Part 1 IntroductionThe National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (January 2011) replace the National Curriculum Statements Grades R–9 (2002) and the National Curriculum Statements Grades 10–12 (2004). The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Foundation Phase Mathematics (Grades R–3) comes into effect in January 2012, and replaces the Subject Statements, Learning Programme Guidelines and Subject Assessment Guidelines that were used before then.

The instructional time for subjects in the Foundation Phase is given in the table below.

• Physical education 2

• Personal and social well-being 1

The mathematics curriculum: aims and skillsThe aims of the national curriculum for Mathematics, as set out in the CAPS, are to develop the following qualities in learners:

• a critical awareness of how mathematical relationships are used in social, environmental, cultural and economic relations;

• confidence and competence to deal with any mathematical situation without being hindered by a fear of mathematics;

• a spirit of curiosity and a love for mathematics;• an appreciation for the beauty and elegance of mathematics;• recognition that mathematics is a creative part of human

activity;• deep understanding of concepts needed to make sense of

mathematics;• acquisition of specific knowledge and skills necessary for:

o the application of mathematics to physical, social and mathematical problems;

o the study of related subject matter (e.g. other subjects)o the further study of mathematics.

The CAPS lists the following specific skills that learners must acquire to develop their essential mathematical skills:

• correct use of the language of mathematics;• number vocabulary, number concept and calculation and

application skills;• ability to listen, communicate, think, reason logically and

apply the mathematical knowledge gained;

CAPS Math Gr 2 TG.indb 5 2011/11/16 2:51 PM

6 Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Introduction

• ability to investigate, analyse, represent and interpret information;

• ability to pose and solve problems;• awareness of the important role that mathematics plays in

real-life situations, including the personal development of the learner.

Problem-solving and mathematics

This Study and Master Mathematics course aims to encourage learner-centred and activity-based learning through problem-solving, an approach which should be applied throughout the course.

Problem-solving is one of the unique features of learning and teaching mathematics. Learners should be able to:

• make sense of problems;• analyse, synthesise (create), determine and execute solution

strategies;• validate (confirm) and interpret the solutions appropriate to

the context.

You should realise that problem-solving does not necessarily imply solving word problems. Word problems could be examples of extending problems that test knowledge involving the use and validation of learned techniques.

In a problem-solving situation, it may be highly unlikely that learners have had previous instruction on how to tackle the problems they are facing. Learners should invent their own solution strategies using different problem-solving procedures. There are no readymade recipes or blueprints for searching for and finding problem-solving solutions.

Solutions and strategies are not as obvious in problem-solving situations as they are in word problems. In word problems it is easy to identify which operations to apply to solve the problem. Problem-solving is not a topic that can be learned. It is a process in which learners can explore situations by applying different skills. Learners construct new meaning by building on previous knowledge and experiences in an active, cooperative environment.

Learners do not learn problem-solving techniques by memorising rules or consulting checklists. You should raise consistent awareness of the different techniques suitable for different problem-solving situations. You could give the problem as a homework task, group activity or introduction to new concepts (knowledge), or deal with it in an oral or written situation that applies to all learners without gender or culture bias.

Keep in mind that it is important to acknowledge that people are fundamentally different, and experience problem situations differently. Expect learners to apply a wide range of different methods and ideas in the problem-solving process. Monitor learner groups carefully and encourage discussions and arguments while questioning learners about their progress.

7Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Introduction

Have a class discussion on making mistakes, working well together, useful steps to keep in mind during the lesson, and enjoyment as an important part of mathematics activity. Discuss each aspect and ask learners questions like: How do you feel when you have made a mistake? Why do you feel this way? Explain, for example, what it means to work towards a common goal.

Inclusivity in the mathematics classroom

The ultimate aim of an inclusive school is to contribute towards the development of an inclusive society, where diversity is respected and used as a tool for building a stronger community.

Inclusive education is a process whereby barriers to successful learning are identified and then removed for every learner. This starts at the school level, where the physical environment should be designed to accommodate learners who are differently-abled, where the school principal, the staff and the parents/guardians work together to create a good school ethos and where specialised equipment and/or personnel are provided for the differently-abled learners.

Highlight on a day-to-day basis the aspects of mathematics that encourage cooperative learning and respect for diversity.

Plan activities on an individual, pair or group basis so that you can meet the different needs of learners.

Homogeneous groups or pairs (in which all the learners have more or less the same level of skill and knowledge) are appropriate when the purpose of the group is to assist learners who have a common special educational need. Use homogeneous groups to cope with differentiated learning, for example when learners who have completed a class activity are given an individual or group extension activity while you work with the rest of the class; or for a group that needs more intensive input from you to understand and complete an activity. The intention is not for these groups to be fixed groups, but that learners move to different groups according to their needs and progress.

Heterogeneous groups have a number of advantages. These groups consist of learners with diverse backgrounds, gender, language and ability. Heterogeneous groups expose learners to new ideas, generate more discussion, and allow explanations to be given and received more frequently, which increases understanding. Peer-tutoring, where two learners with different skills are paired, can be a mutually enriching experience.

Content areas in Foundation Phase Mathematics

Mathematics in the Foundation Phase covers five content areas: • Numbers, operations and relationships• Patterns, functions and algebra• Space and Shape (Geometry)• Measurement• Data handling

Orientation and Baseline assessment

During this time select a few appropriate activities from Grade 1 books and

do revision and consolidation of Grade 1 work. During the teaching and

execution of these activities the educator should move around amongst the

learners to observe and record the ability levels the learners are at.

Each content area contributes towards the acquisition of specific skills. The table in the CAPS document (under “Documents” at the back of this file) shows the general focus of the content areas in the Mathematics curriculum for all phases, as well as the specific content focus for the Foundation Phase.

Each content area is divided into topics. All the content areas must be taught every term – see the Weekly teaching schedule below.

Please note

In Study & Master Mathematics Grade 1–3 the activities within each content area are set out in such a way that concepts and skills are scaffolded and developed progressively, allowing educators to determine progression and speed for the various ability level groups in the class.

15Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Introduction

The Weekly teaching schedule shows how the content areas can be spread and revisited throughout the year. You may choose to sequence and pace the topics in each content area differently from the way the teaching schedule does this. If you do, it is important to bear in mind the relative weighting and notional hours of the content areas when you plan your teaching schedule for each topic.

Weighting of content areasMathematics content areas are weighted for two purposes: firstly the weighting gives guidance on the amount of time needed to adequately cover the content in each content area; secondly the weighting gives teachers guidance on the spread of content in the examination (especially in the end-of-year summative assessment).

The weighting of the content is not the same for each grade in the Foundation Phase. The table below shows the different weightings, per grade.

Table 2: Weighting of content areas in Foundation Phase Mathematics

Weighting of content areasContent area Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3Numbers, operations and relationships* 65% 60% 58%

Patterns, functions and algebra 10% 10% 10%

Space and shape (geometry) 11% 13% 13%

Measurement 9% 12% 14%

Data handling (statistics) 5% 5% 5%

100% 100% 100%

* In Grades 1–3, Numbers, operations and relationships are the main focus of mathematics. By the end of the Foundation Phase learners need to have a secure number sense and operational fluency that they can take with them into the next phase. The aim is for learners to be competent and confident with numbers and calculations. For this reason the notional time allocated to the Numbers, operations and relationships content area has been increased. Most of the work on patterns in the Patterns, functions and algebra content area should focus on Number patterns, to further consolidate learners’ ability to work with numbers. The section ‘Allocation of teaching time’ in Part 2 below gives more information about how your teaching time should be organised to cover all the content areas in the course of the year.

Progression in content areas across the Foundation PhaseIn the Foundation Phase Mathematics curriculum, links are created between the learners’ experience gained in their pre-school and home life, and the more abstract mathematics they will encounter in later grades. In Grades 1–3 they should have many mathematical experiences that give them opportunities to “do, talk and record” their mathematical thinking. Suggestions for planning and organising these types of classroom mathematical experiences are given in Part 2 of this Teacher’s Guide.

Learners develop their skills and knowledge in each content area in a careful progression from Grade R to Grade 3. The Phase overview gives an overview of this progression for the whole Foundation Phase.

49Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

Part 2 PlanningPlanning and organising your mathematics teachingThe Teacher’s Guide is an essential component of this series. It gives clear instructions on how to teach the concepts the learners need to master in Grade 2. It also provides guidance on how to use the Learner’s Book and Workbook so that learners can practise the concepts learnt.

Use this Teacher’s Guide as a starting point and then refer to the Learner’s Book and Workbook when the Teacher’s Guide instructs you to do so. For the Workbook activities the learners should write their answers in the Workbook. Provide the learners with sheets of paper or exercise books to complete their activities for the Learner’s Book.

In the Teacher’s Guide a section is dedicated to each concept the learners have to grasp. At the beginning of the content area (called “Modules” in the Learner’s Book) you will see the topics you are dealing with.

Allocation of teaching timeThe CAPS allocates teaching time for mathematics as follows:

• 10 weeks per term for 4 terms, with 7 hours for mathematics per week: 10 × 4 × 7 = 280 hours per year

• 5 lessons per week for 10 weeks each term• 1 lesson per day of 1 hour 24 minutes• Allow one week at the start of each term for orientation

and consolidation, to help children who have forgotten a lot of the content during the holidays.

• Allow a further week at the beginning of each term to consolidate concepts and knowledge that will be a baseline for the next phase of teaching and learning during the term.

• This leaves 4 terms of 8 weeks each with 5 lessons per week: 4 × 8 × 5 = 160 lessons.

• In the Foundation Phase about 3 lessons every week should be focused on Numbers, operations and relationships. The remaining 2 lessons can be used to focus on other content areas. Shape and space and Measurement will need more time than Data handling and Number patterns.

Resources in the classroomBesides the resources listed for each unit, you will need to have these items in your classroom at all times:

• number charts from 1–100 and 101–200• vertical and horizontal number lines• a counting frame• counters of the same colour and kind• counters of different colours• counting objects such as stones, blocks, beads, buttons,

bottle tops, pegs and sticks, ice-cream sticks, shells

different sizes• other quadrilaterals, also pentagons and hexagons• empty containers, including bottles (plastic)• match boxes• empty toilet rolls• egg boxes or trays• string, wool, rope• paint• dice• playing cards,• mathematical games such as Ludo, dominoes, puzzles,

tangrams, snakes and ladders• climbing and balancing equipment• play money (notes and coins)• a play-shop with items that can be bought and sold.

Under the heading Learning experiences you will find a step-by-step breakdown suggesting what you should do to teach the concepts relating to each topic. Once the learners have understood the concepts, they can practise and reinforce what they have learnt by doing the activities in their Learner’s Books and the worksheets in the Workbooks.

51Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

Organising the daily mathematics periodAccording to the CAPS, ‘all the time allocated to mathematics on a single day should be considered as one period’. The daily mathematics period should include all of the following:

Whole class activity

• Mental mathematics• Consolidation of concepts• Classroom management (allocation of independent

activities, etc.)

Small group teaching

• Counting• Concept development (oral and practical activities)• Problem-solving (oral and practical activities)• Written recording of mathematical thinking• Developing calculating strategies (oral and practical

activities)

Independent work

• Learners practise and consolidate concepts developed in whole class and small group activities.

More details about these different aspects of daily classroom activity are given in the CAPS under Documents in this file.

Counting activities

Learners need to understand mathematics and therefore they need to experience it and make sense of it through their own thinking and doing activity. A learner’s understanding of numbers is the basis of his or her understanding of mathematics. Counting should therefore always be the starting point in mathematics, as it forms part of an essential process in the development of an understanding of number. Involve the learners daily in counting activities and encourage them to count as far as they can. At the same time, allow the learners to develop at their own pace and at their own level. Learners can do their daily counting activities individually, in pairs, in groups or as a class.

Learners need to go through different stages of progression to develop their understanding of number. Guide them to progress from one level of counting to the next. These levels are:

• Counting all numbers: The learners count all the numbers. When they add numbers they will start counting from 1 every time.

• Counting on: The learners count on from a given number. When adding numbers they will start counting from the given number and continue. For example, if the learners add 7 + 3 they will start counting from 7 and then count 8, 9, 10.

• Decomposing numbers: The learners break down numbers and develop their understanding of the value of numbers.

CAPS Math Gr 2 TG.indb 51 2011/11/16 2:51 PM

Page 53: Study & Master Mathematics Teacher's File Grade 2

52 Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

They will know the number components (parts) of a number and therefore they will not have to count. For example, 4 and 3 are number components of 7.

In Grade 2 the learners should do counting activities every day. As part of these daily counting activities they should identify the numbers on the number chart or number lines and write the number symbols and the number names. Here are a few suggestions for activities:

Count concrete objects such as stones, blocks, beads, buttons, bottle tops, plastic bottle rings, pegs, sticks, match sticks, books, pencils, crayons, tables, chairs, windows, bricks, eyes, ears, feet, legs, hands, toes and fingers.

• Count counters.• Count things in pictures, magazines, books and

newspapers.• Count from 0–10.• Count from 0–15.• Count from 0–20.• Count from 0–50.• Count in ones from 0–80.• Count in tens from 0–100.• Count forwards.• Count backwards.• Count even numbers.• Count odd numbers.• Count from given numbers.• Count in twos.• Count in fives.

When doing counting activities make use of the number chart, number lines or a counting frame. Counting is not about memorising or chanting numbers, but about understanding numbers. The learners need to touch or move concrete objects when counting, or point to the numbers on the number chart or number lines.

Mental mathematics

The CAPS states that mental mathematics plays a very important role in the mathematics curriculum. Learners must know and be able to recall number bonds and multiplication table facts, as listed in the CAPS content area and topic tables for each grade at the back of this Teacher’s Guide. They must also use this skill in a range of skip counting and ‘chain’ calculation activities. Mental mathematics is an important part of the Counting and number concept sections relating to Number and patterns, and is also sometimes used in Measurement and Data handling activities.

When doing mental mathematics, it is important never to force the learners to do mental calculations that they cannot manage. They should have writing materials and/or counters available to help them with the calculations, if they can’t do them entirely by mental methods.

53Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

A teaching strategy that builds conceptual and social skills

The learning experiences in this course are designed for group work, pair work, individual work and for the whole class to do together. This cultivates an ethos of cooperation and working together. Letting learners work together is a very useful and successful teaching strategy. It helps the learners develop social skills such as cooperating in teams, taking turns, showing respect and responsibility, as well as listening and communicating effectively through interactive learning.

Helping learners overcome barriers to learning mathematics

Learners who experience barriers to learning mathematics should be given many opportunities for activity-based learning, to help them overcome their barriers at the pace that works for them. They should be given more time to do practical examples, using concrete objects and practical experiences, than other learners. Moving too soon to abstract work may make these learners feel frustrated, and lead to them losing any mathematical understanding and skills they have developed.

When organising daily classroom activities, allow more time for these learners to complete tasks, use their own strategies to develop their thinking skills, and do assessment activities. You may also need to reduce the number of activities you give to these learners, without leaving out any of the concepts and skills that need to be introduced and consolidated.

Suggested structure for a mathematics periodThe flow diagram on the next page presents a possible structure for a mathematics period. As suggested earlier, do counting activities with the learners daily. Learners can do these activities individually, in pairs, in groups or as a class. After the counting activities, do mat work to teach concepts (knowledge) and skills. You can do mat work with groups of four, six or eight learners, and the groups can be mixed groups or ability groups. The concepts taught in these learning experiences will cover topics in Content areas 1 to 5.

Keep in mind that you do not necessarily have to cover a whole topic on any single day. It might take your learners much longer to grasp a concept in that topic, and you can spread the learning experiences for the topic over a few days.

55Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

AssessmentThe purpose of assessment is to inform you, the learners and their parents or guardians about their performance. Assessment also serves as a tool for you to reflect on and analyse your own teaching practice, as this impacts on the learners’ performance. You can use your assessment to see whether you need to provide more opportunities for some or all of the learners to develop a particular skill or master a concept in a given topic.

You should develop a well planned process to identify, record and interpret the performance of your learners throughout the year, using both informal and formal assessment methods. Keep a record of the learners’ performance on assessment sheets, and summarise this information on a report form or card to give the learners and their parents or guardians at certain times of the year. You may photocopy the various assessment sheets provided in this Teacher’s Guide to use in your classroom.

Assessment methods

You can use various methods to assess the learners’ progress during the year. Any assessment method involves four steps:

• generate and collect evidence of learners’ achievement;• evaluate this evidence;• record your findings;• use this information to understand learners’ development

and help them improve the process of learning, and also to improve your teaching.

Before you undertake any assessment of learners’ work, decide on a set of criteria or standards for what they should be able to understand and do, and base your assessment on these criteria. It is important that you give the learners clear instructions on what you expect of them, so that they can complete the assessment tasks correctly and honestly. Once an assessment task has been completed, discuss your assessment with the learners and give them feedback to help them increase their ability to do the task successfully.

In the Foundation Phase assessment is a continuous process. In the course of the year, your continuous assessment plan should include informal and formal assessment. These are some of the methods you can use:

• Observation is your main assessment method for informal and formal assessment. Try to observe a few learners at a time. Select an observation sheet from the photocopiable assessment sheets in this Teacher’s Guide and record your observations for these learners. For informal assessment purposes you should also keep an observation book in which you record notes on each learner’s achievement in daily activities. For formal assessment, you will use checklists and rubrics to write down your observations while learners are performing set tasks.

CAPS Math Gr 2 TG.indb 55 2011/11/16 2:51 PM

Page 57: Study & Master Mathematics Teacher's File Grade 2

56 Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

• Performance-based assessment consists of tasks in which learners must create, produce or demonstrate something. You need to assess both the process learners use to complete the task, and the end product they produce.

• Written work to be assessed can include worksheets and tests. A test is a written task completed individually by learners within a set time span. Tests should consist of questions and tasks similar to those that learners have already done in class, with the support of the teacher and other learners. A test should not include new types of questions or tasks that learners have not encountered before. w Standardisation exercises provided to schools should

not be used as tests in Grades 1 and 2, as they are not intended to assess individual learners; rather, their purpose is to help teachers reflect on their own teaching practice.

w Written assessments on their own don’t provide the teacher with enough information to understand why learners are making errors. These tests should therefore always be used together with observation and other informal assessment methods (such as interviews with learners) to find out what learners are thinking when they do a mathematics activity.

You should practise continuous assessment by monitoring all the written work done by learners. All written work should be kept as evidence of learners’ progress, and to identify their needs.

Further details are given below about informal and formal assessment methods specified in the CAPS.

Informal assessment

Informal assessment is done on a daily basis, as learners work on their learning activities. It should not be seen as a separate activity from learning and teaching.

Due to the fact that learners assimilate content at a varied pace makes it important that the educator continuously record informal assessments as learners interact with the content.

You can do this assessment by observing the learners as they work, by asking them to demonstrate a particular skill, or by talking to a learner about his or her thinking during an activity. Learners can also assess each other’s skills and understanding as they do a shared activity. This encourages them to reflect on their own performance and recognise where they need help.

The information you gather in this informal assessment need not be recorded, unless you find this useful. The results of this assessment are not counted for promotion purposes.

57Study & Master Mathematics Grade 2 • Planning

Formal assessment

Formal assessment consists of the tasks that you mark and formally record during the year for progression and certification purposes. These tasks are subject to moderation, to ensure that they maintain the appropriate quality and standards. Formal assessment provides you with a systematic way to evaluate how well the learners are progressing.

There are no examinations in the Foundation Phase. All formal assessment tasks are conducted using continuous assessment methods.

Examples of formal assessment tasks are: tests, practical tasks, projects, oral presentations, demonstrations, etc. At regular intervals the educator should conduct a formal assessment from extracts of the content that has been taught to and practiced by the learners.

Assessing learners who experience barriers to learning

Learners who experience barriers to learning should be given opportunities to demonstrate their competence in ways that suit their needs. You may have to consider using some or all of the following methods when assessing these learners:

• Allow these learners to use concrete apparatus for a longer time than other learners in the class.

• Break up assessment tasks (especially written tasks) into smaller sections for learners who have difficulty concentrating for long periods, or give them short breaks during the task.

• Learners who are easily distracted may need to do their assessment tasks in a separate venue.

• Use a variety of assessment methods, as some learners may not be able to demonstrate what they can do using certain types of assessment. For example, a learner may be able to explain a concept orally but have difficulty writing it down.

• In the Foundation Phase the inability to read should not prevent learners from demonstrating their mathematical competence.

Reporting learners’ performance

Reporting is the process of communicating learners’ performance to the learners themselves, and to parents and guardians, schools and other stakeholders. You can use report cards, parent meetings, school visitation days, parent-teacher conferences, phone calls, letters and other appropriate methods to make your reports.

Records of learner performance should provide evidence of the learner’s conceptual progression within a grade and her/his readiness to progress to the next grade.

2 Number names and symbolsLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• The learners work in pairs on a mat. • Ask the learners to compare numbers. For example, ask:

Which number is more than . . . ? Which number is less than . . . ? Which number is bigger than . . . ? Which number is smaller than . . . ? Which number is between . . . and . . . ? Which number comes before . . . ? Which number comes after . . . ? Let the learners identify the numbers on the number chart each time.

• The focus in this lesson is on larger numbers and their number names. Revise the concepts of more and less from Grade 1.

• Give each pair of learners an envelope with number symbol and number name cards in it. The numbers should be in groups of ten and range from 20–30, 30–40, 40–50, 50–60, 60–70, 70–80, 80–90 and 90–100.

• The pairs read the number symbols and the number names and match them. They must put the cards in sequence, and then write the number symbols and the number names in the correct order.

• The learners put the cards back into the envelopes and swap with another pair. They follow the same procedure with the second set of number symbols and name cards.

Give the learners practice in number symbols and number names by doing:Learner’s Book: Module 1, Activities 9–11 Workbook: Worksheets 4–5

• Learners will not be able to complete all these activities in one lesson. They can complete some tasks for homework or during group work in the next lesson. Discuss the instructions for each activity with the learners so that they understand what to do.

3 Comparing and orderingLearning experiences

• Set up four work areas beforehand.

Lesson focus

Work area 1• Prepare a set of greater than and less than symbol cards, a

set of number symbol cards and a set of number name cards for each work area.

• Place each group of cards face down in this order: number, symbol and number name.

• Learners take turns to choose a card from each group, read it aloud and state if it is true or false, for example: 145 < eighty is false.

Work area 2• Prepare a set of before and after cards, a set of number

symbol cards (with an order range of e.g. 320 to 340), a set of number name cards and sheets of paper with before, after and between written on them.

• Place the cards face down in their sets.• Learners take turns to choose a card from each group of

cards and place them in the correct column on the before, after and between sheets.

• Let the learners move the cards around until they have the correct answer.

Work area 3• Prepare a set of number cards and these instruction cards:

w Arrange from the biggest to the smallestw Arrange from the highest to the lowestw Arrange from the smallest to the biggestw Arrange from the lowest to the highest

• The group chooses one instruction card at a time and arranges the numbers accordingly.

• They repeat the activity for all the instruction cards.

Work area 4• Prepare a set of more and less cards (i.e. 10 more, 20 more,

50 more, 100 less, 40 less, 30 less), a set of number cards and sheets to write on.

• The learners choose a number card and a more and less card. They write their answers on the sheet provided.

• The group discusses the answer and then passes the sheet to the next learner.

• The learners continue until all the number cards have been done.

• Make four groups of four learners to work in the work areas.

4 FractionsLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Divide the learners into pairs and give each pair a slice of bread, fruit or a sheet of paper. Ask them to talk about how they could share the object so that each one has an equal piece. Give them time to discuss the problem and to decide what should be done and how.

• Make sure the learners understand that two halves are equal parts of a whole and should therefore be the same size. If one piece is bigger or smaller, it is not a half; it is just a piece.

• Let each pair cut their slice of bread, fruit or paper in half using a plastic knife. Point out that they now each have half a slice of bread. Ask them how many halves they have in total, and whether they are the same size. Ask learners: How many halves do you get from one whole?

• Then ask the learners how many halves they would get from five slices of bread. Encourage them to work out the solution with their partners.

• Give each learner an envelope with cut-out shapes (see photocopiable page 111 at the back of this book). They take out one shape and halve it by folding it in half. Show the learners how to fold and then unfold the shape. Ask them how many halves they see. They colour in one half of the shape. Write the fraction on the board.

• The learners take another shape and halve it by first folding it, and then drawing a line down the fold, and finally cutting the shape in half.

• Ask them how many halves they have, and how they know that each piece is a half. Encourage the learners to give their own explanations. Make sure they understand that both parts are equal. Let them colour one half of the shape blue and the other half yellow.

• Ask the learners how many halves they would get from two circles and from four circles. Learners who do not know the answer should work it out practically.

• Give the learners two sheets of paper. They fold one sheet in half, unfold it and draw a line down the fold. Ask them how many halves they have. They cut the sheet in half so that they have two halves.

• Ask the learners to fold the other sheet of paper in half as they did for the first. They then fold the half in half again. Let them unfold the paper and draw a line on the new fold. Ask them how many parts they see, and whether they are equal.

• Say that each part is called a quarter. Write the fraction on the board. Say that it means one equal part of four parts. Ask the learners to count the number of quarters they have. They write the fraction on each quarter. Then ask them to colour in a quarter red and two quarters green. Ask how

many quarters they have coloured in, and what fraction is not coloured in. Let them cut out their quarters.

• Ask how many quarters fit into a half, how many quarters fit into a whole, and how many halves fit into a whole. They do this practically using their cut-out halves, quarters and whole shapes.

• Divide the learners into pairs. Give each pair a set of counters. One learner in each pair takes four counters and gives half of them to a partner. Ask how many counters they each have. Point out that half of 4 is 2. They repeat the activity a number of times using different numbers of counters.

5 Place valueLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• The learners work in groups on a mat. Ask them to take ten sticks each. Explain that they are going to exchange their ten loose sticks for one whole ten. Show them how to tie an elastic band around the ten loose sticks to make one whole ten. Explain that they now have 1 ten. Show the number card 10 and point to the one (meaning one 10) and to the zero (meaning no or zero ones).

• The learners work in pairs. Ask how many tens each pair has. Explain that two tens are equal to 20, meaning two tens and zero ones. Show the number card 20.

• Let learners repeat the activity by having one learner join each pair until the group has nine tens. Put down the number card each time.

• Ask the learners to choose any number between 10 and 20. Encourage them to think carefully about how many tens and how many ones there are in the number they have chosen. Give them time to do this before asking individual learners to explain their numbers.

• Use the number cards to help the learners, for example, 15 is one ten and five ones, or 10 + 5. Show the number cards 10 and 5, and put the 5 over the 0.

• Ask the learners to choose any number between 10 and 99. They use the sticks and the number cards to explain and write out the number, for example:

6 Problem-solvingLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• The learners work in groups of four on a mat. Give each group a problem written on a card or a large sheet of paper. For example:

Nina has 15 cents. Anne gives her 9 cents more. How many cents does Nina have altogether?

Xoli has 50 cents. He buys an orange for 25 cents. How much money does he have left?

• The groups read their problem at least once (two or three learners in each group could take turns to read the problem aloud) and then discuss it. They need to interpret the problem and understand what it is about.

• Encourage each learner to draw a picture of their own interpretation and understanding of the problem.

• Group members then take turns to explain how they think the problem can be solved – that is, what operation they will use and how they will do the problem.

• Ask them to estimate the answer and to write it down.• Learners then work out the problem on paper using their

own methods. They describe how they reached their solutions. Group members check each other’s solutions to make sure they are correct.

• Encourage the learners to compare their answers to the estimated answer and talk about the different methods that were used by the learners in their group.

• Repeat the activity with more problems.• It is important for the learners to: (1) read the problem,

(2) draw a picture of their interpretation and understanding of the problem, (3) solve the problem using their methods, (4) explain how they came to their solutions, and (5) check their solutions to the problem, as well as the solutions of their peers. Expose learners to different kinds of problems.

• Do problem-solving activities daily to give the learners enough opportunity to develop their problem-solving and reasoning skills. Try to give the learners one word problem to solve each day. Introduce different types of problems gradually to prevent confusion and a dislike or fear of word problems.

• If the learners can’t read well or struggle to understand and interpret story sums, help them by integrating reading in the Mathematics lessons. Write out the word problem on a large sheet of newsprint and put it up in the classroom. Select specific vocabulary from the word problem (for example, altogether, each, same, share, sweets, marbles, bananas, names) and make flashcards. Teach these words to the learners. Put them up in the classroom for the learners to read at any time during the day. Use these same words to formulate more word problems, and slowly introduce new words.

• Encourage the learners to write their own word problems too. Let them look at pictures and talk about what they think is happening. Help them to write appropriate words to label items in pictures. Ask each learner to write a word problem based on a picture. They should use the labels to help them.

• Let the learners read their problems aloud to their groups. The learners work out the problems on paper, using their own methods. Ask them to describe to their groups how they reached their solutions. Group members should check each other’s solutions to make sure they are correct. If there is time, let the learners swap and solve each other’s word problems.

Lesson focus

Addition• Divide the learners into pairs and give each pair a set of the

cards you prepared for this lesson. Your cards should look like this:

15 + 8 23 Front Back

• Ask the learners to shuffle the cards. One learner in each pair then takes a card and shows it to the partner. The partner works out the answer in their head. If the partner answers correctly the card goes back into the deck, and if they answer incorrectly they keep the card.

• Learners take turns to show a card and work out the answer. At the end of the game each learner takes the cards they answered incorrectly and works out the correct answers using counters and objects. Ask them to draw and write out the problem.

• Divide learners into groups of four and give each group two or three dice. Ask them to take turns to throw the dice and add the numbers. The learner throwing the dice works out the answer in their head. The other three learners check to confirm if the answer is correct. If the answer is incorrect, another learner in the group can answer.

• You could use wooden blocks to make your own dice and write the numbers with a koki pen.

• The learners remain in groups of four. Give each learner five blank cards and ask them to write a one-digit number on each card. Then ask them to place all the cards face down in the middle of the group. The learners take turns to pick up any two cards. The learner who picks up the cards should add the two numbers in their head.

If the answer is correct they keep the cards and if incorrect another learner in the group can give the correct answer and keep the cards. At the end of the game the learner with the most cards wins.

• You could add another set of blank cards on which the learners write two-digit numbers. Combine both sets of cards, shuffle them, and then place them face down and start the game over.

• Give the learners plenty practice with adding small numbers before moving on to bigger numbers. It is difficult to count out concrete objects for bigger numbers, so allow the learners to work out the answer in the way they are

Subtraction• Prepare flashcards for the words take away, minus and

subtraction and for the subtraction sign (–) and the addition sign (+).

• Ensure that each learner has a few counters, for example, stones, buttons, matchsticks or bottle tops.

• Ask each learner to count 20 counters and place them in front of them in a straight line. They point to each counter and count aloud. Now ask the learners to count eight counters and to keep them in their hands. They then count the remaining counters on the desk. Ask the learners to check their partner’s counters. Ask learners to explain what they think was done with the counters? Explain that they had 20 counters on the table, they took eight away by keeping them in their hands and had 12 left on the desk. Now show the flashcards with the words subtraction, take away and minus one at a time, allowing the learners to read the words after you. Explain to the learners that they have now done a subtraction problem. Show the learners the flashcard with the subtraction sign. Explain that this is the sign we use for subtraction problems. Show the learners the flashcard with the addition sign on it and see if they can identify it. Place the two flashcards next to each other and ask the learners to explain the difference (for example, one is a cross and the other is a straight line).

• Draw the problem on the board and write the number sentence below it:

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

20 – 8 = 12 • Point to the number sentence and read it aloud. Remind

the learners what the equals sign (=) means. Ask learners to read the problem aloud. Do a few more examples with learners using their counters. Let learners check each other’s counters. Now draw and write each number sentence, and then ask the learners to read each part as you point to it.

• Ask learners to work in pairs. They combine their 20 counters and put them in a line in front of them. Ask them to point to each counter and count aloud. Ask the learners to construct a problem with their counters on the board.

eight learners to stand in front of the class in a straight line, shoulder to shoulder and facing the class. Point at them one at a time and ask the seated learners to count aloud the number of standing learners. Ask the standing learners to arrange themselves into four equal groups.

• Ask the seated learners to think of and discuss a solution among themselves, but not to help the standing learners. If they do not find the correct solution, ask the learners to repeat the original instruction. Give the seated learners an opportunity to give suggestions. Emphasise the four groups, so start with four learners in separate areas. Then ask the four remaining learners to hold the hand of one of the other four learners. Guide the learners to understand that we can only work with what we are given. That is why we started with four separate groups and then added to them in equal parts. Ask learners what the number was, how many groups there are and how many in each group.

of counters the first time. If they do, repeat the instruction and explain that each learner in the group must have the same number of counters (20). Give them time to regroup and recount their counters.

• Ask the learners to divide their 20 counters into five equal piles. Explain that each pile must have the same number of counters.

• Ask the learners how many counters they have in each pile (4).

• Explain that we can say: 20 divided by 5 equals 4. Then say: ‘We can write it like this: 20 ÷ 5 = 4.’

• Ask the learners to draw the 20 counters, then the five equal piles and then to write out the problem and the answer. Their sums may look like this:

20

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

142

43 ●●●●●●●●●● 4 4 4 4 4

20 ÷ 5 = 4

• The learners also need to be able to identify that 4 × 5 = 20.• The learners must understand that division is the opposite

of multiplication. • Ask the learners to take 20 counters and divide them

equally into four piles. Let them tell you how many counters in each pile. Let them say the problem and the answer.

• They now draw the whole, the equal parts and then write the problem with the answer.

• Say to the learners: ‘We can also write out the dividing problem like this:’

4 5 20

• Repeat the activity with more numbers to divide equally. Ask the learners to put out the counters, then to draw and write the problems with the answers.

• Encourage the learners to explain how they did their problems and got their answers.

• Give the learners division problems to work out in the same way. You could write the word problems on cards and give each group a card to solve, after which they can explain how they found their answer.

• Make sure the learners understand the process well before working with bigger numbers that need to be broken down.

8 Doubling and halvingLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Divide the learners into pairs and give each pair counters in a container. One learner in each pair takes out a few counters and says how many they have taken out. The second learner takes out the same number of counters.

• Point out that each pair of learners has two numbers that are exactly the same. Tell the learners that when we have two numbers that are exactly the same, we say the number is double. Write the word double on the board. Explain that double means two of the same number, or the same number times two. Ask the pairs to work out the total of their two numbers.

• The learners complete this word sentence for their number of counters: Double . . . is . . . .

• Each pair of learners now takes out 15 counters and then doubles the number of counters. Explain that double 15 is 30. This is the same as 15 + 15 = 30, or 15 × 2 = 30. The learners draw the number of counters they took out and write the word sentence (double 15 is 30) and the number sentences 15 + 15 = 30 and 15 × 2 = 30.

• The learners take more counters to double their number. They draw and write the new problem. They must be able to identify the pattern and recognise that doubling is adding the same number or multiplying it by 2.

• Learners can also practise doubling with dice. They take turns to throw the dice and double the number.

• While developing the concept of doubling, the learners need to practise halving. Halving is taking away the same number. For example, tell the learners to take out 10 counters, and then to halve the number. They should take away five counters. Ask them what half of 10 is. Let the learners draw a picture. Then show them how to write ‘half of 10 is 5’.

• The learners repeat the halving activity with numbers of their choice. They should be able to double a number and halve it.

Contents area/Module 2 Patterns, functions and algebraIn this module we have set out activities for you to choose from. The pattern activities provided in the Learner’s Book and Workbook are not meant to be done in isolation, but as a part of the Mathematics lessons.

Patterns provide a means for developing manipulation skills. They also teach learners how to investigate, sequence and analyse to help them make sense of a situation. Patterns enable the learners to see relationships and use mathematical language to communicate those relationships. Working with patterns also sets a basis for generalising, drawing conclusions and for problem-solving. These are all important processes in mathematics.

In this module you will be given step-by-step guidelines on how to teach the concepts covered in this module.

2 Geometric patternsLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Arrange beads or shapes into a specific pattern. Make sure all the learners can see the pattern.

• Give each learner a selection of beads or shapes similar to the ones you used. Ask them to copy your pattern by arranging their beads or shapes in the same way you did.

• Encourage them to talk about the pattern and to discuss the colours, the shapes, the objects, the sizes and the flow of the pattern. Ask them to describe how they arranged the pattern, in other words, the sequence.

• Let the learners draw the pattern on a sheet of paper and colour it in.

• Learners should always first copy patterns practically, using concrete objects.

• Arrange beads, shapes, blocks or matchsticks to start a pattern that has a specific sequence, but leave the pattern incomplete. Make sure all the learners can see the pattern.

• Work with the class as a whole. Encourage the learners to talk about the pattern’s sequence by asking questions like: What shape is first in the sequence? What shape comes next? What colour does the pattern begin with?

• Now ask a few learners to complete the pattern you started.• Encourage them to talk about and describe the pattern as

they are building.• Once they have built a few repetitions of your pattern, the

learners draw the completed pattern and colour it in.

Patterns all around us• The learners work in groups.• Take the learners outside and ask them to find a leaf or a

flower petal.• When the learners are back in the classroom, divide them

into groups of four.• Ask each learner to examine their leaf or petal carefully

and to take note of the pattern, shape, colour, size and the texture.

• Now ask the learners to show and describe their leaves and flower petals to their group.

• Each learner has a turn. • Explain that they will be making leaf patterns or flower

patterns. • Tell them to put their leaf/flower petal flat on a sheet of

paper and then to place another sheet of paper over it.• Show learners how to colour the top sheet of paper lightly

with a crayon until the pattern of the leaf/flower petal underneath starts showing through.

1 Describing positionLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Divide the learners into pairs and give each pair one or two objects. Ask one learner in each pair to place the object in a specific position. The other learner must describe the object’s position. Learners should take turns to place the object and to describe its position. For example, the shoe is on top of the desk, or the book is behind the cupboard.

• Now ask one learner in each pair to tell their partner to move to a specific position in the classroom. For example: Stand behind the door. Sit on the chair. Stand next to the cupboard. After following the instruction, the partner must describe their position. Learners should take turns to give and follow instructions.

3 Position and directionsLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Play the game Hide and seek.• Select one object which will be used as the hidden object.• Ask one learner to leave the classroom and wait outside the

door.• The rest of the class remains and sees where the object

will be hidden. Everyone should know the position of the object as they will be giving directions to the learner who is to find it.

• Call the learner to come inside.• Tell the learner to listen to the directions and to find the

hidden object.• The other learners have turns to give directions to help the

learner find the hidden object.• Once the hidden object is found, that learner describes the

position where the object was fouind.• Another option would be to blindfold the learner and then

to help him or her find the object with directions on where to move.

• When giving directions, the learners should use words such as left, right, turn right, turn left, walk straight ahead, opposite, backwards, forwards.

• Let the learners work in groups on a mat. Give each group different 3-D objects. Use the photocopiable sheets at the back of this book if you need to.

• Ask the learners to compare the objects and to sort them into sizes, for example, all the small objects into a set, all the big objects into a set. The groups will probably sort their objects differently.

• Then give each group an opportunity to describe to the class how they sorted their objects.

• Once they have all reported back, ask the learners to draw their sorted sets.

• Ask the groups to investigate which objects can roll and which objects can slide, and to sort them into two groups – objects that roll and objects that slide.

• Help the learners describe the objects by asking them questions like: Why do you think this object rolls? Why do you think this object can’t roll? Why do you think this object slides? Encourage them to give their opinions.

• Ask the learners to draw the objects that roll and the objects that slide.

• Give each group a few old magazines. Ask them to look at the pictures and to identify and discuss objects that roll and/or slide, as well as shapes and objects that have round and/or straight edges. Let them cut out the pictures to make a poster.

• Explain that the folded line is the line of symmetry. Encourage the learners to look at their designs and to talk about what is on the left of their symmetry line and what is on the right of their symmetry line.

• Now ask the learners to fold their sheet of paper into quarters and to cut shapes or patterns on the new folded line. Then let them unfold the sheet to see the new design they have made. They should see that the left and right sides are symmetrical, i.e. one side is a reflection of the other side.

• Give each learner a new sheet of paper. Ask them to fold the sheet in half, unfold it again and draw a shape on the left of the fold (symmetry line). Then let them draw the matching part on the right side of the symmetry line.

• Ask learners to look for symmetrical objects in the school yard or at home. They can then talk about these objects to a partner or someone at home.

2 CalendarsLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Divide the learners into pairs or small groups. Give each pair or group a current calendar. Ask them to point to the names of the months and to read them aloud.

• Draw the learners’ attention to the details on a calendar by asking questions about a specific month. For example: How many days are there in January? How many weeks are there in January? On what day does the 1st of January fall? What day is the 31st of January? Ask the questions one by one, and give the learners time to work out and discuss the answers with their partners.

• Now ask the learners if there are any special days in January. Explain that special days are days that the whole nation celebrates, such as public holidays; or days that people from particular cultures and religions celebrate, such as Jewish or Muslim religious holidays; or days that are special to individuals, such as birthdays and anniversaries.

• Let the learners find and discuss all the special days in the rest of the year. (Research all the special days so that you can explain them in more detail to the learners. For example, 16 June, Youth Day, commemorates the sacrifices made by the youth of South Africa.) These days will also be discussed in detail in the Life skills lessons at the appropriate time.

• Then let the learners ask their partners questions about the calendar. Learners should take turns to ask and answer questions. Move around the classroom while they are working, and encourage and assist where necessary.

• On another day, divide the learners into pairs and give each pair a current calendar.

• Ask questions about the calendar to draw the learners’ attention to the concept of time (days, weeks and months). For example: How many months are there from June to January? Turn to the month we are currently in. How many months from now to Christmas? School closes for the holidays on . . . ? How many weeks from now to the end of term? How many days to the weekend? Ask the questions one by one, and give the learners time to work out and discuss the answers with their partners.

• Then let the learners use their calendars to ask their partners questions about time. Learners should take turns to ask and answer questions.

3 Measuring timeLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Draw a large circle on the board. Point to the top of the circle and say top. Repeat with left, right and bottom.

• Now give the learners paper plates to make clock faces.• Point to the top of the circle you have drawn on the board.

Ask the learners to write the number 12 in the same place on their plates. After checking that they have written the number in the correct place, ask them to write a 6 at the bottom of the plate, opposite the 12. They then write a 3 on the right-hand side and a 9 on the left-hand side, opposite the 3.

• Explain that they are making the face of a clock without the hands. Ask them to fill in the remaining numbers. Move around checking and correcting the learners where necessary.

• Now give each learner a long strip of cardboard, a short strip of cardboard, and a thumbtack or pin. Show them how to pin the two cardboard strips to the centre of the paper plate clock.

• Before the learners practise telling the time, quickly revise the terms o’clock, quarter to, quarter past and half past.

• Then call out a time and ask the learners to move the hands on their paper clocks to the appropriate positions. Once they have done this, draw the hands in the correct positions on your clock on the board. Ask the learners to check if the hands of their clocks are in the correct positions.

• Learners need plenty practice in moving the hands of their clocks and telling the time.

• While the learners are completing this activity, take those who are struggling to a mat and reinforce the concepts.

4 Measuring mass Learning experiences

Lesson focus

• Display a few containers in the classroom. Ask questions such as: Do you see any numbers printed on the containers? What are these? What do the letters in each measurement stand for?

• Write the abbreviations and the full words for all the units of measurement on the board. For example, g = gram, kg = kilogram.

• Call out different masses one at a time.For example, 250 g and 5 kg. Ask the learners to check if they have containers with that measurement.

• Divide the learners into groups and give each group a variety of containers. Ask them to place their containers in ascending order from the smallest mass to the largest mass.

• Let the groups draw their containers and record the units of measurement.

• Show the learners how to use a bathroom scale, a kitchen scale and a balancing scale. Work with a small group of learners on a mat and show the learners these three different scales. Ask the learners to select the scale they would use to measure their mass. Allow the learners to explain their choices. Ask the learners to select something in the classroom that they would weigh using one of the other scales. Once again, allow them to explain their choices. Now give the group an opportunity to weigh different objects in the classroom, for example, the board duster. Show them how to read the measurement. Then ask them to measure the mass of a school bag.

5 Measuring capacityLearning experiences

Lesson focus

• Display a few containers in the classroom. Draw the learners’ attention to the measurements on the containers. Ask questions such as: What do these measurements show? What do the numbers indicate? What do the letters stand for?

• Write the abbreviations and the full words for the units of measurement on the board. For example: ml = millilitre.

• Divide the learners into groups of about eight and give each group a variety of containers. Ask them to arrange their containers in order, from the one that should hold the smallest quantity to the one that should hold the largest quantity.

• Take the groups outside and give each group a teaspoon, a cup, a 500-ml container, a 2-litre container and a container with water.

• Ask the learners to measure how many teaspoons of water will fill the cup, and how many 500-ml containers of water will fill the 2-litre container. Each group should choose one learner to record the results.

• Once the learners have completed the activity, ask them to give you feedback on their results, using spoons and cups as units of measurement.

6 Measuring lengthLearning experiences

Lesson focus

Handspans• Explain to the learners that in the old days there were no

rulers and tape measures, so people had to work out other ways to measure objects. Ask the learners to suggest ways in which we can measure without instruments.

• Show the learners how to measure using handspans. (A handspan is from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb when the hand is extended.)

• Now ask the learners to estimate the height of their desks in handspans. Once they have done this, let them measure the height in handspans and compare the difference between the estimate and the actual measurement.

• Divide the learners into pairs and let them practise measuring different objects in the classroom using handspans.

Give the learners practice in measuring with handspans by doing:Learner’s Book: Activity 18 Workbook: Worksheets 80–81

Foot lengths• Show the learners how to measure using their feet.

Demonstrate by placing one foot in front of the other, heel to toe, and counting as you take each step.

• Let the learners work with their partners to practise measuring using their feet. They could measure the length of the classroom or the distance from their desks to the classroom door.

• Introduce the learners to paces or steps as another informal form of measurement. Paces are the normal-sized steps people take when they walk. Demonstrate by pacing from one side of the classroom to the other, counting as you take each step.

• Let the learners practise outside by measuring the number of paces they take from the classroom to the school gate.

• The learners will probably get different answers when they measure in this way. Explain that handspans, feet and paces are not accurate forms of measurement. These measurements will differ from learner to learner, depending on hand-size, foot-size and the length of their steps.

Give the learners practice in measuring with foot lengths by doing:Learner’s Book: Module 4, Activities 17 and 19Workbook: Worksheet 82

Learning experiences

Do the activities one at a time over a few lessons. Discuss the content, questions and topics of the activities in groups or as a class. Ensure that the learners understand the information they are dealing with. Give them short, clear instructions before they start the activities.

We have described the Learning experiences under Concepts and skills.

1 Concepts and skills

Lesson focus

Sorting• The learners work in small groups on a mat. Give them a

variety of objects. Explain to the learners that the objects in front of them are mixed up. Ask the learners to sort the objects into groups that belong together. Explain that after they have finished sorting or grouping the objects, they can name the groups. Let the learners name the groups and explain why they chose a particular name.

Data• Explain to the learners that all the information they have in

front of them (the sorted groups) is called data. Tell them that data is another word for information. We collect data when we gather information. Tell the learners that we can collect data by asking questions, looking in books, magazines, newspapers and by looking around us. Explain to the learners that in the previous lessons they sorted their data into specific groups and named the groups according to specific characteristics.

Recording• Explain that we can write down or record data. Show the

learners how we can record data in different ways. We can use pictures, ticks, strokes, crosses, dots or colours to represent data. Show the learners that each symbol that we record represents one item, for example: we can write a 3 to represent 1 child.

Reading and interpreting data• Explain to the learners that it is important to read all the

data they have in front of them. When they look at data and read the information, they need to understand what it is and what it says. The data will inspire the learners to think of questions as they will want to know more about the data. They will ask ‘why?’ and ‘why not?’ questions. Learners must be able to read and interpret data so they can answer questions about the data or to make decisions about it. Choose one activity in the Learner’s Book to do as a class exercise so the learners can practise reading and interpreting data.
