unique number: 818131
Question 1: Geometry Thinking and Geometric Concepts**
**1.1 Links Between Geometry and Other Intermediate Phase Topics (CAPS)**
The Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Intermediate Phase
Mathematics (South Africa) links geometry to the following topics:
1. **Numbers, Operations, and Relationships:** Geometry provides a visual and
spatial context for understanding numbers, especially fractions and decimals.
* **Explanation:** Partitioning shapes into equal parts to represent fractions
(e.g., dividing a rectangle into fourths to represent 1/4) helps learners visualize
fraction concepts. Measuring the length, width, and area of shapes involves using
numbers and performing operations.
2. **Measurement:** Geometry is fundamental to understanding measurement
concepts, including length, area, volume, and angles.
* **Explanation:** Learners measure the sides of shapes to calculate perimeter
and area. They explore the attributes of 3D objects to understand volume. They use
protractors to measure angles. Measurement relies on understanding the properties
of geometric shapes.
