Practice Test: Mathematics Pedagogy - 1 - CTET & State TET MCQ

Engage is the first and initial phase of mathematics teaching, the teachers try to make the child ready or get him engaged in the process of learning. While teaching a particular topic in the subject mathematics he may help the child in getting engaged in some mental or physical exploration activities.

Ram is doing mathematics along with play.

The 5 Step Lesson Plan provides one of the most effective and versatile templates for direct instruction. It helps students learn new material and understand how the individual lesson fits in with their learning. Additionally, it helps teachers to keep tabs on student comprehension. The five steps involved are the Anticipatory Set, Introduction of New Material, Guided Practice, Independent Practice, and Closure. The five stepped system of lesson planning was developed by Herbert.

Exterior class activities have more impact than the regular classes. Shapes are an integral part of any architecture and such trips encourage connections across disciplines, therefore, a teacher can plan a trip to historical places for teaching ‘shapes’.

To develop skill of counting among children seriation, creating groups, one to one correspondence, sorting is required to be learned as pre number concept. Reciting number names randomly is not required to develop the skill of counting.

In the given question students have to count the rectangles in the figure, first student has to understand, what is rectangle and how lines are used in that. Therefore the above question is testing understanding of learner.

Out of 471 books, 100 books are spoiled; therefore the approach of teacher to ask this question is to tell them to take care of books because 100 books were spoiled which is due to carelessness. If these books are under proper care they never be spoiled.

Educational diagnostic test are related to study matter or study material designed for specific level or standard of education. These tests diagnose disorder of material according to level of class.

Here mathematisation refers to develop child's abilities to develop the child's resources to think and reason mathematically, to pursue assumptions to their logical conclusion and to handle abstraction. Hence, option D is correct.

Salman is not clear about the concept of addition of integers.

One-to-one correspondence is an aspect of “Number sense”. It is a foundational math skill for preschooler. In this skill a child starts counting from 1 to10 sometimes he can forget a digit or can recite twice then they provide to counting by matching sets and comparing number amounts and in counting objects to 10.

Numerals should be introduced only after the learners have an experience with counting. Learning to count is a child's very first step into mathematics, and constitutes the most fundamental idea of that discipline. Counting is an important exercise for children. They will learn numerals once only if they have knowledge about counting it’s like a step towards numerals and it helps them to explore the relationships between numbers. Hence correct option is D.

Supervised study is the study of assigned work by the students in the presence and under the direct supervision of the teacher. Supervised study creates a formal and studious atmosphere for the self-study of students because the students are free to work independently in consultation with their teacher. In this technique, the needy students get spot help and guidance at once. The mistakes of the students can be removed on the spot and difficulties be removed then and there. In this technique student needs to be given time to assimilate what they have been taught.

The development of students’ mathematical communication shifts in precision and sophistication throughout the primary, junior and intermediate grades, yet the underlying characteristics remain applicable across all grades. During whole-class discussion, teachers can use these characteristics as a guide both for interpreting and assessing students’ presentations of their mathematical thinking and for determining discussion points.

This question is asked to enhance problem solving skills using learnt concepts. Hence, option C is correct.

If a child recognizes that ‘’all square are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square’’, then the child begins to recognize the relationship between types of geometrical shapes and figures.

In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proved on the basis of previously established statements, such as other theorems, and generally accepted, such as self-theory. A theorem representation has a logical consequence. It can’t be in the form of implication.

The above theorem can be proved by contradiction. It involves by assuming that the opposite statement is true, and then shows that such an assumption leads to a contradiction and then that its result is not possible.
