Q41

Computational skills in mathematics can be enhanced by :

  1. (1) conducting hands-on-activities in class
  2. (2) giving conceptual knowledge
  3. (3) clarifying concepts and procedures followed by a lot of practiceCorrect answer
  4. (4) describing algorithms only

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) clarifying concepts and procedures followed by a lot of practice

  1. Computational skill means doing calculations correctly and quickly.
  2. The child first needs to understand the concept and why a procedure works.
  3. Then practice makes the skill fluent and accurate.

Trap: (4) describing algorithms only gives steps without meaning or practice.
