CTET MATHEMATICS QUIZ 82

Question 1:

The National Curriculmn Framework 2005 Position paper on Teaching Mathematics states, “Crude methods of assessment encourage perception of mathematics as mechanical computation”. Which of the following most appropriately explains the meaning of the given statement?

The nature of assessment in mathematics has led to mathematics being referred to as comprising of only procedures and computational skills required to solve a problem.

Only formative assessment methods should be a part of assessment in mathematics.

Computational skills are important part of mathematics education hence should be taught through activities using concrete material.

Computational skills in mathematics are not required at primary level hence should be focused upon in higher classes.
