1 INTRODUCTION
This tutorial letter is linked to the module Emergent Mathematics (EMA1501). In this module
you will acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values on how to teach emergent
mathematical concepts which form the foundation for mathematical understanding. This is a
year module and is online (all information is available via the internet), meaning all learning
material, support for student will be electronic.
1.1 Assignments
As mentioned in the 101/0/2022. You need to complete all four (4) assignments for this
module.
ASSIGNMENT 02
Question 1
Read every statement below and write down the word or phrase defined.
1.1 This is the term we use to describe how children construct mathematical concepts and
acquire mathematical skills from birth.
1.2 His theory uses the zone of proximal development in learning.
1.3 The skill where the child can put things together that are alike or belongs together.
1.4 The type of concept or the activity where children compare their weight.
1.5 A child explores play through constructing, reasoning, and creating problem solving.
1.6 This is a stage where children intuitively sense attributes like length, mass, and time.
1.7 A continuous, planned process of identifying, gathering, and interpreting information
about the development and learning of babies, toddlers, and young children.
1.8 Derived through the representation of concrete objects such as pictures.
1.9 Something that happens in a regular and repeated way.
1.10 The level of understanding where children learn through doing and using real objects.
[10]
Question 2
2.1 There are theories that are implicated in the teaching and learning of emergent
mathematics in the early years of the child. Construct how learning takes place
during the different stages of development according to Piaget.
