Question 1 1.1 Emergent mathematics is the term we use to describe how children construct mathematical concepts and acquire mathematical skills from birth. With the above statement in mind, differentiate between mathematical concepts and mathematical skills, and provide an example for each. Please do not use the examples from the guide, come up with your own. Mathematical Concepts are ideas or understandings about numbers and math that children develop in their minds. For example a child understands that when you add more toys to a group, the group gets bigger. This shows they understand the concept of addition. Mathematical Skills are the abilities or actions that children use to show what they know about math.
