SEMESTER 2
,QUESTION 1:
Instructions:
Choose ONE (1) of the following pre-number concepts AND plan appropriate activities for
each cognitive level (Concrete, semi concrete and abstract level) to show how you would
develop theconcept progressively with Grade R learners.
Sorting and Classifying
Reversibility and conservation
Matching
The activities should be developmentally appropriate for Grade R learners and should
demonstrate a clear progression from concrete to abstract thinking.
The plan should include the following:
A brief description of the pre-number concept and its importance in early childhood
education
A detailed description of the activities for each stage of cognitive development
The learning resources you would use in each stage
Clear learning outcomes for each activity
An explanation of how the activities will be assessed
Marking Rubric:
The assessment activity is out of 25 marks, with the following breakdown:
Description of Pre-Number Concept

The plan is well-organized, presented in a clear and professional
manner, and demonstrates attention to detail.
You will be penalised if you use the same examples in the study guide. Plan your own activities
Use the following structure to plan your activity
Activity 1.1: Pre- number concepts
Pre- number concept: Sorting and Classifying
Description of the concept: Sorting and classifying is a pre-number concept that involves
organizing objects or information based on similarities and differences. It helps develop
logical thinking, observation skills, and understanding of relationships between objects or
attributes. This concept is important in early childhood education as it lays the foundation for
later mathematical skills such as grouping, patterning, and problem-solving.
