| What teaching method for mathematics was emphasized by the National Focus Group in 2005? | a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics | Preface Through the years, from the time of the Kothari Commission, there have been several committees looking at ways of making the school curriculum meaningful and enjoyable for the learners. Based on the understanding developed over the years, a National Curriculum Framework (NCF) was finalised in 2005. As part of this exercise, a National Focus Group on Teaching of Mathematics was formed. Its report, which came in 2005, highlighted a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics. The essence of this approach is that children already know, and do some mathematics very naturally in their surroundings, before they even join school. | 440 | definition | 1.000 | Its report, which came in 2005, highlighted a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics. | 7 | page=7,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |

| What are school principals and teachers expected to do to ensure the framework's success? | to encourage children to reflect on their own learning and to pursue imaginative activities and questions | This principle marks a departure from the legacy of bookish learning which continues to shape our system and causes a gap between the school, home and community. The syllabi and textbooks developed on the basis of NCF signify an attempt to implement this basic idea. They also attempt to discourage rote learning and the maintenance of sharp boundaries between different subject areas. We hope these measures will take us significantly further in the direction of a child-centred system of education outlined in the National Policy on Education (1986). The success of this effort depends on the steps that school principals and teachers will take to encourage children to reflect on their own learning and to pursue imaginative activities and questions. | 647 | relationship | 0.970 | The success of this effort depends on the steps that school principals and teachers will take to encourage children to reflect on their own learning and to pursue imaginative activities and questions. | 3 | page=3,block=0 | 0.700 | |
| What is required to foster creativity and initiative in children? | perceive and treat children as participants in learning, not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge | We must recognise that, given space, time and freedom, children generate new knowledge by engaging with the information passed on to them by adults. Treating the prescribed textbook as the sole basis of examination is one of the key reasons why other resources and sites of learning are ignored. Inculcating creativity and initiative is possible if we perceive and treat children as participants in learning, not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge. These aims imply considerable change in school routines and mode of functioning. Flexibility in the daily time-table is as necessary as rigour in implementing the annual calendar so that the required number of teaching days are actually devoted to teaching. | 352 | relationship | 0.970 | Inculcating creativity and initiative is possible if we perceive and treat children as participants in learning, not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge. | 3 | page=3,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What helps children apply concepts or processes in different situations? | several examples and exercises, but not of the same kind | This is the philosophy with which the mathematics syllabus from Class I to Class XII was developed, and which the textbook development committee has tried to realise in the present textbook. More specifically, while creating the textbook, the following broad guidelines have been kept in mind. l The matter needs to be linked to what the child has studied before, and to her experiences. l The language used in the book, including that for ‘word problems’, must be clear, simple and unambiguous. l Concepts/processes should be introduced through situations from the children’s environment. l For each concept/process give several examples and exercises, but not of the same kind. This ensures that the children use the concept/process again and again, but in varying contexts. | 622 | relationship | 0.970 | l For each concept/process give several examples and exercises, but not of the same kind. | 7 | page=7,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is the purpose of providing proofs in a non-didactic manner? | allowing the learner to see the flow of reason | l As far as possible, give the children motivation for results used. l All proofs need to be given in a non-didactic manner, allowing the learner to see the flow of reason. The focus should be on proofs where a short and clear argument reinforces mathematical thinking and reasoning. l Whenever possible, more than one proof is to be given. l Proofs and solutions need to be used as vehicles for helping the learner develop a clear and logical way of expressing her arguments. l All geometric constructions should be accompanied by an analysis of the construction and a proof for the steps taken to do the required construction. | 125 | relationship | 0.970 | l All proofs need to be given in a non-didactic manner, allowing the learner to see the flow of reason. | 8 | page=8,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
