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.

46. A class VII teacher wants to discuss the following 
problem in the class:
 “ A square is divided into four congruent rectangles. 
The perimeter of each rectangle is 40 units. What is 
the perimeter of given square?”
 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
 
(2) Meaning of the terms square, rectangle, 
congruent, perimeter, etc.
(3) Area of rectangle, perimeter of square
(4) Formation of algebraic equation to solve the 
problem
  
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.
49. According to Van Hiele level of Geometric thought 
the five levels of geometric understanding are 
visualization, analysis, informal deduction, formal 
deduction and rigour. Students of class VII are 
asked to classify the quadrilaterals according to their 
properties. These students are at..............level of Van 
Hiele Geometrical thought.

(3) Informal Deduction (4) Formal Deduction
50. A task assigned to the class VIII student is as follows:
 An open box is to be made out of metallic sheet of 50 
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.

(2) Exploratory in nature, can be used for summative 
assessments.
(3) Reflective as well can be used for formative 
assessment. 
(4) Communicating and can encourage 
Mathematical Talk in the classroom during free 
time.
52. A child of class VII defines the rectangle as follows:
 “Rectangle is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides 
are parallel and equal.”
 The definition reflects that the child
(1) cannot recognize the shape 
(2) do not know the correct properties of the shape
(3) knows the properties of the shape, but repeated 
some properties in definition 
(4) knows some properties but missed some 
important to complete the definition.

54. Read the following question from the class VI text-
book:
 “Prabal deposited ` 5,000 in a bank at the rate of 5% 
interest per annum. After 2 year he withdrew the 
money to purchase the study table for ` 3,500. He

(4) Simplicity and helping others
55. Following is a problem from text-book of class VI:
 “Express the following statement through linear 
expression:

x toffees, how many toffees does Neha have?”
 This problem is based on:
(1) Knowledge (2) Comprehension
(3) Analysis (4) Synthesis
