Question



Ten-year-old Kakuli is struggling with a difficult math problem. What can her teacher do to enhance her problem-solving skills?

A.

Encourage her to keep trying and offer scaffolding when needed.

B.

Give severe punishment so that it is not repeated in future.

C.

Give her the solution to the problem.

D.

Tell her to skip the problem and move on to the next one.

Correct option is A


The best way to enhance Kakuli's problem-solving skills is to encourage her to keep trying and offer scaffolding when needed. Scaffolding refers to providing temporary support that helps the student progress independently. This approach helps children build resilience, critical thinking, and confidence in their abilities. Effective scaffolding strategies include breaking the problem into smaller steps, asking guiding questions, and offering hints rather than direct solutions.
