What do you do normally after working out a math problem? You rush to look for the answer, to make sure that you have done it the right way. The feeling of immense joy you get when you find that you have got it right is something beyond words could describe! So, math answers are a source of excitement, happiness and a feeling of achievement!
You find math answers in almost all the math text books. Math answers are provided for online tutorials too.
Where math answers are a source of pleasure for a smart math student, what about the case of a student who lacks the basic math skills? Of course, for such a student, it is an unwanted or the most feared area. But those students need not worry. Math skills could be acquired through practice. Always remember, “Practice makes perfect!” If you devote at least one hour everyday on math, you are sure to become a little math master in due course. Then math answers would not be a nightmare for you.
There is another interesting feature about math answers. For most of the math problems, there would be only one right answer. At the same time, there could be many wrong answers.
Let us have a quick look at a math question.
Find the sum of the largest two digit prime number and the smallest two digit prime number.
The correct answer is 97 + 11 = 108.
Now, if a student writes it as 18, then it is obvious that he did an error in addition.
If the student writes the answer as 109, then it could be due to the reason that he / she did not understand the question or has no idea of prime numbers. That is, he/ she got the answer by taking the largest and smallest two digit numbers. (99 + 10 = 109)
And what could you infer if the answer is 1067?
Simple… The student has taken the numbers correctly, but did multiplication instead of addition.
So, the wrong math answers could lead to find out why the student went wrong or what is that he/she does not know. Thus, analyzing the math answers could guide a teacher to find out the weakness of the student. The teacher would be able to guide the student properly on supplementing his/ her math skills by taking suitable remedial measures to reinforce the concepts the student is lacking.
