1. The connection between conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics is paramount. While
learners who simply memorize procedures may perform well on tests, those who develop deep
conceptual understanding (2) not only excel in problem-solving but also have the ability to make
connections between mathematical ideas.

2. 1) a and c.

3. 3) b, c, and d.

4. (3) a learner needs to remember less because they understand more.

5. b) 109 is a prime number

6.

(a) 62 x (30 + 5):

- 62 x 30 = 1860

- 62 x 5 = 310

- Add them: 1860 + 310 = 2170

(b) 62 x (5 x 7):

- 5 x 7 = 35

- 62 x 35 = 2170

C) The strategy applied in both (a) and (b) is the distributive property, which involves breaking down one
factor into smaller, more manageable parts and then multiplying each part separately before combining
the results.
7. Platonic solids referred to as pyramids include the tetrahedron, which is a pyramid with a triangular
base. It's considered a pyramid because it has a polygonal base and triangular faces that converge to a
single point (apex).

- Digital resources: (f) Geogebra and computers.

- Procedural: (h) Understanding of the preparation of the lesson.

- Axioms: (c) It represents the hundreds in any place value table.

- Adaptive reasoning: (b) It assists one to improve on instructional practices and reflecting through
justification and explanations.

- Polyhedron: (g) An object made of flat faces.

- Before phase: (d) Knowledge that is understood, constructed internally, and referred to is logico-

12. A triangular pyramid, also known as a tetrahedral

Properties

1. **Faces:** A triangular pyramid has four faces. Each of these faces is a triangle.

2. **Edges:** It has six edges. Each edge is formed by the intersection of two triangular faces.

3. **Vertices:** A triangular pyramid has four vertices. These vertices are the points where the edges
meet.
4. **Triangular Faces:** All four faces of a triangular pyramid are triangles. These triangles can be
equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, depending on the dimensions of the pyramid.

5. **Base and Apex:** One of the triangular faces is considered the base of the pyramid, and the
remaining three faces converge at a single point called the apex.

6. **Symmetry:** A regular triangular pyramid has an axis of rotational symmetry that passes through
the apex and the centroid of the base triangle. This means that if you rotate it about this axis, it will look
the same in different positions.

7. **Height:** The height of a triangular pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the apex to the
base. This height can be inside or outside the pyramid.

8. **Volume:** The volume of a triangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula: \(V = \frac{1}
{3}Bh\), where \(B\) represents the area of the base triangle and \(h\) is the height of the pyramid.

9. **Surface Area:** The surface area of a triangular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its four
triangular faces. It can be calculated by finding the area of each triangular face and adding them
together.

10. **Euler's Formula:** For a triangular pyramid (or any polyhedron), Euler's formula holds true: \(V - E
+ F = 2\), where \(V\) is the number of vertices, \(E\) is the number of edges, and \(F\) is the number of
faces.

**Objective:** Today, we're going to dive into the fascinating world of collecting and organizing data
using tally charts. Our goal is to understand how tally charts work and why they are so valuable in real
life.

**Materials Needed:**

- I've set up the whiteboard with markers or chalk.

- Tally chart templates are ready, either pre-printed or drawn on the board.

- As an option, there are stickers or small prizes as rewards to keep things fun!

**Procedure:**

**1. Introduction (10 minutes):**

- Let's start by talking about why data collection and organization matter in our daily lives. Imagine you
want to figure out which ice cream flavor is the most popular in our class. Well, data collection helps us
make decisions like that.

- Look here at the board; I've drawn a sample tally chart. It's like a secret code for counting. After every
four tally marks, we group them together. This way, we can count a lot faster.

**2. Activity Setup (5 minutes):**

- I've prepared small cards with questions about your favorite things, like colors or pets.

- These cards are hidden around the room, and there's a variety of questions to make it interesting.

**3. Tally Chart Treasure Hunt (20 minutes):**

- Now, we'll work in pairs or small groups. Each group gets a clipboard, a blank sheet of paper, and a
pencil.

- Your mission is to find those hidden cards, ask your classmates the questions, and record their
answers using tally marks on your clipboards. Remember, neatness counts!

**4. Data Organization (10 minutes):**

- Once we're all back in the classroom, it's time to share what we've found. Each group will get a
chance to show how they organized the data on the board using a tally chart template.

**5. Class Discussion (10 minutes):**

- Let's have a discussion about what we've discovered. We'll compare and contrast the data collected
by different groups. Did we find a popular color or pet preference?

- What trends or patterns can we see in the data? Why do you think some choices were more popular
than others?
**6. Conclusion (5 minutes):**

- To wrap things up, remember that tally charts are fantastic tools for collecting and organizing data.
They help us understand information quickly and spot trends.

- In the real world, we use tally charts for surveys, voting, and even keeping score in games.

- And for the exciting part, there might be stickers or small prizes as rewards for active participation!

Now, let's embark on our "Tally Chart Treasure Hunt" adventure and become data experts!

15. Deductive reasoning is a logical process that involves drawing a specific conclusion based on a set of
established premises or facts. It operates on the principle that if the premises are true and the logical
structure of the argument is valid, then the conclusion must also be true. Deductive reasoning is often
used in mathematics, science, and formal logic.

For example, consider the following deductive reasoning:

Premise 1: All humans are mortal.

Premise 2: Socrates is a human.

By applying deductive reasoning, we can logically conclude:

Conclusion: Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

In this example, deductive reasoning starts with general principles (in this case, the idea that all humans
are mortal) and applies them to a specific case (Socrates) to arrive at a certain conclusion. It's a powerful
method for ensuring that our conclusions follow logically from the information we have, making it a
valuable tool in problem-solving and decision-making.
