Which of the following is an example of teaching arithmetic using heuristics method according to National Curriculum Framework (2005)?

Option 2 : Rounding off numbers to the nearest multiples of ten in order to add, subtract or multiply etc.

The word "heuristic" comes from the Greek word "heurisco" which means to find out or to discover. This method refers to determining the best solution to the problem rapidly, efficiently, and effectively.

• It is a problem-solving method that motivates students to learn through investigation and research.
• It aids in the acquisition of knowledge through self-study, self-learning, research, and exploration.
• It is also known as the troubleshooting method as it helps the students in solving their problems on their own by self-exploration.
• For example- rounding off numbers to the nearest multiples of tense in order to add, subtract or multiply, etc. As it allows children to discover answers.

Hence, we conclude that rounding off numbers to the nearest multiples of tens in order to add, subtract or multiply, etc. is an example of teaching arithmetic using the heuristic method.

Memorization is not an effective strategy for learning as it does not allow a deeper understanding of the concept.
