, Question 1
The mathematical field of geometry is made up of concepts relating to
space and shape – that is why, in the Foundation Phase curriculum,
geometry is often simply referred to as Space and Shape.
1.1. Explain the importance of shape and space in emergent
mathematics. (4)
In emergent mathematics, the concepts of shape and space are
fundamental as they form the basis for more advanced mathematical
understanding. Understanding shapes helps children recognize and
categorize objects, enhancing their spatial awareness and cognitive
development. This foundational knowledge is crucial as it leads to the
ability to comprehend more complex geometric concepts and relationships
(Sarama & Clements, 2009).
Spatial reasoning, the ability to understand and remember the spatial
relations among objects, is also pivotal. It contributes to problem-solving
skills and is linked to success in fields such as science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (Verdine et al., 2017). Engaging
