In this Grade 1 lesson plan, the focus will be on the mathematical content area of Space and Shape. According to the Curriculum and Assessment
Policy Statement (2011: 10), this content area should focus on developing and consolidating learners' understanding of 2-dimensional shapes
and 3-dimensional objects as well as describing the position of objects and following directions. Unfortunately, this content area is not allocated
a significant amount of time in Grade 1 although many of the concepts can be difficult for young learners to grasp. It is therefore essential for the
teacher to structure the learning environment in a way that supports incidental learning and allows learners to explore these complex concepts
independently (Naudé & Meier, 2018: 58). The mathematics curriculum should be integrated into the different subjects/learning areas throughout
the day and should involve fun, engaging teacher-guided and learner-centred activities. This way teachers can maximise the limited time available
for content areas such as Space and Shapes (DBE, 2011: 38). The wonderful thing about Space and Shapes is that it is all around us and in
everything we see and do. It is in our bodies, nature, and concrete objects such as cars, buildings, and houses, etc. Learning to become aware
of this means that we will gain a deeper understanding of our world and navigate life in a more meaningful way.
