, 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
The importance of shape and space in emergent mathematics cannot
be overstated. These concepts form the foundation for more
complex mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Understanding shape and space helps children:
• Develop Spatial Awareness: This is crucial for navigating the
physical world and understanding the relationships between
objects in space.
• Enhance Problem-Solving Skills: Recognizing shapes and
understanding spatial relationships aid in solving puzzles and
other logical problems.
