MIP2601Assignment 2 2025
Unique Number: 818131
Due date: 11 June 2025
QUESTION 1
1.1.
According to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Intermediate
Phase Mathematics in South Africa, geometry is not taught in isolation. It connects directly
with several other strands in the curriculum. The following four topics have a direct link to
geometry:
1. Numbers, Operations and Relationships
Geometry supports the development of spatial reasoning, which helps learners better
understand numerical relationships, estimation, and measurement. For example,
understanding the concept of area or perimeter in geometry can strengthen learners' grasp
of multiplication and addition. Also, visualising number lines and coordinate planes involves
geometric thinking.

2. Patterns, Functions and Algebra:
Geometry and pattern recognition are closely related. Identifying and describing
patterns in shapes (like tessellations or symmetrical designs) helps learners
understand the concept of sequences, variables, and functions. Transformations
such as reflection and rotation are geometric actions that also demonstrate algebraic
relationships.
3. Measurement:
Measurement involves applying geometric concepts such as length, area, volume,
and angles. Understanding the properties of 2D and 3D shapes is essential when
calculating dimensions, comparing sizes, and converting units. Geometry gives
structure and meaning to measurement activities.
