This document contains workings, explanations and solutions to the FMT3701 Assignment 2 (QUALITY ANSWERS) 2024. For assistance call or us on 0.6.8..8.1.2..0.9.3.4....... QUESTION 1: (5) Explain the concept, ‘assessment’, as outlined in the CAPS document and your study guide. QUESTION 2: (8) There are various forms of assessment. Provide a mathematical example for each form of assessment listed below. (The example must be relevant to Mathematics in the Foundation Phase.) 2.1 Classwork observation 2.2 Orals/discussions 2.3 Practical demonstrations 2.4 Written work QUESTION 3: (10) Teaching and learning can focus on either the teacher or the learner. Thus, the concepts ‘teacher-centred’ and ‘learner-centred’ teaching and learning have been described by various theorist. Complete the table below on the teacher-centred and learner-centred approaches to teaching and learning. Teacher-centred Learner-centred Knowledge construction Role of the teacher Learner participation Role of assessment Emphasis on teaching and learning 6 QUESTION 4: (30) Many approaches to teaching, and different theories on how children develop and learn, have been documented through the years. Critically assess the three child development theories in your study guide and discuss the applicability of each one to the teaching and learning of Mathematics in the Foundation Phase. (10x3) (30) QUESTION 5: (10) As they venture out into the world, young children encounter patterns in different situations. From early on, they observe both natural and man-made patterns, and they find their own ways to describe and make meaning of them. With the above statement in mind, show how you would make provision for cultural diversity in your class, by making use of cultural activities and artefacts in patterning activities. Also decide how you would TEACH these patterning activities, to stimulate space and shape development in diverse learners. QUESTION 6: (20) In your own words, differentiate between the following concepts, and illustrate with examples. (Do not copy the examples from the study guide or textbook, be creative and come up with your own): • Object counting • Counting on • Counting backwards • Counting in multiples • Counting all (4x5) (20) QUESTION 7: (12) Predict possible reasons that could contribute to negative attitudes towards Mathematics and what you, as a teacher, can do to prevent the development of negative attitudes towards Mathematics. FMT3701/ASSESSMENT 2/0/2024 7 QUESTION 8: (5) It is important to highlight that triangles, just like other shapes, are multifaceted to learners. Highlight FIVE (5) things that you, as a teacher, would deem important for learners in the Foundation Phase to know about triangles.

, QUESTION 1

Assessment, as outlined in the CAPS (Continuous Assessment Policy)
document and further elaborated in the study guide, is defined as a continuous,
planned process aimed at identifying, gathering, and interpreting information
about learners' performance through various assessment forms. The process
encompasses four crucial steps: generating and collecting evidence of
achievement, evaluating this evidence, recording findings, and utilizing this data
to support and enhance learners' development and learning processes.

Importantly, assessment is categorized into two main types: formative and
summative assessment. Formative assessment, or assessment for learning, is
conducted continuously using informal methods to aid both teachers and
learners in ongoing self-reflection, planning, and instructional adjustments.
Summative assessment, or assessment of learning, occurs at the completion
of units or terms, providing a more formal evaluation of learner strengths and
weaknesses, and informing future goal-setting and reporting to stakeholders.

Additionally, baseline assessment is highlighted as essential for determining
learners' prior knowledge, identifying learning gaps, and guiding tailored
instructional planning at the start of an academic year. Assessment should
always be fair, flexible, valid, and reliable to truly benefit the learning
experience.



QUESTION 2

2.1. Classwork Observation

During a mathematics lesson on counting, the teacher observes a student
arranging objects (e.g., blocks) into groups of tens and ones. The teacher notes
how the student organizes the objects and uses counting strategies, checking
for understanding of place value concepts.



2.2. Orals/Discussions
