Description
This EMA1501 Assessment 2 submission demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of emergent mathematics in the Foundation Phase. It covers learning units 1 to 7 of the module and includes clear explanations of core concepts such as number sense, pattern recognition, measurement, and data handling, supported by practical examples tailored for Grade R learners.
The assignment critically compares the cognitive development theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner, highlighting how their approaches influence teaching strategies in mathematics. Real-life classroom scenarios are used to illustrate the four stages of the data-handling process and the importance of sorting. The role of play-based learning is emphasized throughout, with original teaching activities—including a symmetry lesson and a custom-designed birthday chart—to enhance learner engagement.
The work reflects a well-rounded, human-centered approach, rooted in the study guide, academic references, and best practices in early childhood mathematics education.
