Mathematics Instruction Quiz

What is a disadvantage of the first approach in Case Study 1 involving formal mathematics and using 'rules'?

• It emphasizes problem-solving as a means of enhancing comprehension

• It allows students to construct their own understanding of new content

• It offers little opportunity for learners to do mathematics

• It encourages learners to create and invent their own constructions of the concept
