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)
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.
