Characteristics of a good textbook of Mathematics should be

• there are many solved examples and some questions of exercise

• there are sufficient solved illustrations and more questions of exercise

• All of the above

Mathematics is the mirror of civilization is said by

• Locke

• Plato

• Hogben

• Dalton

Algebra is introduced in the middle classes. According to Piagets' theory of cognitive development, it is appropriate to introduce algebra at this stage as

• the child is at sensorimotor stage and can understand with the help of lots of manipulatives

• the child is at pre-operational stage and can understand abstract concepts

• the child is at concrete-operational stage and he can understand and conceptualize concrete experiences by creating logical structure

• the child is at formal operational stage and is fully mature to grasp the abstract concepts

Following is a problem from textbook of Class VI

Read the approaches used by the two teachers to teach solving oflinear equation, say 2x - 6 = 10

Teacher A	Teacher B
Steps (a)Take 6 on other (b) Change the sign of 6 and add to 10 (c) Get 2x = 16 (d)Take 2 on the other side and divide (e) Get x = 8	Steps (i) Equation always mentain equality. So, same operation with same number can be performed on both sides to maintain equality (ii) HENCE, 2X - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6 = 2X = 16 (iii) $\frac{2\mathrm{x}}{2} = \frac{16}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{x} = 8$

It can be observed that

• teacher A focuses on conceptual knowledge while teacher B focuses on procedural knowledge

• teachers A and B focus on instrumental
  understanding

• teacher A emphasizes on instrumental understanding while teacher B emphasizes on
  relational understanding

• teacher A emphasizes on relational understanding while teacher B emphasizes on instrumental understanding

Writing proofs in geometry implies
