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)

1.1 Discussion: Pre-Number Concepts and Their Role in
Understanding Numbers (5x3=15)
1. One-to-One Correspondence
One-to-one correspondence is the ability to match one
object to one other object or person, forming the basis of
counting. It is foundational for understanding that
numbers represent quantities. This skill helps children
understand that numbers have specific values and that
, counting involves pairing numbers with items consistently.
Contribution to Logical Thinking: It teaches children the
concept of equality and establishes the relationship
between numbers and objects, which is crucial for
operations like addition and subtraction.
2. Comparison
Comparison involves determining the similarities or
differences between objects or groups, such as identifying
which group has more, less, or the same amount. This
concept helps children develop critical thinking skills
related to quantities.
Contribution to Logical Thinking: By comparing items,
children learn about quantitative relationships (e.g.,
greater than, less than), which are key to understanding
number sequences and relative values in mathematics.
3. Conservation
Conservation refers to understanding that the quantity of a
set remains the same regardless of changes in its
arrangement or appearance. A child recognizes that even if
you spread objects out, the number of objects does not
change.
Contribution to Logical Thinking: It develops a deeper
understanding of numbers and quantities as abstract
concepts, allowing children to grasp more complex
operations like multiplication and division, where
quantities are manipulated in different ways.
