Correct Answer - Option 1 : Proceeds from unknown to known
Mathematics is the study of numbers, shape, quantity, and patterns. The nature of mathematics is logical and it relies on logic and connects learning with learners' day-to-day life.
- Teaching methods of mathematics include problem-solving, lecture, inductive, deductive, analytic, synthetic, heuristic and discovery method. Teacher adopts any method according to the needs and interests of students.
Deductive Method: The deductive method is based on deduction. At first, the rules are given and then students are asked to apply these rules to solve more problems.
Hence, it could be concluded that unknown to known principle is followed in the use of the deductive method in teaching Mathematics.
Inductive Method: Inductive approach is based on the process of induction. It is a method of constructing a formula with the help of a sufficient number of concrete examples.
- Induction means to provide a universal truth by showing, that if it is true for a particular case.
-
Inductive approach proceeds from-
- Particular to general
- Known to unknown
- Simple to complex
- Example to formula
Example: Square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.
