With an activity on paper folding, a teacher was trying to depict the relationship of the areas of a parallelogram and a triangle. Which of the following best depicts the transformation of stages?
Students make errors while solving, mathematical problems because
they do not refer to multiple textbooks
their socio-economic status affects their performance

they do not practice enough
Ameena is playing with matchsticks and adds one at each stage
Appu, on the other hand, makes a table
What is your observation about the two children in this situation?
Ameena will need lots of matchsticks to come to a generalisation. However, Appu would be faster.
Both Ameena and Appu are trying to make generalisations
Ameena would be learning by doing and Appu may not be able to see the pattern at all.
Ameena is only playing and Appu is doing Mathematics.
