MTE1501/102/0/2023 1. One of the aims of mathematics according to the CAPS document, is "deep conceptual understanding in order to make sense of mathematics". How important is the connection between conceptual and procedural knowledge? (1) 1) Learners remember every step of the calculation methods and find the right answer. 2) Learners can construct a relational understanding of mathematics. 3) Learners get procedures to get very good marks in their tests and examination. 4) Learners can make connections between different mathematical ideas. 5) Learners know when to use a rule to solve the problem. 2. Which statements below does fit the "behaviorial " way of teaching mathematics? (1) a) Learners explore and experiment with mathematics ideas before the teacher teaches it formally. b) It is important that learners understand every step of a calculation method while doing it c) A learner makes meaningful learning and copes with problem-solving. d) When learners get their marked tests back, they do not discuss their mistakes, but move on. 1) a and c 2) a and d 3) band d 4) a, b and c 3. Which statements are true about the diagonals of shapes... (1) a) The diagonal of a square is equal in length to the sides of a square. b) The diagonal is the line joining the opposite vertices of the quadrilateral. c) The diagonals of a kite have a perpendicular positional relationship. d) The diagonals of a rectangle are the same in length. 1. a, b, and c 2. a, b, and d 3. b, c and d 4. a, c and d 4. The phrase "instrumental understanding of mathematics" means that... (1) 1) A learner connects different mathematical ideas together with understanding 2) A learner makes meaningful learning and copes with problem-solving. 3) A learner needs to remember less because they understand more 4) A learner can solve mathematical problems logically, without a prescribed method
