Correct Answer - Option 3 : from general to specific
Experimental method:- Experiment method is the method in which we use various experiments to reach a conclusion. The experimental method is usually taken to be the most scientific of all methods, the 'method of choice' The experimental method is a means of trying to overcome the problem.
Importance of experiment method:-
- This method improves student hand skills.
- It makes them more productive and increases their active involvement in learning.
- Students can create a relationship between theory and practice by experiment method.
Geometry is a vital branch of the mathematics curriculum. In upper classes, students study geometry with informal knowledge about points, lines, a variety of two and three-dimensional shapes, etc with geometric relationships. Teachers taught geometry theorems through the experimental method.
- It starts with the assertion of a general rule and proceeds from there to a specific conclusion.
- Teachers taught them the geometry rules first then they reach the theorem.
- It establishes linkage with real-life observations and knowledge already gained.
- It starts with a rule and provides for practice and applications.
Hence, we can conclude that Geometry theorems are taught by experimental method at upper primary classes which follows from general to specific direction the learning experiences proceed during teaching.
