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.
1.2. Discuss the role of visual, verbal, movement/kinesthetic and tactile skills in learning
shape and space.
1.3. Differentiate between the concepts: position and direction. Provide an example of
your own for each concept.
1.4. Design an obstacle course you could set out for grade R learners. Write down at least
5 instructions for the learners. (10) The instructions should use position and direction
words. Mention the materials you are going to use to design the obstacle course.
1.5. Sketch a simple map for your obstacle course. Ensure that it could be followed by
children who are not yet reading in the formal sense. Think how you could use color and
shape as well as arrows to make your map clear
1.1 Importance of Shape and Space in Emergent Mathematics
In emergent mathematics, which is foundational learning at an early stage, shape and space play
crucial roles in developing spatial awareness, reasoning skills, and understanding relationships
between objects and their positions. Learning about shapes helps children recognize patterns
and develop skills that are fundamental for later mathematical concepts such as geometry and
measurement. Understanding space allows them to comprehend the concepts of proximity,
distance, and direction, which are essential for navigation and problem-solving in both
mathematical and real-world contexts.
1.2 Role of Skills in Learning Shape and Space
