Worked practice questions

Euclidean geometry is taught as a model of what kind of thinking?

  1. Memorised drills
  2. Pure guesswork
  3. Deductive reasoning
  4. Mental arithmetic
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Deductive reasoning

1. Euclidean geometry builds results from axioms. 2. So it serves as an axiomatic system and a model of deductive reasoning. 3. Guesswork, drill and mental sums do not describe this aim. _Source: Wikipedia, Mathematics education, Objectives_

Teaching heuristics aims to help students solve which problems?

  1. Only memory tests
  2. Only routine sums
  3. Only copied drills
  4. Non-routine problems
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Non-routine problems

1. Heuristics are general problem-solving strategies. 2. They are taught to solve non-routine problems. 3. Routine sums and drills need no such strategies. _Source: Wikipedia, Mathematics education, Objectives_
