1. Preparation for homeschooling Before homeschooling is started a couple of things should be considered which can influence the quality of the learning programme.

Moving from a formal school system to a more informal homeschooling system can be quite a challenge for both learner and parent. The normal school routine should make way for the homeschooling routine, which means that every member of the family will have to adapt and change their schedules and routines.

In order to simplify the transition from one routine to another, the family can make use of unschooling. Unschooling is the process through which learners and parents go in order to prepare themselves for the new way of learning which will take place at home.

It is important that you as parent and facilitator use this time of unschooling to improve your skills, as the ability of the learner to perform and learn is directly influenced by the parent and facilitator’s conduct.

Table 1.1 and 1.2 provides you with a few points which can be considered in order to be a better parent and facilitator to the learner. Each parent should look at themselves critically and decide which aspects could be improved. No parent is perfect, but luckily parenting skills can be improved by attending classes presented at community centres and churches. Many books have been written on this subject and many articles are also available on the Internet.

Table 1.1 Focus points for the parent and facilitator • Value the learner’s individuality, but set boundaries where necessary.

• Trust in the learner’s abilities.

• Respect the learner’s interests, ideas, opinions and personality.

• Be loving and accept the learner as he/she is, but with the understanding that it is expected of him/her to behave in a socially acceptable manner at all times.

• Punish consistently.

• The learner should be aware that it is expected of him/her to be committed and loyal and to perform well, and that he/she will have the necessary support to do so.

Table 1.2 The following list was compiled by children …

• Treat us with respect.

• Be enthusiastic.

• Know the work that we have to learn.

• Be available when we need extra help.

• Make use of multimedia resources.

• Be friendly towards us.

• Talk to us about your own life.

• Use games to help us remember the work better.

• Do not discuss too much work with us at one time.

• Do not give us too many rules at once.

• Give us a chance to also teach a class.

2. Planning 2.1 The Impaq curriculum The Impaq curriculum includes all subjects as required by the Department of Education and is compiled in accordance with the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS).

Table 2.1.1 The Impaq curriculum for the Foundation Phase (Grade R – 3) consists of the following subjects: SUBJECTS GRADE R GRADE 1 GRADE 2 GRADE 3 Home Language

2.2 Planning Use the following steps and timetable to do your planning for the year.

2.2.1 Planning the year 1.

Start by opening the package and unpacking the books that you received from Impaq. Group the books according to the various subjects. In other words, you will have a pile of books for Languages, Additional Languages (not for Grade R), Mathematics and Life Skills.

2.

Make use of the Impaq inventory list to double check the books.

3.

If you have received all of the books you need, use the year calendar and timetable for the grade (see 7. Daily timetable) to plan your year.

4.

To ensure that the planning is complete, do the following: • Compare the facilitator’s guide, study guides, workbooks, reading books and learner support material for each subject.

• Make a list of the number of lessons for each term and compare the number of lessons with the daily and weekly timetable for the specific grade. Divide the lessons between the days on the calendar according to your own needs and schedule.

• To ensure that the planning for the year is complete, you must also include your own routine, the daily routine of the learner as well as any sports activities and holidays.

Tip: To ensure that you cover all the work, the year can be divided into four terms consisting of 10 weeks each, with the necessary holidays in between.

2.2.2 It is important to plan your time Learners in the Foundation Phase like to play; therefore it is important that you keep to the timetable that you have drawn up in your year plan. It is important for the following reasons: • It provides the learner with the necessary fixed routine.

• It can disrupt the learner’s routine when learning time is used for play.

Facilitator’s Guide G01 ~ Mathematics

2.2.3 Written lesson preparation To ensure that you understand the lesson, allow yourself sufficient time to prepare beforehand.

Make a list of all the learning support materials that you will need to present the lesson effectively.

The use of learning support material in the Foundation Phase is very important. When learners use their eyes, ears, nose, hands and other body parts while learning, they learn better. Therefore it is vital that you incorporate these materials into the lesson.

2.2.4 Creating a pleasant learning area As part of your planning for the year you must also create a learning area for the learner to use. It can be anywhere in the house; a bedroom, a corner of the kitchen or dining room, etc.

Use the following ideas to create a pleasant area: 1.

Choose an area that will be ideal for studying and learning. It does not have to be in the learner’s bedroom. You can choose any area that will meet the learner’s unique needs.

2.

Take down the paintings on the walls and replace it with learning material and educational posters, for example, posters with forms, the alphabet, numbers, etc.

3.

The learning area must be fitted with a table that will be big enough to use for writing, using a tablet, doing a project or doing art. There must also be enough space for books and stationary.

4.

Ensure that there are comfortable chairs for you and the learner.

5.

Create a special area (if the space is available) that can be used for reading, researching projects on a computer, playing educational games or painting. This space will also be valuable if you are homeschooling more than one learner. One learner can be kept busy there while the other learner’s lesson is being presented.

6.

Move a bookcase or cupboard into the learning area to keep books, learning materials and stationary in. If there is not enough space for the cupboard in the learning area, another room can be used. A bookcase or cupboard will help your to keep the learning area tidy and will contribute to the quality of the lesson.

Organising the bookcase or cupboard: 1.

Use part of the space in the cupboard for art supplies, such as paint brushes, paint, coloured paper, small boxes, glue and scissors.

2.

Use another part of the space for stationary, such as pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners and rulers.

3.

Use a section of the space for the learning material received from Impaq. It will be a good idea to organise the learning material per subject.

3. Assessment All assessment information can be found in the Grade 1 Assessment Portfolio Book.

4. The learner’s portfolio A portfolio is a file in which the facilitator keeps a compilation of the learner’s work in order to organise and file his/her attempts, progress, and achievements for future reference.

It is of the utmost importance to keep this portfolio up to date and safe, even after the school year has been completed. Remember that the portfolio is proof of the learner’s school career.

Facilitator’s Guide G01 ~ Mathematics

4.1 Content of the portfolio 1. Buy a file and coloured cardboard. Write the following information on the outside of the file: • Year • Learner’s name and surname • Grade 2. On the inside there should be a contents page containing the following information: Contents 1) Term 1 1.1) Assessment forms 1.2) Proof of work 1.3) Work the learner is proud of 2) Term 2 2.1) Assessment forms 2.2) Proof of work 2.3) Work the learner is proud of 3) Term 3 3.1) Assessment forms 3.2) Proof of work 3.3) Work the learner is proud of 4) Term 4 4.1) Assessment forms 4.2) Proof of work 4.3) Work the learner is proud of 5) Term reports from Impaq.

6) Non-curricular reports, certificates and other achievements.

7) General information: medical history and specialist reports (speech therapists, occupational therapists, hearing specialists).

8) Any other information or documentation that YOU feel should be included in the learner’s portfolio.

5. Reward your child According to research roughly 48% of parents in America reward their children with money for their achievements. It is the opinion of specialists that occasionally rewarding your child with money might motivate the child to do better, but it can also be problematic. If a learner is rewarded with money too many times it can lead to the learner losing his/her inner motivation and he/she will end up working for the money only.

Specialists say that if a learner is not naturally motivated to excel, it is better to reward him/her for that which he/she do achieve rather than punishing him/her for a lack of achievement. In other words, still reward the learner for an achievement of 50%, rather than punishing him/her.

You can reward the learner for good behaviour, good work or a good report, in one of the following ways. Rewarding the learner often will encourage him/her to work harder and will also build their self-confidence.

iv

Facilitator’s Guide G01 ~ Mathematics

• • • • • • • •

The best way to reward a learner is to show him/her how proud you are. Reward the learner with enthusiasm, “congratulations”, a high five, a kiss and a hug.

When possible, display the learner’s achievements in order to show them how proud you are.

The learner’s good work or reports can be displayed on the refrigerator for others to see.

Bake a cake to make the learner feel special. Write the learner’s name and achievement with icing on the cake.

As a reward the learner can be taken on a field trip. Take him/her to their favourite museum, to an amusement park or aquarium.

Reward the learner with a trip to the movies, or convert your living room into a movie theatre and rent DVDs which you can watch with them while eating popcorn.

Take the learner out for pizza.

As a reward, the learner can be allowed extra time to play computer games.

Take a trip to the book store and allow the learner to choose a book which you can read together.

For any queries, contact the education specialist at Impaq.

Facilitator guidelines The primary goal of Grade 1 and 2 is to develop number concept and to develop an awareness of shape and size. There are various ways to determine these concepts, and each will be set out in this guide. When these concepts are determined, then Mathematics can be built upon these concepts. It is learned by ‘talking about’, ‘play with’, numbers and shape.

The basic knowledge of solving mathematics problems are formed by counting numbers, addition, subtraction, grouping and dividing numbers. Learners must be exposed to various methods of calculations so they can decide for themselves which methods work best for them. If the learner can understand, explain and use a method, they must not be discouraged, and must not be forced

Facilitator’s Guide G01 ~ Mathematics

to use other methods. Therefore, do not discourage the learner to apply any method. They can, however be guided to use the most effective methods.

The learner must complete and master each question of each exercise in this book to benefit from the developed concept training. When there are referred to pages in the facilitator’s guide, it is pages from the Workbook.

It is important that the learner enjoys each activity, so they can develop a love for Mathematics.

NB! The facilitator must work through each activity before presenting it to the learner. Read through each activity until the end so both the learner and facilitator know what is expected of them in each activity.

Time management: About 7 hours per week must be spent on Mathematics. The proposal is to spend 1 hour, 30 minutes for 4 days, and 1 hour for 1 day on Mathematics. The activities in this facilitator’s guide is developed in line with the time management on Mathematics according to CAPS. Note that the learner cannot concentrate for more than 1 hours, 30 minutes. Therefore ensure that the learner receives enough opportunities throughout the lesson to take regular breaks.

Assessment (2 per term): For Grade 2, an ongoing informal assessment takes place. It means that the facilitator can observe and assess the learner without exposing the learner to tests.

Extra exercises: Extra written exercises are added to certain lessons that can be used for exercising or for learners who is a bit more advanced.

The subjects for each term are discussed in the order as prescribed in the CAPS document.

2. Stand up straight with your legs a shoulder width apart. Put your one hand on the part between your shoulder and your neck and gently squeeze the muscles; turn your head towards your hand (as if you look over your shoulder). Take a deep breath while doing this exercise. Repeat this a few times to the 1 side and try to turning your head even more backwards. Repeat the same exercise by putting your other hand on your other shoulder.

3.

Stand behind a chair and look at the wall. Put your hands on the chair or against the wall. Put your one leg back and step down with your heel so your calf muscle stretches. Your leg that is now in front is bent and your body leans forward while your heel is pressed to the floor.

Repeat this with your other leg.

4.

Gently tilt your head forwards and backwards; roll your head to and fro. Do not push your head too far backwards, but take it easy and calmly.
