42 COUNTING IN THE FOUNDATION PHASE Valerie Ramsingh Gauteng Department of Education MOTIVATION FOR RUNNING WORKSHOP We are still finding a large number of learners who continue to draw separate tallies/sticks when they count, even for large numbers. As learners progress through the FOUNDATION PHASE they are expected to move from concrete to the more abstract methods of COUNTING which result in arriving at the solution to a problem more quickly and accurately. Good COUNTING strategies produce a better understanding of how numbers and the number system works and reinforces the foundations for many Mathematics concepts as opposed to uttering numbers in a repetitive, meaningless, sing-song fashion.
