EMA1501
Question 1
The diagram below is the data handling cycle, and it is used in emergent
mathematics as a tool to collect, organise, represent, and interpret numerical
information or data.
1. In the Foundation Phase, learners are taught to work with all four elements of the data
handling process, however, in the Grade R classroom, learners are taught how to work
with data, starting with collecting, sorting and then representing the data. In two to three
sentences, explain why Grade R learners only stop at representing the data. (2)
In Grade R, learners focus on collecting, sorting, and representing data
to build foundational skills in handling numerical information in a
concrete and accessible manner. At this early stage, the emphasis is on
understanding basic concepts of classification and visualization, as
interpreting data requires more advanced cognitive skills that develop
in later grades. This gradual progression allows young learners to gain
confidence and a solid grounding in the principles of data handling
before tackling more complex interpretations.
2. In your own words, compare and contrast the sequence in which Grade R learners
master data handling skills to the sequence in which Grades 1 to 3 master data
handling. Write it in two paragraphs of about 5 to 6 lines or about 100 words each.
(5x2=10)
In Grade R, learners typically begin with foundational data handling
skills that focus on basic concepts of sorting and classifying
information. They engage in hands-on experiences, using concrete
objects to categorize items by attributes such as color, shape, or size.
Through playful activities, such as grouping toys or using stickers, they
develop an initial understanding of how to organize data. Their
emphasis is on experiential learning, which fosters a natural curiosity
and introduction to simple data concepts, laying the groundwork for
more complex skills in later grades.
