Practice Test: Mathematics Pedagogy - 4 - CTET & State TET MCQ

Lower order thinking is the foundation of skills required to move into higher order thinking. These are skills that are taught very well in school systems and includes activities like reading and writing. In lower order thinking information does not need to be applied to any real life examples, it only needs to be recalled and slightly understood. If a person only obtains lower order thinking skills they will not be prepared for real life situations such as the labour market.

Open ended task means, a task where the possibilities of answer are more than one. As here student can short these triangle may based on angle or sides. Hence, Option B is correct.

Project learning is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills while working in small collaborative groups. This learning is filled with active and engaged learning, it inspires students to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they're studying. Also, students develop confidence and self-direction as they move through both team-based and independent work.

On the basis of this response sheet Mr. Sharma can observe that child has understood the law of exponents for the cases where the base is same and has missed the concept for the case where the base is different. Hence, option D is correct.

This student has concept of units, conversion of units, fractions but missed the concept that ratio does not have units.

At the upper primary stage, when the language of abstractions is formalised in algebra, inadequate teacher preparation reflects as inability to link formal Mathematics with experiential learning. Later on, it reflects as incapacity to offer connections within Mathematics or across subject areas to applications in the sciences, thus depriving students of important motivation and appreciation. So, that a teacher believes that, students' errors provide insight into their thinking.

All are the organizations of Remedial teaching in Mathematics. Tutorial teaching is a remedial teaching session given to one student or a small group of students.

Auto-instructional programs are educational material from which students learn by themselves. The teaching technique based on auto-instructional programs. Its purpose is to enable the learner to progress through a pre-arranged sequence of experiences to the acquisition of knowledge or skill. Informal teaching encompasses student interests within a curriculum in a regular classroom but is not limited to that setting. It works through conversation and the exploration and enlargement of experience.

Brain storming is a democratic and problem-centred technique. It is based on modern theory of generalization of task. In this technique the content is largely determined by the children.

Mapping strengthens spatial thinking, promotes proportional reasoning and can be integrated in many topics of mathematics. So, mapping is a part of mathematics curriculum. Therefore, option B is not correct regarding the mapping in mathematics.

Birkhoff proposed that a specific aesthetic experience of an object is a function of three variable symbolized as M, O and C and provided a mathematical formula M = O/C for the measure of aesthetic value or sense of beauty associated with the perceived object.

M = The aesthetic value or measure of the beauty of an object

O = Order of the aesthetic sense lying in the object judged on the basis of the characteristics such as harmony, symmetry, regularity, orderliness, systematic arrangement etc.

C = level of complexity of the object.

Synthesis method is reverse of the analytic method. Synthesis means to place together things that are apart or “to join separate parts”. In this method we proceed from known to unknown or we start with hypothesis and end with conclusion. Thus synthesis begins from the data and connects them with the conclusion. In analytic method we proceed from unknown to known and conclusion to hypothesis.

A theorem is a mathematical statement whose truth has been logically established.
Pythagoras theorem states that, in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
Pythagoras theorem can be best explained by the inductive-deductive method.

Hence, from the above-mentioned points, it becomes clear that Pythagoras theorem can be best explained by inductive-deductive method.

Steps of remedial teaching in sequence are:

• Analysis of pupils
• Teaching objective
• Adopting curriculum
• Choosing strategies
• Evaluation
