Discussion
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Mathematics education is teacher-centric.
Reason R: Before pre-schooling, child develops mathematical thinking by interaction with surroundings and environment.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer: B
The Board's key is Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
The Reason is true: before school, children build early mathematical ideas (more and less, shapes, counting, sharing) from play and from what they meet around them. The Assertion describes how mathematics has commonly been taught, with the teacher directing and the child following; the key accepts it as a true description of that practice.
R does not explain A: a child's early thinking from surroundings is not the reason mathematics teaching is teacher-centred. Modern curriculum frameworks call for child-centred teaching, so the Assertion is true only as a statement of usual practice, not of what is recommended; read as a recommendation it would be false, and option D would follow.
