Which of the following statement is correct about Mathematical thinking? I. Mathematical thinking consists of solving problem and posing problems. II. Mathematical thinking requires the skills of precise thinking and logical reasoning. Correct Answer Both I and II

Learning mathematics serves both as a means and an end. It is a means to develop logical and quantitative thinking abilities. At the early grades, children’s learning of mathematics should be a natural outgrowth from children themselves.

Some basic ways related to the learning of mathematics during the early stages of school learning are manipulation of objects, performing meaningful tasks in real-life situations, representation in multiple ways, evolving and using alternative strategies and problem-solving, and problem posing. 

Let us now discuss in detail regarding the nature of mathematics:

  • Mathematics is logical.
  • Mathematics is symbolic.
  • Mathematics is precise.
  • Mathematics is the study of structures.
  • Mathematics aims at abstraction.

Hence, we conclude that all the statements are true about Mathematical thinking.
