EMA1501 Assignment 3 (Portfolio) Memo | Due 31 July 2025. All questions fully answered.QUESTION1 Shape treasure hunt Think of an activity you would do to introduce Grade R learners to basic shapes, counting, and spatial awareness through a fun and interactive treasure hunt. 1.1 For the activity, name and draw/illustrate or find and paste pictures of the materials needed: if you find pictures on the internet or other sources, please acknowledge or cite the sources. (10) 1. Name of resource: Illustration or picture: 1.2 Report on the steps you will take and instructions you will give to the learners for the treasure hunt activity under the headings given below: (20) Introduction (10 minutes) Shape treasure hunt (15 minutes) (4) Counting and sorting (10 minutes) (4) From the treasure hunt, what creative art activity will you do with the learners? (10 minutes) (4) Reflection and conclusion on the treasure hunt activity (5 minutes) (4) QUESTION 2 USING INDIGENOUS GAMES TO TEACH EMERGENT MATHEMATICS CONCEPTS Play is often referred to as a child’s work. It is the way that children experience life and are able to make sense of the world around them. Therefore, as we have already said, through play, children discover and learn many mathematical concepts. Look at the pictures and follow the instructioInstructions: 2.1 Plan five activities based on each of the five indigenous games pictured below. Your activities should focus on how to teach different emergent mathematical concepts to Grade R learners. You can choose ANY five different concepts you are learning about in emergent mathematics. Please also provide the outcome for each of the teaching activities. (25) NB: Each game must have a different concept to teach; no two activities must be on the same concept!ns given below: 2.1 Morabaraba Concept to be taught:______________________________ Outcome:____________________________________________________________ Activity:________________________________________________________________ 2.2 Malepa (String game) 2.3 Diketo 2.4 Jukskei 2.5 Tins Question 3 Story sums/Word problems Story sums are highly significant in reading comprehension and understanding basic mathematics principles. They promote an interest in mathematics by illustrating the connection between mathematics and the “real world”. Generally, word problems are used to challenge students to think critically. Story sums are an excellent source to use when teaching and testing the understanding of new concepts of mathematics. 3.1 Create five story sums/word problems appropriate for Grade R. Write down the steps you would follow to introduce each of the activities. (25)
