Faith is trust, it is believing in something or someone without question or doubt.
In the subject of mathematics, faith plays a main role. Since we were little, teachers have taught us that 1+1=2, they did not give us any explanation for that, we just believed what they said and learnt it. Later on, when we gained knowledge, we were able to understand why 1+1=2, but this wasn´t until we were older and had acquired skills to be able to understand why this was like this.
This happens with most of the content of this subject. We need to have faith in the teacher and believe that what she/he is saying is right.

Hi Monica,
I like your idea but you have answered your own question. Does faith play a part in mathematics?
Do you understand something now about 1+1=2 that you didn’t when you were 5? If so then what?
I think you could have developed the question better by talking about how knowledge is constructed in mathematics and evaluation the role of faith in the process.
3. The post uses ToK terminology successfully and talks about ToK content but does not develop the KQ.
