FMT3701 Assignment 2 2023 () 100% TRUSTED workings, explanations and solutions. Question 1 • 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): 4x5 (20) • Object counting • Counting on • Counting backwards • Counting in multiples • Counting all • In table format identify and compare two (2) major approaches to teaching mathematics as mentioned in the study guide. Explain how you would apply these approaches in mathematics teaching. 5x2 (10) (30) Question 2 Many approaches to teaching and different theories on how children develop and learn have been documented through the years. 2.1 Identify three of the child development theorists as discussed in your study guide and critically evaluate the three child development theories and explain the applicability of each one to the teaching and learning of mathematics in the Foundation Phase. 10x3 (30) Question 3 Young children encounter patterns in different situations as they venture out into the world. From early on, they observe both natural and man-made patterns and find their own ways to describe and make meaning of them. 3.1. With the above statement in mind, explain how you would make provision for cultural diversity in your class by making use of cultural activities and artefacts in patterning activities. Also explain how you would use these patterning activities to stimulate language development in diverse learners. (10) Question 4 The teaching of space and shape involves making connections across other areas of mathematics like numbers, operations and relationships, patterns, measurement and data handling. • Plan a problem-based activity on any concept under Space and Shape for Grade 3 learners and explain how you would use data handling to solve the problem. (20) Question 5 Time is often a complex concept for young learners to fully grasp, it is abstract and continuous and not as concrete in nature as the measurement of length, mass, capacity, volume, perimeter or area. 5.1 Argue how you would integrate technology into the teaching of time. (5) Question 6 Bloom’s taxonomy categorizes levels of thinking, from lower order thinking skills to higher order thinking skills, in terms of difficulty, and are used throughout educational systems to help teachers teach and learners learn. 6.1 In a paragraph of five to six lines, justify the importance of Bloom’s Taxonomy for teachers.
