Read the following statements and identify whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite it and correct the part that is untrue. 4.1.1 The highest level and most abstract of Bruner's theory of intellectual development is the iconic stage. 4.1.2 Level 3 of counting includes breaking down and building up numbers. 4.1.3 Classification is the ability to match a written number with a counter. 4.1.4 To guess the number of steps from the carpet to the desk is an example of teaching rote counting. 4.1.5 According to the CAPS, in Term 3 learners learn to recognise numbers 5,6 and 7.

Let's analyze each statement: 4.1.1 The highest level and most abstract of Bruner's theory of intellectual development is the iconic stage. - False. The highest level and most abstract of Bruner's theory of intellectual development is the symbolic stage, not the iconic stage. The iconic stage is the first stage in his theory, where children learn through concrete, sensory experiences. 4.1.2 Level 3 of counting includes breaking down and building up numbers. - True. Level 3 of counting, according to the Concrete Operational stage in Piaget's theory, involves understanding the concept of conservation and being able to break down and build up numbers. 4.1.3 Classification is the ability to match a written number with a counter. - False. Classification is the ability to group objects based on shared characteristics. The ability to match a written number with a counter is an example of one-to-one correspondence. Rewritten: Classification is the ability to group objects based on shared characteristics. 4.1.4 To guess the number of steps from the carpet to the desk is an example of teaching rote counting. - False. To guess the number of steps from the carpet to the desk is an example of estimation, not rote counting. Rote counting involves memorizing and reciting numbers in order without understanding their meaning. Rewritten: To recite the numbers in order from 1 to 10 without understanding their meaning is an example of teaching rote counting. 4.1.5 According to the CAPS, in Term 3 learners learn to recognise numbers 5,6 and 7. - True. According to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), in Grade R (the first grade in South Africa), learners are expected to recognize numbers 5, 6, and 7 by the end of Term 3.
