alleryWhich is a core problem of school mathematics?
AToo little formula drill
BToo much open-ended play
CFear and failure among children
DToo many trained teachers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Fear and failure among children
1. The position paper groups its worries into four core problems, and the first is fear and failure among a majority of children.
2. Open-ended play and heavy training are not complaints it makes; it actually asks for more such richness and support.
3. Memorisation is the issue it criticises, not something lacking.
