Which of the following statements is in agreement with the constructionist view of Mathematics?
A.Mathematics is about learning facts.
B.Mathematicians are required to discover the 'truths'.
C.Mathematics is entirely objective.
D.Visualisation is an important aspect of Mathematics.✓ Correct
Explanation
The constructivist view sees mathematics not as a body of fixed truths to be discovered, but as a human activity involving the construction of meanings, with visualization playing a critical role in mathematical thinking and understanding. Mathematicians use visualization to explore patterns, form conjectures, and prove theorems. The other options reflect a Platonist or absolutist view of mathematics as fixed, objective truths waiting to be discovered, which contradicts the constructivist perspective.
