CTET MATHEMATICS QUIZ 17

Question 1:

While introducing the concept of multiplication Ms Neetu, a class II teacher, started with word problems such as “There are 4 members in a family and if each member requires 3 rotis for lunch; how many rotis are required ? What is the objective of using this type of word problems to introduce the concept ?

To improve the communication skills of children.

To develop the ability to connect real life situation with mathematical problems.

To integrate mathematics and language classes.

To focus only on developing mathematical language among children.

Question 2:

To solve 27x4, a student uses the following strategy:

27x4 →30 × 4 →120

3x4 → -12

108

She says aloud the answer is 108.

Which of the following is most appropriate for the strategy used by the student ?

The student has estimated the answer through this strategy.

The student has used compensation strategies for multiplication.

The student has arrived at the answer by hit and trial method.

It is an inappropriate algorithm to solve a problem on multiplication.

Question 3:

On seeing a samosa a child calls it as a triangle According to van hieles theory of geometrical development, the child is at ------------ level of geometric reasoning.

Visualisation

Relationships

Analysis

Deduction

Question 4:

Which of the following concepts CANNOT be taught using Dienes blocks?

Numbers and place value

Probability

Addition

Subtraction

Question 5:

Which one of the following is NOT related to approaches of Mathematics teaching ?

Inductive – Deductive

Problem – Solving

Analysis – Synthesis

Drill and Practice

Question 6:

Which of the following is NOT an appropriate reason for fear of mathematics ?

Cumulative nature of mathematics.

Symbolic language of mathematics.

Methods of assessment and language used in textbook.

Mathematical Inabilities of learners.

Question 7:

While solving a problem on addition, ‘234+42’, a student said aloud : “If it were 40 then it would be 244, 254, 264, 274 but its 42, so it will be 274+2 – 276”, therefore 234+42 is 276. Which one of the following statements is correct for the strategy used by the students ?

Oral computational strategies must be discouraged in mathematics classroom.

The work of a teacher is incrased while correcting problems solved by such methods.

Such algorithms are not indicative of students conceptual knowledge.

Use of Informal strategies in mathematics help a teacher to know the process of child’s understanding of a concept.

Question 8:

Which of the following statements is NOT correct on the context of teaching area measurement of plane figures ?

Students should be given a chance to discover the various formulae.

Use of formula for area-measurement should be taught before estimation of areas.

Grid paper can be a useful device for introducing and implementing the formal units of measurement.

Tessellations with regular shapes can be useful for teaching area-measurement.

Question 9:

‘Visualization and Representations’ are important processes to be ensured in mathematics teaching at primary level because.

They have implications for teaching algebra and geometry in higher mathematics.

These are the only skills to be taught at primary level.

These are the only ways to assess learning in mathematics.

They make the teacher’s work easy.

Question 10:

Which of the following is the most appropriate purpose of assessment in Mathematics at the primary level ?

Giving frequent tests to make students do error free calculations.

Recording the progress of the child over a period of time for the purpose of giving feedback and remediation.

Creating competition among learners to improve their performance.

Emphasising on ranking the students by giving them scores.
