A teacher has taught measurement of area to class VIII children, but many of her students are confused between the usage of different units of area and volume. What could be the reason for such a confusion in children?

• The children have not memorised different units
  
  

• Different units have been introduced all together without relating them with daily life
  
  

• The concept of measurement of area is a difficult topic for a class VIII learner
  
  

• The children did not know the use of units for area

Which one of the following can be the most appropriate aim of encouraging mathematical communication in classroom?

• Children who have fear about mathematics should be able to interact in the class
  
  

• To organise debates in the class regarding topics of mathematics.
  
  

• Children should be able to recite theorems and formulas in mathematics class.
  
  

• Children should be able to use a precise language while talking about mathematical statements and using them.

The purpose of a diagnostic test in Mathematics is

• to give feedback to the parents
  
  

• to fill the progress report
  
  

• to plant the question paper for the end term examination
  
  

• to know the gaps in children's understanding

Remedial teaching is helpful for

• recapitulating the lesson
  
  

• teaching in play-way method
  
  

• removing learning difficulties of weak students
  
  

• teaching the whole class

Summative Assessment of the unit'Mensuration' can be done through

• paper-pencil test

• ICT activity

• project work

• maths lab activity

Mr. Nadeem gave the following task to his class, after completing the topic on lines and angles. Speak for 2 min on the following figures using your knowledge about lines and angles

This task is

• reflective in nature can be used to pass time

• exploratory in nature can be used for summative assessments

• reflective as well can be used for formative assessment

• communicating and can encourage Mathematical talk in the classroom during free time

Read the following question from the Class VI textbook
"Prabal deposited { 5000 in a bank at the rate of 5% interest per annum. After 2 yr, he withdrew the money to purchase the study table for { 3500. He deposited the money left with him again at the rate of 5% interest per annum for another two years. How much amount will he receive after two years?"
What values can be inculcated in students through this question?

• Honesty

• Habit of saving money and spending it wisely

• Sincerity

• Simplicity and helping others

As per NCF 2005, one main goal of Mathematics education in schools is to

• develop numeracy skills

• enhance problem solving skills

• nurture analytical ability

• mathematise the child's thought process

As per NCF 2005, Mathematics curriculum is ambitious, coherent and teaches important Mathematics. Here 'ambitious' refers to

• seek narrow aims of teaching Mathematics in school

• seek higher aims of teaching Mathematics in school

• teach more than one way of solving problems of Mathematics

• teach variety of Mathematics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data handling

A teacher asked the students to collect leaves and to identify symmetry patterns. This task reflects the teacher's efforts to

• relate real-life experience with mathematical concepts

• introduce an intradisciplinary approach

• enhance creativity amongst students

• improve mathematical communication
