  2. The maximum length of assignment 02 is six pages (1 200 words). Technical requirements • Allocation of marks 25% of the marks of Assignment 02 are allocated for the technical presentation. These marks are calculated as follows: • 5% table of contents and bibliography • 5% systematic arrangement of content • 5% correct reference techniques • 5% language excellence and editing • 5% creativity • 75% content of assignment

  3. Technical presentation a) Table of contents • Start your assignment with a table of contents giving the most important headings. • Each heading and subsection should be numbered. Also indicate the pages on which the headings are.

  4. Example: 1. Introduction……………………………………………….….…….…………1 2. The value of play with building blocks………………….…………2 2.1 Better grasp of reality…………………………………….……….…… 3 2.2 Mathematical concepts are formed………………………………4 2.3 Quantity ……………………………………………………….……………. 5 2.4 Area and volume ……………………………….…………………………6 2.5 Geometrical shapes ……………………………………….……………..7 2.6 Satisfies individual needs …………………….………….……………8 3. Conclusion ……………………………….………………..…………………..9 4. Bibliography …………………………….…………….…..…………………10

  5. b) Headings • Use headings and subheadings to organise your assignment. • The headings in your table of contents should correspond exactly to the headings • in your assignment. The headings in your assignment should be underlined. • c) Reference technique • NOTE: You are not permitted to copy from any published work, or any portion of a published work (giving the impression that it is your own work) without giving the necessary source references. • THIS IS KNOWN AS PLAGIARISM AND IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

  6. References to sources given in your bibliography should appear in the assignment. • You are permitted to use short direct quotations, or to restate the author's point of view in your own words. In either case, whether you quote or whether you use your own words, you must refer to the source. • The technique we recommend is known as the Harvard method. • The Harvard method means that the reference in your answer consists of • 􀂃 an author (followed by a,) • 􀂃 a date (followed by a :) • 􀂃 a page reference (placed in brackets) • For example: Davin (2005:156) states that … (author, date: page). The reference usually appears directly before or after the relevant sentence or quotation. References should be judiciously used, they should be relevant and they should support your argument.

  7. Reference List • At the end of each assignment you must supply a “reference list” containing the particulars of the sources you consulted when compiling your assignment. • You need to draw up a bibliography by arranging the names of the authors in alphabetical order. • The following data should be given: Author, initials, date of publication, title of source (underlined), place of publication: publisher.

A very angry parent confronts you, demanding answers to questions such as: • “What is this free play in the daily programme?
