QUESTION1
1.1. Shape and space are important concepts in emergent mathematics as they help children develop
their spatial awareness and understanding of the world around them. By exploring shapes and spaces,
children can learn to identify and describe objects based on their attributes, understand the relationship
between objects and their position in space, and develop their problem-solving skills.
1.2. Visual skills are important in learning shape and space as children need to be able to visually identify
shapes and objects in their environment. Verbal skills are important for children to be able to
communicate and describe shapes and spaces. Movement/kinesthetic skills are important as they allow
children to physically interact with shapes and spaces, helping them understand concepts through
hands-on experiences. Tactile skills are important as they allow children to feel and touch different
shapes and objects, enhancing their understanding of textures and spatial relationships.
1.3. Position refers to the location of an object in relation to other objects or a reference point, while
direction refers to the way in which an object is facing or moving. For example, in a classroom, a pencil
might be positioned on the table next to a book. In terms of direction, a student might be asked to turn
left when exiting the classroom.
