B) Plato reasoned that mathematics is based on experimentation and abstraction.
C) Hilbert believed that mathematics can exist in the formal having concrete representations in the
mind.
D) Aristotle said that we can understand mathematics through experimentation,
abstraction, and observation
2. Aristotle's beliefs on the nature of mathematics are based on the following:
A) The objects of mathematics had an existence on their own
B) The physical, the mathematical, and the theological into which knowledge could be divided.
C) Ideas of mathematics could be viewed as a subset of the ideas
D) Logicism, intuitionism, and experimentation.

A) Mathematics exists in human creativity only.
B) Mathematical objects are not invented or created by humans.
C) A mathematics activity is not strictly governed by any one school of thought
D) Learning mathematics is restricted to real-life connections, signs, symbols, definitions, and
rules
