Guest Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Its me again stuck on another question could do with some advice Explain how intellectual development is linked to the acquisition of mathematical and scientific concepts to solve practical promblems THANKS
Beau Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Concepts such as weight, floating and sinking, sequencing time etc are learnt through play, experimenting and generally just chatting!! As adults we can provide activities, ask and answer questions and direct the children in their investigations. This will involve them using all their senses, concentrating, imitating and then understanding. Obviously they won't be able to do these things until they are developed enough intellectually. Clear as mud?? Thought so!!
Guest TEEJ Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Hi, Still not getting this question, late night typed loads of sheets, can somebody explain in child format and apologies as new to this website and format. thanks Teej
Beau Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Intellectual development: - Thinking and reasoning Knowledge and understanding Memory Problem solving Using five senses By offering children lots of different experiences and encouraging them to exlore and ask questions they can use their 'intellectual' development to understand mathematical and scientific concepts. So, for example, how does a child know that water freezes and ice melts when it get's warm? Link it to the things I have talked about above.
