6. demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation;

7. reflect on and explore a variety of strategies to learn more effectively;

8. participate as responsible citizens in the life of local, national, and global communities;

9. be culturally and aesthetically sensitive across a range of social contexts;

10. explore education and career opportunities; and

Integration of Themes:

  • Inclusively: We can all learn from one another. Each person’s culture can stimulate and enrich another’s. Show how this can be done.
  • Human rights: Learners must respect the differences amongst themselves. Decide how they are different, yet as worthy as their fellow classmates.
  • A healthy environment: Flowers enhance our environment. Nature them. Healthy foods give us healthy bodies. Discuss healthy, nourishing foods and list them. Do a survey to find out whether your classmates eat healthy foods.
  • Number concept and counting to and beyond 200 are practised.
  • Even and uneven numbers, rounding off numbers and place values are revised.
  • The table of 4 and 3 and sharing activities are included in this module.
  • Addition with renaming is practised.
  • Doubling with renaming.
  • Bonds of 19.
  • The following activities have also been included: mass, capacity, fractions and distance.
  • Learners are introduced to the objects: pyramids, prisms and cylinders.
  • The faces of these 3-D shapes are discussed and compared.
