<strong>Fundamentals</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>ECD</strong> : Mathematical LiteracyLearner’s ManualSO3:Devise processes <strong>for</strong> a general rule. (Processes <strong>in</strong>clude: systematic count<strong>in</strong>g,sequenc<strong>in</strong>g numbers, tables, draw<strong>in</strong>gs, pictures, classification, organized lists,mathematical and models such as graphs.)1. Appropriate processes are devised accord<strong>in</strong>g to the context.2. Processes have potential to lead to a general rule.3. A general rule is devised such that it is consistent with the relationship of theelements of the patterns.SO4:Represent patterns us<strong>in</strong>g different generalized mathematical <strong>for</strong>ms. (Graphs,<strong>for</strong>mulae, expressions and other rules <strong>for</strong> express<strong>in</strong>g patterns.)1. Appropriate mathematical <strong>for</strong>ms are used to represent patterns.2. The representation is consistent with relationships with<strong>in</strong> the pattern andrepresents the pattern completely.3. Conversions are made between various <strong>for</strong>ms of representations.4. Relationships between various possible <strong>for</strong>ms of representations aredescribed.SO5:Use general rules to generate patterns. (Processes <strong>in</strong>clude: systematic count<strong>in</strong>g,sequenc<strong>in</strong>g numbers, tables, draw<strong>in</strong>gs, pictures, classification, organized lists,mathematical models such as graphs.)1. Patterns generated are consistent with the general rule.2. Patterns are generated to the extent that they enable the rule to be devisedfrom the pattern.8.
