Answer to Question #343751 in English for Nolo

Question

The steppers class went to the playground for outdoor play time. The teacher took all 20 learners to the playground. She had a basket with toys. Inside the basket were 5 balls, 10 skipping ropes, 5 medium tins and 20 building blocks. The children enjoyed playing outdoor games in groups of 5. They had to pick up 5 different sizes of building blocks, put them inside the tin, run with it, jump over all 10 skipping ropes on the ground and put one block next to each group member. They then had to go back to the starting point by jumping and counting backwards, taking one ball and throwing it to each group member 3 times. The children each rotated the activity in each group.

1. Identify the mathematical concepts that can be developed from the playground activities.

2. How will you interpret the mathematical concepts from the case study in order to contribute towards logical thinking in emergent mathematics.
