Question

Which of the following is NOT mathematical skill?

• A. Asking relevant questions
• B. Selecting appropriate instrument for drawing
• C. Interpreting graphs and diagrams
• D. Verifying results in problems

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Asking relevant questions

Asking relevant questions is not typically considered a mathematical skill.

Mathematical skills generally refer to abilities directly related to performing mathematical operations, solving problems, and understanding concepts. These include skills such as:

• Problem-solving (e.g., applying mathematical methods to find solutions).

• Numerical computation (e.g., adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, etc.).

• Algebraic manipulation (e.g., simplifying expressions, solving equations).

• Logical reasoning (e.g., using logic to prove theorems or understand relationships).

While asking relevant questions is important in the learning process (it helps in clarifying concepts and deepening understanding), it is more of a general cognitive skill or a critical thinking skill rather than a specific mathematical skill.
