The most probable reason for the primary student's inability to retain mathematical information in their working memory is:1. Basics of mathematical information are symbol dependent2. Primary students are unable to recall mathematical information at the spur of moment3. It is difficult for the student to process the information 4. Teaching methods are not appropriate

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Basics of mathematical information are symbol dependent

Working memory is the retention of a small amount of information for a shorter period of time. Short-term memory is also called working memory and relates to what we are thinking about at any given moment in time.

 The primary school stage is the basic platform on which the later stages need to be built. At the primary stage, basic concepts need to be taught. They have to understand the basic concepts effectively.

  • Mathematics is completely based on numbers and symbols.
  • Symbols refer to different quantities and also tell the relationship between two quantities. For example:- -,=,+,<,> etc.
  • Primary students are very confused about symbols. They are not able to differentiate between different symbols.

Thus, it is concluded that the most probable reason for the primary student's inability to retain mathematical information in their working memory is Basics of mathematical information are symbol-dependent.
