Which of the following is a desirable teaching-learning practice in the context of Mathematics?

  1. A.Open ended questions should be avoided to prevent confusion.
  2. B.Intuitive understanding of concepts should be encouraged.✓ Correct
  3. C.Open book tests should be avoided.
  4. D.Students should be told to follow the prescribed steps of solving problems.

Explanation

Encouraging intuitive understanding of mathematical concepts helps students develop deep, meaningful comprehension rather than mechanical procedure-following. Intuition forms the foundation for formal mathematical reasoning and helps students make connections between concepts. Open-ended questions promote thinking and exploration, open-book tests assess understanding over memorization, and rigid procedure-following limits problem-solving flexibility. NCF 2005 emphasizes mathematization of children's thinking, which begins with intuitive understanding.
