• To learn how to learn
• To follow rigid rules

Which strategy emphasizes the use of learners' prior knowledge to discover new concepts?

• Demonstration Approach
• Discovery Approach
• Practical Work Approach
• Problem Solving

In the Inquiry Teaching strategy, what is the first step the teacher does?

• Formulate hypotheses
• Present content
• Provide a problem
• Grade answers

Which approach involves learners manipulating concrete objects?

• Practical Work Approach
• Brainstorming

What is a feature of the Math-Lab Approach?

• Learners work silently
• Learners choose materials and methods
• Only teacher talks
• No discussion allowed

Which method allows learners to progress at their own rate?

• Problem Solving
• Brainstorming
• Discovery Approach
