QUESTION 1
(20 Marks)
1.1: Identify TWO (2) diagrams you can use to teach doubling in the Foundation
Phase.
Number Line
Dot Cards
1.2: Motivation for each diagram
Number Line:
Using a number line allows learners to visualize jumping in equal steps. For doubling,
learners start at zero and jump forward twice the number of steps. For example, to
double 4, they jump 4 steps twice and land on 8. This builds number sense and
reinforces addition through movement.
Dot Cards:
Dot cards (e.g., ten-frames or subitizing cards) help learners see two equal sets. For
example, showing a card with five dots and another with five dots illustrates double 5 =
10. This method uses visual memory and aids learners who understand better through
pictures.
