Correct Answer - Option 1 : Class V
The teaching method is a way to put theory into practice. It generally describes the pedagogy of children, general principles, and management strategies that are to be used through the whole teaching-learning process.
-
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.
- In primary classes, the teaching of mathematics should be done through fun and playful activities that include real-life situations to provide concrete experiences to students.
- When a student observes, explores, and tries to make a conclusion by using all of his senses he can learn effectively and his curiosity can be developed well.
Problem-solving method:
- Problem-solving is a learner-centered approach that emphasizes the learner's active involvement in the learning process.
- In this approach, teachers create a problematic situation for students and then assist them in perceiving, defining, and stating the problems.
- The teacher tries to raise a problem in the minds of students so that it can stimulate purposeful reflective thinking to arriving at a solution.
- The children took the problem as a challenge that enables them to have mastery over their environment.
- The students of class I, II, III, IV are less able to observe and explore as compared to the class V students.
- The class V students can follow a problem-solving approach more systematically and in an organized manner.
Hence, it could be concluded that the problem-solving method in Mathematics is more effective for class V.
