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.
Shape and space play crucial roles in emergent mathematics for several reasons:
1. Foundation of Spatial Awareness: Understanding shapes and space is fundamental for
developing spatial awareness in children. This awareness helps them navigate their
physical environment, understand relationships between objects, and develop skills like
estimating distances and sizes.
2. Visual Representation: Shapes and space provide visual representations that are often
easier for young children to grasp compared to abstract concepts. This visual aspect aids
in developing basic mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.
3. Early Geometry Concepts: Exploring shapes introduces children to basic geometric
concepts such as sides, vertices, angles, and symmetry. These concepts form the building
blocks for more advanced geometrical understanding later on.
4. Preparation for Measurement: Understanding shape and space sets the stage for
learning measurement. Children learn to compare sizes, lengths, and capacities, which are
essential components of early mathematical reasoning.
5. Integration with Other Mathematical Areas: Geometry naturally integrates with other
areas of mathematics such as number sense and spatial reasoning. For instance,
