Question 1: Geometry Thinking and Geometric Concepts
1.1 Four Intermediate Phase Mathematics Topics Linked to Geometry
Measurement involves calculating geometric properties such as perimeter, area, angles, and
volume. For example, learners use formulas to find the area of triangles or rectangles, directly
applying geometric principles.
CAPS Alignment
The curriculum emphasizes describing shapes by their sides, angles, and symmetry, which
requires measurement skills.
Patterns, Functions, and Algebra
Geometric patterns e.g., sequences of shapes help learners identify rules and relationships.
For instance, extending a pattern of growing hexagons involves algebraic reasoning.
CAPS Alignment
Learners investigate geometric patterns in physical/diagram form and translate them into
number sentences or flow diagrams.
Spatial Sense/Visualization
Spatial reasoning involves understanding shapes, positions, and transformations e.g.,
rotation, reflection. Activities like interpreting maps or building 3D models develop this skill.
CAPS Alignment
The curriculum requires learners to recognize, describe, and classify 2-D shapes and 3-D
objects in the environment.
Data Handling
Representing data through graphs e.g., pie charts, bar graphs uses geometric elements like
angles and proportions. Interpreting these visuals strengthens geometric literacy.
