Option 3 : The teacher should ask the students to explain the process of arriving at the answer and plan remedial strategy accordingly.

Misconception refers to the gap in children's knowledge. If they are not addressed properly can build over time.

How to fix math misconceptions- Math misconceptions are important to address, since they can prevent students from learning and excelling in academics.

Identifying misconceptions- The teacher should spot and identify a child's misconception about a concept.
Investigation- The teacher should facilitate a dialogue regarding the error, concentrating on getting the student to explain their process of arriving at the answer, for example, by asking "how did you come up with that answer"? This clarifies if the error was a simple mistake or a misconception.
Addressing the misconception- now teacher will fill the knowledge gap and provide students with the exact method to solve the problem by using a remedial teaching strategy.

Hence, we conclude that the teacher should ask the student to explain the process of arriving at the answer and plan remedial strategy accordingly.

Hint

Providing questions for drills and practice will not help in addressing and filling the learning gap.
Solving problem on the blackboard promotes memorization and will not help children to develop problem-solving skills.
