I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

Teachers use questions that evoke thinking and inquiry, so that the learners are able to discover and experience for themselves.

Metro South Training, Western Cape Education Department, 2015

The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
