Introduction
This is a Mathematics course for ECD A (Ages 3–4). A young child learns with play, songs, pictures and kind talk. An adult should sit nearby, praise effort, and stop before the child is tired. We follow Zimbabwe’s Heritage-Based Curriculum: Ubuntu/Unhu, home language, and real life first.
What you will learn
You will grow in Mathematics through these units: Number; Operations; Measures; Relationships. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.
How we learn
We learn in tiny steps. We look, we say, we do, we praise. If the child looks away, we pause. Short, happy lessons beat long, hard ones.
What you need
Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Counters such as bottle tops, stones or beans. A ruler if you have one.
