Students will develop their own concepts of mathematics. Which method does this example follow ? Correct Answer Constructivist method

Developing the ability of mathematisation includes developing such abilities as problem solving, use of heuristics, estimation and approximation, optimisation, use of patterns, visualization, representation, reasoning and proof, making connections, mathematical communication including developing aesthetic feeling.

Key Points

Constructivism represents a view that emphasizes the active role of the learner in building, understanding and making sense of information. Constructivism represents an approach embedded with the central principle that learner can only make sense of new situations in terms of their existing understanding. The term constructivism more often emphasize “ the learner's contribution to the meaning and learning through both individual and social activity,”

  • Maths requires constructivist approach which includes developing such abilities as problem solving, use of heuristics, estimation and approximation, optimisation, use of patterns, visualization, representation, reasoning and proof, making connections, mathematical communication including developing aesthetic feeling. 
  • The higher aim is to develop the child’s resources to think and reason mathematically, to pursue assumptions to their logical conclusion and to handle abstraction.
  • Student need constructivist method to think logically and to develop own concepts and problem solving attitude. It includes a way of doing things, and the ability and the attitude to formulate and solve problems.

Thus, it can be concluded that students will develop their own concepts of mathematics and use constructivist approach.

National Curriculum Framework, 2005 recommends that teaching-learning of mathematics in primary classes needs to follow an integrated approach which implies that (a) mathematics needs to be integrated with problem-solving. (b) mathematics needs to be integrated with a child's experiences inside and outside the classroom. (c) mathematics needs to be integrated with other subjects like Environmental Science and Language. (d) mathematics need not be integrated with higher mathematics.
Each question below is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer. What is the average weight of new students added? I.
