Worked practice questions

Which area is often taught as a model of deductive reasoning?

  1. Mental arithmetic
  2. Applied statistics
  3. Euclidean geometry
  4. Unit measurement
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Euclidean geometry

1. Euclidean geometry is taught as an axiomatic system. 2. It shows how theorems follow from axioms. 3. The other areas are not the usual models of deduction. _Source: Wikipedia, "Mathematics_education" (rev ?), section "Objectives"_

Heuristics are taught mainly to solve:

  1. Routine exercises
  2. Non-routine tasks
  3. Rote-drill tasks
  4. Spelling tasks
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Non-routine tasks

1. Heuristics are problem-solving strategies. 2. They are meant for non-routine problems. 3. Routine sums can be done by a fixed procedure. _Source: Wikipedia, "Mathematics_education" (rev ?), section "Objectives"_

Using class topics to solve everyday problems is the:

  1. Rote approach
  2. Relational approach
  3. Classical approach
  4. Mastery approach
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Relational approach

1. The relational approach links topics to everyday problems. 2. It shows students why they need to know the topic. 3. Rote and classical approaches do not stress real-world use. _Source: Wikipedia, "Mathematics_education" (rev ?), section "Methods"_
