A teacher in grade-VI provided each child with a centimeter grid paper and a pair of scissors. She wanted them to explore how two-dimensional shapes can be folded into three-dimensional objects. Which of the following concepts are the students exploring?
Reflection
Nets
Decimals
Rotation
If two adjacent sides of a square paper are decreased by 20% and 40% respectively, by what percentage does the new area decrease?
50
52
60
48
B.
52
Let us consider one side of a square be 100 cm
Area = 100x100=10000 cm2
Reducing the sides by 20% and 40% we get the sides as 80 cm and 60 cm
New Area = 80x60=4800 cm2
Percentage reduction ==52%
With an activity on paper folding, a teacher was trying to depict the relationship of the areas of a parallelogram and a triangle. Which of the following best depicts the transformation of stages?
Students make errors while solving, mathematical problems because
they do not refer to multiple textbooks
their socio-economic status affects their performance
they make alternative interpretations of concepts in their attempt to make meaning
they do not practice enough
Ameena is playing with matchsticks and adds one at each stage
Appu, on the other hand, makes a table
What is your observation about the two children in this situation?
Ameena will need lots of matchsticks to come to a generalisation. However, Appu would be faster.
Both Ameena and Appu are trying to make generalisations
Ameena would be learning by doing and Appu may not be able to see the pattern at all.
Ameena is only playing and Appu is doing Mathematics.
