1.1 Emergent Mathematics:
Emergent mathematics refers to the development of mathematical concepts and ideas that
naturally emerge as a child interacts with their environment, engages in play, and explores
mathematical relationships informally. It emphasizes learning through discovery and practical
experiences rather than formal instruction.
Examples:
Counting objects like toys while playing.
Recognizing shapes in everyday objects, such as identifying circles in coins.
Baking cookies with a parent and dividing the dough into equal portions, introducing
the concept of fractions.
Noticing and discussing patterns in the petals of flowers, such as counting the number
of petals on different types of flowers.
1.2 Number Sense:
Number sense is a fundamental understanding of numbers and their properties. It involves
the ability to make reasonable estimates, compare quantities, and manipulate numbers
mentally. It forms the basis for more advanced mathematical concepts.
Examples:
Estimating the number of candies in a jar without counting them.
Comparing the size of two piles of blocks to determine which has more.
Estimating the cost of items in a shopping cart to stay within a budget.
Recognizing that there are more apples in one basket than in another without
counting them, based on a quick visual assessment.
1.3 Patterns:
Patterns in mathematics involve the repetition of a sequence of elements, numbers, or
shapes in a predictable way. Recognizing and understanding patterns is a foundational
mathematical skill.
Examples:
Recognizing a repeating pattern in a sequence of coloured beads (red, blue, red,
blue).
Identifying the alternating pattern in a series of even and odd numbers (2, 3, 4, 5).
Observing a pattern in a weather chart that shows a temperature increase each day,
reinforcing the concept of a trend.
Recognizing the pattern of alternating red and black squares on a checkerboard.
