understand abstract concepts
(3) the child is at concrete-operational stage and 
he can understand and conceptualize concrete 
experiences by creating logical structure.

fully mature to grasp the abstract concepts.

 Key Mathematical concepts required to solve this 
problem is:
(1) Area of square and rectangle, perimeter of 
square and rectangle and definition of square 
and rectangle

47. Algebra is introduced in the middle classes. According 
to Piaget‘s theory of cognitive development, it is 
appropriate to introduce algebra at this stage as:
(1) the child is at sensorimotor stage and 
can understand with the help of lots of 
manipulatives. 
(2) the child is at pre-operational stage and can 
understand abstract concepts
(3) the child is at concrete-operational stage and 
he can understand and conceptualize concrete 
experiences by creating logical structure. 
(4) the child is at formal operational stage and is 
fully mature to grasp the abstract concepts.
48. Mr. Sharma was assessing the students‘ work on 
exponents. One of the response sheet was as follows:
(a) 2
3
 × 2
5
 = 2
8
 (b) 3
2
 × 4
2
 = (12)
4
(c) 3
3
 ÷ 3
5
 = 3
–2
 (d) 7
20
 ÷ 7
14
 = 7
6 
(e) 9
3
 ÷ 18
6
 =
1
2
3






 On the basis of this response sheet Mr. Sharma can 
make the following observation:
(1) Child has understood the laws of exponents and 
can apply them well.
(2) Child has understood the laws of exponents but 
has made clerical errors.
(3) Child has understood the laws of exponents 
but has not practised the questions involving 
division of two numbers.
(4) 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.

cm × 65 cm. Length and breadth of the box is 30 cm 
and 15 cm respectively. What is the possible height 
of the box ? Also find the volume of this box.
 This task refer to
(1) lower level cognitive demand as it requires the 
knowledge of formulae of volume of cuboid. 
(2) lower level of cognitive demand as there is no 
connection between concepts involved and 
procedure required.
(3) higher level of cognitive demand as the 
problem can be solved by making diagrams and 
connections between many possible situations.
(4) higher level of cognitive demand as it requires 
the use of conceptual understanding that 
underline the procedure to complete the task.
