Remedial teaching is helpful for
recapitulating the lesson
teaching in play-way method
removing learning difficulties of weak students
teaching the whole class
Which one of the following is not a mathematical process?
Memorisation
Estimation
Measurement
Visualisation
True, because errors reflect the thinking of child
false, because mathematics is exact
true, because errors provide feedback about the marks they obtained
false, because errors occur due to carelessness
