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.

(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.
