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
The development of pre-number concepts in early childhood plays a critical role in forming the
foundational understanding of numbers, laying the groundwork for logical thinking and
mathematical development. Here’s how each of the five pre-number concepts contributes:
1. One-to-One Correspondence
Definition: This is the concept where each object in one set is matched with exactly one object
in another set. For example, when a child counts objects, they learn to assign one number to each
object.
Contribution to Number Understanding: One-to-one correspondence is fundamental to
understanding the concept of counting. It teaches children that numbers correspond to specific
quantities and helps them understand that the last number counted represents the total quantity of
objects.
Contribution to Logical Thinking: This concept aids in the development of the understanding
of equality, matching, and comparison between sets of objects. Children also develop the skill of
associating objects with numbers, which is foundational for more advanced mathematical
operations like addition and subtraction.
2. Comparison
Definition: Comparison involves examining the differences and similarities between objects or
sets, such as comparing sizes, quantities, or lengths (e.g., more/less, bigger/smaller).
