8. SECTION B: EMERGENT MATHEMATICS
ACTIVITY 1 (9)
In EMA1501 Unit 1, we have learned that children are exposed to emergent mathematics
through play. Play is often referred to as child’s work because it is the way that children
experience life and can make sense of the world around them. It is therefore, as we have
said, through play that children discover and learn mathematical concepts. It is important
that many opportunities be provided for play. We have also learned that there are six types
of play. Observe your mentor teacher in practice and identify at least three types of play.
Explain how she/he provided or planned activities that afforded learners opportunities to
learn.
Play 1 (e.g., Parallel Play):
During free playtime, I noticed that children were engaged in activities alongside each other,
such as building with blocks or playing in the sandpit. Although they were not directly
interacting, they were observing each other's actions and learning through their own
exploration.
Play 2 (e.g., Associative Play):
In small group activities, the teacher encouraged children to work together on tasks like
puzzles or board games. This type of play allowed them to share ideas and materials,
fostering cooperation and social interaction.
Play 3 (e.g., Cooperative Play):
During structured group activities, the teacher organized games that required teamwork,
such as relay races or building projects. These activities encouraged children to collaborate,
communicate, and problem-solve together, promoting a deeper understanding of
mathematical concepts.
