Which of the following statements is/are true regarding mathematical skills and competencies used by street vendors and shopkeepers? A) They are not useful to solve mathematical problem in class B) They are ambiguous and illogical C) They help in developing alternate strategies in solving mathematical problems Correct Answer Only C

A street vendor is a person who sells something in the street. There's a big difference between street mathematics and classroom mathematics. Using these techniques will help children develop a better understanding of concepts.

 Key Points

  • Street vendors or shopkeepers acquire their invented algorithms when applying their computational skills, which are very correct to solve problems related to their daily life activities.
  • The mathematics skills used by shopkeepers should be discussed by the teacher in the classrooms as an alternate strategy in solving related problems. So that children can carry out activities to solve problems in a way that reflects the nature of such tasks in the real world.

Hence, we conclude that the statement that is true regarding mathematics skills used by street vendors and shopkeepers is that they help in developing alternate strategies in solving mathematical problems.
