENT 2 2024

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

QUESTION 2

The teaching of number sense in the early years is the
very foundation of the teaching and learning of
mathematics.

QUESTION 1

1.1. Define Emergent Mathematics.

Emergent Mathematics refers to the mathematical understanding and skills that children develop
naturally through their everyday experiences and interactions with the world around them. It
emphasizes the idea that mathematical learning begins at a very young age and emerges from
children's play, exploration, and problem-solving activities. This approach to mathematics education
encourages educators to observe and respond to children's individual mathematical interests and
abilities, and to provide meaningful and relevant learning opportunities that build on children's prior
knowledge and experiences. Emergent Mathematics focuses on nurturing a deep and meaningful
understanding of mathematical concepts and processes, rather than simply teaching rote
memorization of formulas and procedures.

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)

One story that stands out from my childhood is "The Ant and the Grasshopper." This fable taught me
the concept of time management and the importance of planning for the future. The ant spends its
time gathering food and preparing for the winter, while the grasshopper enjoys the present moment
without thinking ahead. This story introduced me to the idea of budgeting and planning, as well as
the concept of delayed gratification. It taught me the mathematical concept of allocation and how to
prioritize resources based on future needs. This story laid the foundation for understanding the
value of saving and investing, as well as the importance of being prepared for unexpected events.

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)

Play is essential for the development of emergent mathematics skills in young children. Through
play, children are able to explore and manipulate objects, patterns, and shapes, which helps them
develop a deeper understanding of basic mathematical concepts. For example, building with blocks
allows children to explore concepts of size, shape, and spatial relationships. Sorting and classifying
objects in a play setting help children understand basic principles of math such as grouping and
patterning. Additionally, engaging in pretend play, such as playing store or cooking, introduces
children to concepts of counting, measuring, and money. Overall, play provides a hands-on and
meaningful way for children to engage with mathematical concepts and build a solid foundation for
future learning.

1.4. There are theories that are implicated in the teaching and learning of emergent mathematics
in the early years. Create a three-column table where you discuss how teaching and learning takes
place according to Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner. (30)
