While solving a problem on addition, ‘234 + 42’, a student said aloud: “If it were 40 then it would be 244, 254, 264, 274 but its 42, so it will be 274 + 2 = 276", therefore 234 + 42 is 276. Which one of the following statements is correct for the strategy used by the student?

Which one of the following statements is correct for the strategy used by the student? Correct Answer <span style="">Use of Informal strategies in mathematics help a teacher to know the process of child's understanding of a concept</span>

Mental maths- It is a set of cognitive methods that improve number sense and flexibility of thought. It is the act of mentally calculating without the use of external memory aids. It boosts computational fluency by increasing efficiency, precision, and adaptability.

Key Points

  •  Benefits of oral computation in the classroom-
    • By this process math is done in the mind quickly and efficiently and also helps in doing math instantly without the effort put into operations and processes. Using these strategies will help the teacher to know the children's process of understanding concepts.
    • Mental computation and mathematical reasoning have a significant positive link. It's worth noting that rather than exposing children to typical classic problems, they should be able to cope with exceptional routine problems, and young children, in particular, should be encouraged to use oral computation to acquire these skills.

Hence, we conclude that using these strategies will help the teacher to know the process of a child's understanding of a concept.

It is already discussed above that using oral strategies should be encouraged in the class as these indicate the student's conceptual knowledge and also help the teacher in managing the classroom hence other options are wrong.

Mr.Rohan while helping the students of Class IV in adding and subtracting fractions observed that several students are not able to complete the addition of two improper fractions. He gave a small test with questions from the addition of proper fractions (one item of addition of two similar fractions, three items from the addition of proper and improper fractions, and four items from the addition of improper fractions). He analyzed the responses of each student and found that nearly 45% of students were not clear in adding proper with improper fractions which were affecting their performance in adding two improper fractions. He, therefore, focused on developing the understanding of improper fractions and their addition with proper fractions after which he proceeded to teach the addition of two improper fractions. Which kind of assessment is depicted by this situation?

When posed with a problem on subtraction, '400 - 45', a student responded. “If it were 40, then the answer would be 60, but its 45 so its 55, 155, 255, 355, therefore, 400 - 45 is 355.” Which one of the following statements is correct for the strategy used by the student?
In a class text, to the question, find out 23% of 200, two students answered in following ways:  Student A: 23% of 200 = 23% of (100 + 100) = 23 + 23 = (20 + 20) + (3 + 3) = 46  Student B: 23% of 200 = 200 × \(\frac{23}{100}\) = 2 × 23 = 46 Which of the following statements is the most appropriate in the given context? 1. Since student B has used the standard algorithm, teacher gives full marks to student B and zero to student A 2. Teacher gives full marks to both the students as they have attempted the question using their own algorithms. Both formal and informal algorithms are integral to solving problems in mathematics. 3. Teacher gives zero marks to student A and directs him to redo the question using the algorithm taught in the Class 4. Teacher accepts both the responses but directed student A to refrain from using informal algorithm
