Question

In which method of teaching mathematics, proof starts from the conclusion?
1. Analysis
2. Synthesis
3. Inductive
4. Deductive

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Analysis

The teaching of mathematics should be done in simple to complex ways so that the students at the beginning of learning mathematics could easily understand the basic fundamental concepts such as division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction.

• The teaching of mathematics should be done in a pre-defined order that is psychologically organized as per the needs of the students.

• The teaching methods to teach mathematics should be according to the content, needs of students, and the availability of resources.

Analytic method: 

• In this method, the teacher usually separates the things that are together to start from what is required and then traces the connection between it and the given data.
• In this method of teaching mathematics, proof starts from the conclusion.
• This method helps to analyze the difficult parts of the given problem to find out its solution. It is based upon the heuristic approach and inductive reasoning.

Hence, we conclude that the above statement is about the analytic method.
