Question 1
The Dolphin class went to the playground for outdoor playtime. The teacher, Ms
Mokoena, took all 20 learners to the playground. She had a basket with toys. Inside the
basket were 5 balls, 10 skipping ropes, 5 medium tins and 20 wooden blocks. The
children enjoyed playing outdoor games in groups of 5. They had to pick up five
different sizes of the wooden blocks, put them inside the tin, run with it, jump over all 10
skipping ropes on the ground and put one block next to each group member. They then
had to go back to the starting point by jumping and counting backwards, taking one ball
and throwing it to each group member three times. The children each rotated the activity
in each group.
1.1 Analyze any five mathematical concepts that can be developed from the
playground activities.
Counting (forward and backward) – jumping and counting backwards, and counting
the skipping ropes.
One-to-one correspondence – putting one block next to each group member.
Classification / Sorting – picking up five different sizes of wooden blocks.
Measurement (capacity and size) – putting blocks inside a tin and selecting different
sizes.
Number operations (informal addition/subtraction) – throwing one ball to each group
