QUESTION 1: (38) Learning and teaching support materials / resources
(LTSM) provide the structure for teaching within which learners explore,
experiment, plan and make decisions for themselves, thus enabling them to
learn, develop and make good progress.
1.1. Briefly provide the importance of resources and complete the following
table to emphasise the structure LTSM provide for teaching and learning.
(10) A brief explanation of the resources (1) Name three categories of
resources you can use to enhance your teaching and learning in the
Foundation Phase (3). Provide an example of each category (3). Explain
how each identified resource can be used in the teaching of the following
Foundation Phase subjects: - Mathematics - Home Language - First
Additional Language - Life Skills (3)
Importance of Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM):
Resources provide a scaffold for teaching, guiding learners
through exploration and decision-making.
They facilitate active engagement, allowing learners to
experiment and develop understanding independently.
LTSM promote progress by offering varied approaches to
learning, catering to diverse learning styles and needs.
They enhance comprehension and retention through visual
aids, interactive tools, and practical applications.
Category Example Explanation
Visual aids Flashcards Visual aids like flashcards can be used in Mathematics to illustrate concepts like numbers,
shapes, and operations. In Home Language, they can display vocabulary words for spelling
and grammar practice. In First Additional Language, they can depict common phrases and
, Category Example Explanation
expressions. In Life Skills, they can show images representing different emotions or daily
activities.
Manipulatives such as counting blocks are effective in Mathematics for hands-on
exploration of counting, addition, and subtraction. In Home Language, they can be used to
create sentences or stories, enhancing language comprehension. In First Additional
Language, they aid in practicing vocabulary through interactive games. In Life Skills, they
Counting can represent objects for role-playing scenarios, promoting social interaction and problem-
Manipulatives blocks solving.
Multimedia resources like educational videos can supplement Mathematics lessons by
providing visual explanations of concepts and problem-solving strategies. In Home
Language, they can showcase storytelling and pronunciation, enhancing listening skills. In
First Additional Language, they offer exposure to authentic language usage and cultural
Multimedia Educational contexts. In Life Skills, they can present real-life scenarios and examples to teach essential
resources videos life skills such as hygiene or safety.
1.2 Buéljeta (2013:56) describes the purpose of teaching and learning
resources as being to “assist the teacher with the presentation and
transmission of educational content and the achievement of educational
objectives, whilst aiding the students in acquiring knowledge and profiling
different abilities and values”.
Buéljeta (2013:56) encapsulates the purpose of teaching and learning
resources as twofold:
1. Assisting the teacher with presentation and transmission of
educational content: Resources serve as tools for educators to
effectively convey curriculum content to students. They provide
means for illustrating complex concepts, facilitating discussion, and
engaging learners in active participation.
2. Aiding students in acquiring knowledge and profiling
different abilities and values: Resources support diverse
learning styles and abilities, enabling students to comprehend and
internalize educational content. They offer opportunities for
students to develop various skills, such as critical thinking, problem-
solving, and creativity, while also fostering the cultivation of values
such as collaboration, respect, and responsibility.
Discuss the common goals of using LTSM in your classroom. Illustrate
each goal by giving an example from each of the subjects, Maths, Life
