QUESTION 1
1.1 (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
To me, the statement emphasizes the importance of transforming the role of the
mathematics teacher from a traditional instructor to a facilitator of learning. Instead of
imposing knowledge on students, teachers should engage learners in active participation
and negotiation of mathematical concepts. This shift encourages students to be actively
involved in "doing" mathematics, which may involve peer discussions, individual tasks, and
quiet reflection. Rather than viewing students as passive recipients of knowledge, this
approach recognizes them as active creators of their own understanding.
