1.1.2 There are different quadrilaterals we will be applying

problem-based learning on a parallelogram to prove
How would you apply that its diagonals are equal
problem-based learning
(PBL) approach to teach By examining and defining the problem given that
the topic Quadrilaterals ABCD is a parallelogram which AC=BD
By exploring what they already know about underlying
issues related to it. Proving that ABCD is rectangle
By determining what they need to learn and where
they can acquire the information and tools necessary
to solve the problem. Having proof that ∆DAB and
∆CBA are triangles which are equal and that DA= AB
because sides of parallelogram are equal same as
AB=DC AND AC=BD
By evaluating possible ways to solve the problem.
DBA+CBA= 180° and DAB+DAB= 180° and DAB=90°
By solving the problem. ABCD is a rectangle which
proves that it is parallelogram

1.2.1
Can logico-mathematical
knowledge be transmitted
from teacher to learner
while the learner remains
passive? Give reasons to
substantiate your answer
1.2.2
Logico-mathematical
knowledge is acquired
through reflective
abstraction, depending on
the child’s mind and the
way he/she interprets
reality (use mathematical
content to discuss this
statement).

1.1.2
Yes – It is knowledge that
is built in the mind of the
learner. The brain builds
neural connections that
connect pieces of
knowledge to form new
knowledge. For example,
a number of related
concepts are mathematical
logical types of knowledge.
The number is an
invention of every child, for
example the one that
makes two.
Reflective abstraction is a
concept introduced by
Piaget to describe the
construction of logico-
mathematical structures by
an individual during his
cognitive development.
Depending on the child’s
mind and the way he/she
organises and interprets
reality. Example; abstract
ideas and concepts like
rectangle, difference,
quotient etc.
1.2.3
Logico-mathematical
knowledge without using
social and physical
knowledge as a foundation
is bound to be ineffective
(use mathematical content
to discuss and confirm this
statement)
Yes – Physical knowledge
these are made on the
characteristics of
something. Example; if
you have a blue and a red
ball (the colour of the ball I
observable). Physical
knowledge resides in the
objects themselves and
can be discovered by
examining the objects and
noting their qualities.
Social knowledge these
are names and
conventions invented by
humans. Example;
Christmas is 25th; it’s
polite to say thank you for
a gift. Social knowledge
is arbitrary and
knowledge only if told or
demonstrated by other
people.
