MFP1501 Assignment 2 2025
Unique Number:
Due date: 18 July 2025
QUESTION 1: (20 Marks)
1.1 Identify TWO (2) diagrams that you can use to teach doubling in the Foundation
Phase.
1. Pyramid format diagram
2. Spider web format diagram
1.2 Motivate how you will use each diagram in Question 1.1.
1. Pyramid Format:
I will use this diagram by placing small numbers in the bottom blocks of the pyramid and
asking learners to double those numbers to fill in the top blocks. For example, if the bottom
blocks have 2 and 2, the learner must write 4 in the block above them. This helps learners to
visually understand that doubling is the same as adding the same number twice.

2. Spider Web Format:
For this activity, I will write the instruction “Double the number” in the centre circle of
the web. Around it, I will place numbers like 3, 5, and 8 in the outer blocks. Learners
will then calculate and write the doubles of those numbers (6, 10, and 16). This
method helps learners to work independently with a clear focus on the concept of
doubling.
1.3 Differentiate between TWO (2) situations of division using the table below
as a guide. Give TWO (2) examples per each situation. Do not copy what is in
the study guide.
