CTET PAPER II 2019 · PYQ · Mathematics Pedagogy · medium
A student is not able to solve those word problems which involve transposition in algebra. The best remedial strategy is to
A.give lot of practise questions on transposition of numbers.
B.give lot of practise questions of word problems in another language.
C.explain him/her word problem in simple language.
D.explain concept of equality using alternate method.✓ Correct
Explanation
Transposition issues stem from a poor understanding of the equality concept. Explaining the concept of equality using alternate methods (like balance scales) helps students understand why we can perform the same operations on both sides of an equation. Mere practice or language simplification doesn't address the underlying conceptual gap.
