Which of the following is a desirable practice in the context of teaching and learning of measurement of volume?
A.Begin by writing the formula of volume of a cube.
B.Encourage precise calculation right from the beginning.
C.Begin by introducing students to the volume of 2-D figures.
D.Encourage students to figure out ways to calculate the volume of different objects.✓ Correct
Explanation
Constructivist pedagogy emphasizes that students should explore and discover concepts through hands-on activities. Encouraging students to figure out their own ways to measure volume develops conceptual understanding before formal formulas. Starting with formulas, demanding precision too early, or introducing volume of 2-D figures (which is incorrect since 2-D figures have area, not volume) are poor practices.
