QUESTION 1: PRE-NUMBER CONCEPTS (25) Read the
statement below and answer the questions that follow. From
birth already, children are exposed to mathematical concepts and
activities. For example, when feeding a baby, a mother measures
the formula in millilitres; during bath times, nursery rhymes
like, “One, two, three, four five- once I caught a fish alive” can
be said, etc. 1.1 With the above statement in mind, discuss how
the following five pre-number concepts form the foundational
understanding of numbers and how these concepts contribute to
logical thinking about numbers. (5x3= 15) • One-to-one
correspondence • Comparison • Conservation • Ordering •
Subitising 1.2 Use an example of appropriate activities for each
of the above (1.1) pre-number concept to demonstrate your
understanding of these concepts. (5x2= 10)

wide variety of play experiences. 2.1 Identify the different types
of play illustrated in the two pictures below. (4) 2.2 Explain how
each type of play contributes to the development of mathematics
concepts in children. (2x3= 6) Picture 1 Picture 2
QUESTION 1: PRE-NUMBER CONCEPTS
, 1.1 Foundational Understanding of Pre-Number Concepts
One-to-One Correspondence
• Discussion: One-to-one correspondence is the ability to
match one object with one other object or countable item.
This concept helps children understand that each item is
counted once and only once, which forms the basis of
accurate counting and number recognition.
• Contribution to Logical Thinking: It ensures that
children can match quantities correctly, which is essential
for understanding that numbers represent quantities. This
concept helps in grasping the idea that numbers correspond
to specific amounts.
Comparison
• Discussion: Comparison involves understanding the
relationships between different quantities or numbers, such
as identifying which is larger or smaller. This concept is
foundational for understanding numerical relationships and
magnitude.
• Contribution to Logical Thinking: It aids in developing
the ability to judge and differentiate between quantities,
which is crucial for tasks like ordering numbers and
understanding the concept of "more than" or "less than."
Conservation
• Discussion: Conservation refers to the understanding that
quantity remains the same despite changes in shape or
arrangement. For instance, understanding that a ball of clay
remains the same amount regardless of how it is shaped.
