Question: Question 5 An object is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides. A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line can be drawn on it, showing that both sides are the same. In emergent mathematics, we mainly concentrate on the line of symmetry. A line of symmetry divides a figure into two mirror-image halves. When teaching the of concept symmetry to learners, plan an activity you will use to help learners who have difficulties understanding the concept. Please include your OWN drawings/illustrations. (6) Question 6 Time is naturally more challenging for children to understand than other forms of measurement. This is because time cannot be seen or touched like the other concepts. 6.1 With the above statement in mind, discuss the importance of the Daily Programme in the Grade R classroom. (2) 6.2 Suppose you are Mr Sibanyoni, a Grade R educator. You have a class of 20 learners and their names are: Peter, Sipho, Muhamad, Rose, Zanele, Ashiv, Vuyo, Mika, Zola, Siphiwe, Emma, Tebogo, Jan, Zara, Khanyi, Thomas, Schalk, Ayesha, Lerato and Tyrone. 6.2.1 Design a birthday chart in which you record each child's birthday (date) in the months of the chart. (3) 6.2.2 Draw a picture relevant to birthdays in each of the months (be creative, do not copy the cupcakes from the study guide). (3) (8)
Certainly! Here are the answers for your assignment: --- **Question 5** **Activity to Teach Symmetry with Drawings/Illustrations (6 marks)** **Activity:** **Mirror Drawing with Folded Paper and Paint** **Instructions:** 1. Give each learner a blank A4 piece of paper. 2. Ask them to fold the paper in half. 3. On one half, let learners use fingers or brushes to paint/draw a simple shape or pattern (e.g., a heart, butterfly half, or star half). 4. Before the paint dries, fold the paper back so the painted side presses against the other blank half. 5. Open the paper—the pattern/image appears symmetrically on both sides. **Illustration** (Kindly re-draw these simple shapes for your submission.) **Step 1:** Draw a half-heart on the left side of the folded line. ``` |\ | \ | \ | > | / | / |/ (Fold line) ``` **Step 2:** After folding and pressing: ``` /\ / \ | | | | \ / \/ (Line of symmetry down the middle) ``` Label the vertical middle line as **"Line of Symmetry"**. **Further Suggestions:** - Use cut-out shapes (e.g., butterflies) and fold to show symmetry. - Provide mirrors for learners to place along drawn lines to see reflections. --- **Question 6** **6.1 Importance of the Daily Programme in Grade R (2 marks)** A daily programme helps children understand and experience the concept of time. It establishes routine and predictability, shows the sequence of events, and links time concepts (morning, afternoon, before, after). This structured environment supports children in developing an awareness of time, making it less abstract. --- **6.2.1 Birthday Chart with Learners’ Names (3 marks)** **BIRTHDAY CHART** *(Arrange as a table or wheel, one section for each month)* | Month | Learners' Birthdays | |------------|----------------------------| | January | Peter, Muhamad | | February | Sipho, Rose | | March | Zanele, Ashiv | | April | Vuyo, Mika | | May | Zola, Siphiwe | | June | Emma, Tebogo | | July | Jan, Zara | | August | Khanyi, Thomas | | September | Schalk, Ayesha | | October | Lerato | | November | Tyrone | | December | (You may assign remaining learners or leave blank if not specified) | *You can assign birthdays as you wish if actual dates are not provided.* --- **6.2.2 Birthday Chart Pictures (3 marks)** For each month, draw a creative, **birthday-themed illustration** different from cupcakes. *(Provide your own hand-drawn versions. Here are example ideas:)* - **January:** Draw a party hat with colourful streamers. - **February:** Draw a bunch of balloons tied with a ribbon. - **March:** Draw a wrapped present with a bow. - **April:** Draw a sparkling candle. - **May:** Draw a birthday banner with stars. - **June:** Draw a teddy bear with a birthday sash. - **July:** Draw a clown holding a sign saying "Happy Birthday". - **August:** Draw a slice of cake with a cherry on top. - **September:** Draw a smiling sun wearing sunglasses. - **October:** Draw a confetti popper. - **November:** Draw a party horn blower. - **December:** Draw a Christmas hat on a smiling face. *Remember, use your own creativity for the drawings!* --- **Summary Table for Marks:** | Section | Max Marks | |-------------------|-----------| | Q5 – Activity | 6 | | Q6.1 – Discussion | 2 | | Q6.2.1 – Chart | 3 | | Q6.2.2 – Pics | 3 | | **Total** | 14 | --- **Tip:** For your submission, please hand-draw the illustrations and make the chart colourful. Good luck!
