In Mr. Greene's third-grade class, math problems are easy enough that students always solve them quickly and correctly. From the textbook's perspective, is this a good situation? Why or why not?
a. Yes, this is the ideal situation for learning math: Although the students may not move as quickly through the school's math curriculum as students in other classes do, they will learn that math is an easy and enjoyable activity.
b. Yes, this is a good situation provided that Mr. Greene also warns students that the math curriculum will be more difficult for them once they reach high school.
c. This might be a good situation if students are solving problems in small, cooperative groups. However, if they're working on the problems individually, they need harder problems to help them discover whether they have a natural aptitude for math.
d. No. If students never have any trouble with math problems, they won't know how to handle the occasional failure and frustration they're likely to encounter when they tackle more challenging problems at higher grade levels.
