  • 2. 

    A good knowledge of numbers is the product of structured practice and repetition.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A good knowledge of numbers is not something that can be acquired overnight. It requires consistent practice and repetition to become proficient in understanding and manipulating numbers. By practicing regularly and repeating the concepts, individuals can develop a strong foundation in numbers, leading to a good knowledge and understanding of them. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 3. 

    Good problem solvers hypothesise by thinking about logical solutions and the types of operations and number of steps needed to solve the problem.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that good problem solvers use logical thinking to come up with hypotheses and consider the operations and steps required to solve a problem. This implies that they analyze the problem and think critically about potential solutions before taking action. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Measures include the mathematical concepts of which of the following? (Select 3)

    • Mass

    • Colour

    • Time

    • Sound quality

    • Length

    • State of mind

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Mass
    A. Time
    A. Length
    Explanation
    The given options include both physical quantities and subjective concepts. However, only the physical quantities can be considered as mathematical concepts. Mass, time, and length are all physical quantities that can be measured and quantified mathematically. Therefore, these three options are the correct answers.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Mathematical language is helpful but not essential to children’s development of thinking.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that mathematical language is not essential for children's development of thinking. However, this is not true. Mathematical language plays a crucial role in developing critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, logical reasoning, and abstract thinking. It helps children to understand and communicate mathematical concepts effectively. By using mathematical language, children can articulate their thoughts, analyze patterns, and make connections between different mathematical ideas. Therefore, mathematical language is indeed essential for children's development of thinking.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following are good strategies that can be used in solving problems? (Select 3)

    • Look for a pattern

    • Ask a teacher

    • Simplify

    • Work backwards

    • Try every combination until something yields results

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Look for a pattern
    A. Simplify
    A. Work backwards
    Explanation
    Good strategies that can be used in problem-solving include looking for a pattern, simplifying the problem, and working backwards. Looking for a pattern helps to identify any recurring elements or trends that can lead to a solution. Simplifying the problem involves breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts. Working backwards involves starting from the desired outcome and figuring out the steps needed to reach that goal. These strategies can help in approaching problems systematically and finding effective solutions.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Comprehension
    A. Memory
    A. Literacy skills
    A. Numeracy skills
    A. Organisation
    Explanation
    Pupils need comprehension skills to understand and interpret information presented in the classroom. Memory is important for retaining and recalling information. Literacy skills are necessary for reading and writing tasks. Numeracy skills are essential for understanding and working with numbers. Organization skills help pupils stay organized and manage their time effectively in the classroom.
