| PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
| This Unit Standard is for those who facilitate Numeracy Programmes in the Reception Year (Grade-R).
People credited with this Unit Standard are capable of: |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| UNIT STANDARD RANGE |
| This Unit Standard is designed primarily for educators working with children aged 4½-6 years in the Reception Year (Grade R). Practitioners are required to demonstrate applied competence in a Grade R programme in one of the following developmental phases and settings:
Learners are expected to use a wide range of activities and resources that promote emergent numeracy such as: story telling, compiling own numeracy story books, listening comprehensions, labelling, counting rhymes, rhythms, patterns, word play, pictures, displays, formal and informal discussions, weather charts, birthday charts, helper charts, number and letter posters, games activity centres, dramatised role plays, drawing, problem solving, data gathering, etc. Although the emergent numeracy approach is not intended to be privileged through this Unit Standard, it is expected that learners will be able to work with each child according to their own levels of development and within different socio-cultural contexts. |
| Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: |
| SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 |
| Describe how numeracy is developed, facilitated and assessed. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
| ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
