The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the teacher's riddle, we need to analyze the statement and determine the objective behind using it in the classroom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Riddle**: The riddle states, "I am less than 8 tens and 4 ones." - Here, "8 tens" means 80 (since 8 × 10 = 80). - "4 ones" means 4 (since 4 × 1 = 4). - Therefore, the total value represented by "8 tens and 4 ones" is 80 + 4 = 84. 2. **Interpreting the Riddle**: The riddle indicates that the answer must be a number that is less than 84. This helps students understand the concept of numbers and their values in the base 10 system. 3. **Identifying the Objective**: The teacher is using this riddle to reinforce the concept of place value and the base 10 system, specifically focusing on the values of tens and ones. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: To have some fun in the class and break the monotony. - While this could be a reason, it does not specifically relate to the educational objective. - **Option 2**: To reinforce the concept of base 10 and place value. - This option directly relates to the riddle and the teaching objective, making it a strong candidate. - **Option 3**: To do summative assessment. - This option is less relevant as the riddle is more about understanding than assessing knowledge. - **Option 4**: To introduce the concept of 10s and 1s. - This option is also relevant but less specific than option 2. 5. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all options, the most appropriate answer is **Option 2**: "To reinforce the concept of base 10 and place value."
