Discussion
To develop appreciation for mathematics among children, a teacher performs the following activities in the class. Choose the one which is not effective to achieve her objective.
Answer: A
The activity that is not effective is always praising the student who achieves highest marks in the class in the term-end examination.
Appreciation for mathematics comes from enjoying and valuing the subject itself. Praising only the top scorer makes marks the point of mathematics, encourages competition, and can make other children feel that the subject is not for them, which works against appreciation.
Videos on Indian mathematicians show the human story and heritage of the subject, puzzles and magic squares make it enjoyable, and a mathematics corner invites children to explore. All three build appreciation.
