2.5 What is the difference between relational understanding and instrumental​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Instrumental understanding – having a mathematical rule and being able to apply and manipulate it. Relational understanding – having a mathematical rule, knowing how to use it AND knowing why it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instrumental understanding involves “memorising which problems a method works for and which not, and also learning a different method for each new class of problems” (Skemp 1987, p. 159), is a desire to know “some kind of rule for getting the answer” (p. 155) so that a student can “latch on it and ignore the rest”

In Still Water, Peters Boat Goes 4 Times as Fast as the Current of the River. He Took a Trip 15 Miles Up the River, Then Came Ba
inn [45]

Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Rate of river current = x km/h

Speed of Peter's boat = 4x km/h

He takes 15 km trip up (opposite direction)

His speed upstream = 4x - x

= 3x

His speed is 3x and distance is 15 km

Time = Distance / Speed

15/3x

= 5/x

And

Moving downstream (same direction)

Speed will be 4x + x = 5x

Distance = 15km,

speed = 5x

Time = Distance / Speed

= 15/5x

= 3/x

Total time take for trip = 4 hours

Total time take for trip = upstream + downstream

4 =5/x + 3/x

4 = 8/x

Cross product

4 * x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Rate of river current = x km/h

= 2 km/h

Ruben has two congruent wooden dowels. He cuts one dowel in two in order to have three pieces to make a triangle. Explain why, d
e-lub [12.9K]
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem in identifying what triangle can be formed.

Let us assume that the 2 wooden dowels each measure 8 inches. We cut off one wooden dowel into half, so it becomes 2 pcs of 4 inches each.

The 3 wooden dowels now measure, 4 inches, 4 inches, and 8 inches. 

The Pythagorean theorem states: 

a² + b² = c²
4² + 4² = 8²
16 + 16 = 64
34 ≠ 64

The measure of the cut wooden dowel must be longer than the uncut wooden dowel to create a triangle. 

I also tried this on a piece of paper, I cut each piece according to the assumed measure. No triangle can be formed under this activity.
