Study pp 21 to 29 of the CAPS: Mathematics – Intermediate Phase, which contains the
Intermediate Phase overview for Space and Shape (Geometry) and Measurement, then
respond to the following questions:
1.1 Critically review the progression from Grade 4 to Grade 6 for each of the six topics that
fall under the content area, Space and Shape (Geometry). Write a short paragraph (three
sentences) on each topic that you discuss, and motivate whether the progression provides
sufficient cognitive and conceptual challenge at the relevant grade levels.
Space and Shape (Geometry)
3.1 Properties of 2-D shapes
The topic discusses gives the right amount of cognitive and conceptual challenges relative to
the case. It provides the right challenges for Grades 4, 5, and 6. It is appropriate for the
students to learn it because the basic knowledge starts from grade 4, and as they go for
another year, the continuation of the topic grows, and they learn more for they know the
basic steps first.
3.2 Properties of 3-D objects
The topic gives the right amount of cognitive challenges for the students. The
discussion provides more knowledge in the subject, and it will be great because of the
spiral progression that the basic was thought of first. Then the activities presented are
also suitable for each grade level.
3.3 Symmetry
For Grade 4 students, it is enough. But for Grade 5 and 6, I think it's too little. Adding some
more activities like naming objects that are symmetrical will improve their knowledge of
symmetry and relate it to real-life things or situations.
3.4 Transformations
, For this topic, it is fair enough. It is good that it is more likely discuss in primary, and then
the actual doing will be more in the next year's levels. Their abilities to do will also be
suitable for they will be older enough to experience doing such works with their abilities.
3.5 Viewing of objects
This topic provides fair cognitive development to the students. Every year level offers
good sources of information that is appropriate for their year level. In this one, the
development of the cognitive skills of the students will grow.
3.6 Position and movement
The cognitive development strategy is fair enough. For every year level, they provide
appropriate objectives and activities. And it is related to real-life for the students in higher
levels need to be familiarized with using its ideas.
1.2 Critically review the progression made from Grade 4 to Grade 6 for each of the seven
topics under the content area, Measurement. Write a short paragraph (three sentences)
on each topic that you discuss, and motivate whether the progression provides
sufficient cognitive and conceptual challenge at the relevant grade levels.
Measurement
4.1 Length
This topic, I think, will be too much for Grade 4 Students. It is fair to use some small
numbers in the problem solving, or it can also be acceptable if we use only mm, cm and
meters. It is too little for Grade 5 and 6; they can also learn Hectometer, Decimeter,
and Decameter.
