Making the mentally retarded students learn through concrete experiences and making them apply the learned skills will surely work for mentally retarded children. Therefore, it becomes important for the teacher to plan out instructions for clear understanding of the concepts. 

The statement "Children actively construct their understanding of the world" was said by Piaget. Piaget saw the kid as constantly creating and re-creating his own model of reality, achieving mental growth by integrating simpler concepts into higher-level concepts at each stage. He argued for a “genetic epistemology,” a timetable established naturally for the event of the child’s ability to think, and he traced four stages therein development. Hence, the correct answer is, 'Piaget.'

Teachers who work under school-based assessment feel a sense of ownership for the system.

Teachers are the most important resources in educational settings. They are the key figures for any changes required in the educational field. Their patience and perseverance significantly impact a student's success in the classroom.

यह आसमान हमें भय से छुटकारा दिलाता है ।

भाषा शिक्षण के चार प्रमुख कौशल होते हैं – गृहणात्मक कौशल : श्रवण (सुनना), पठन (पढ़ना) अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल : वाचन (बोलना), लेखन (लिखना)। 

• अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का अर्थ है, अपने भावों तथा विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति। अपे विचारों को हम मौखिक अथवा लिखित रूप में व्यक्त कर सकते हैं।
• सुनकर लिखना या देखकर लिखना विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति नहीं है।
• अभिव्यक्ति के लिए स्वयं के मौलिक विचार महत्व रखते हैं।
• किसी अन्य की रटी-रटायी भाषा को दोहराना भी अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल नहीं है।
• इसके अन्तर्गत हम दूसरों के विचारों को उजागर कर रहे होते हैं।
• दूसरों के विचारों का विश्लेषण या आलोचनात्मक वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल के अन्तर्गत आता है।

अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि घटना वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का उदाहरण है

'गलीचा' से तात्पर्य है- कालीन या सूत के धागे से बना मोटा बिछावन 
सन्दर्भ पंक्ति - कोठी के बाहर चबूतरे पर तख्त डलवाकर मसनद के सहारे वह गलीचे पर बैठते हैं। उपरोक्त पंक्ति में लेखक ने कोठी, मसनद, गलीचे अरबी शब्द का प्रयोग किया हैं।

'ख़ामोशी ही बोलने लगती है' से अभिप्राय (इरादा) वह उद्देश्य या ध्येय जिसकी पूर्ति या सिद्धि के लिए प्रयत्नपूर्वक कोई काम लिया जाता है। जब कुछ बच्चे धीरे-धीरे बोलना बंद कर देते हैं तो बाकी बच्चों को पता चल जाता है कि उन्हें भी शांत होना है।

Phonics is a method of teaching reading and writing any language by developing a learner's ability to hear and by associating the character's identity with different sounds. For example, it is a method used to teach reading by learning the sounds that groups of letters make when spoken. Hence, the correct answer is Phonics.

The line in the passage, "It was too heavy to tip.." gives the answer. 'Tip' as used in context means 'to cause, to assume a slanting or sloping position'.
Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.

The poet is telling that one day all the proud emperors or kings or queens will die and their dead remains would be mixed with the other dead people's ashes that were forgotten.
Here, "mingle with forgotten ashes" refers to the remains of common people who died in a war and are forgotten, and the same way when death will call emperors they will too be forgotten one day.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Dead persons'.

The major difference between an 'article' and 'speech' is that speech is more informal. For example, in informal speech and writing, we use contracted auxiliary verbs and negatives. Also, prepositions often come at the end of certain structures.
In informal language, we often leave out words.

She uses this strategy to create a certain way of thinking and reasoning. In exploratory instruction, teacher teaches by planting questions, like seeds, that encourage students to investigate their own approaches to learning the material. The students create their own paths, instead of getting a ready-made path.

The teaching methods should be more reliable to the students at this stage. Mostly the teacher teaches the students by using the non-metric units to calculate the mathematics, these are also known as basic mathematical techniques. In this method, the students are used to measure the area or lengths with the help of their palm-size, with the length of the pencil they use or by taking some leaves to measure.

The mathematical manipulative tools are also a type of teaching-learning materials that are specifically used by the students to internalize the abstract mathematical concepts.

• The students used the manipulative tools by themselves to explore, investigate, and internalize the concepts to enhance their mathematical competency.
• These are the teaching tools or materials used to engage students in learning mathematics to provide direct and hands-on experience.

All these things come in the language of mathematics.

• Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes, quantities, and patterns.
• Mathematics is the ‘queen of all sciences and its presence is there in all the subjects.
• It acts as the basis and structure of other subjects.
• Proof of a Mathematical Statement consists of a sequence of statements, each statement being justified with a definition or an axiom or a proposition that is previously established by the method of deduction using only the allowed logical rules.
• Thus, each proof is a chain of deductive arguments each of which has its premises and conclusions.

Proof by contradiction: 

• It is also called reductio ad absurdum (a Latin phrase) because it relies on reducing a given assumption to an absurdity.
• Here, we start with the assumption that the given statement is false.
• By rules of logic, we arrive at a conclusion contradicting the assumption and hence it is inferred that the assumption is wrong and hence the given statement is true.
• In this method, to prove q is true, we start by assuming that q is false (i.e., ~ q is true).
• Then, by a logical argument we arrive at a situation where a statement is true as well as false, i.e., we reach a contradiction r ∧ ~ r for some statement that is always false.
• This can only happen when ~ q is false also.
• Therefore, q must be true.
• To prove 'A line passing through the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side' for this we assume that the statement is false and end up with the conclusion that the statement is true.

​Thus, from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that this type of proof is proof by contradiction.

HOTS questions are able to make students trained to think creatively about any topic or concept. So, it demands knowledge and some degree of cognitive efforts.

A concept map provides a concrete record of the connections perceived by the students, and thus it indicates how the student’s knowledge is organized and interconnected.

Solve by thinking and reasoning is very much important. Until and unless students don't have such ability then it is not worth keeping mathematics as a subject in the course curriculum. Teachers must not give students the formulae sets to solve the problems rather they must help them to answer the problem by thinking and finding out the reason themselves so that they have the capability to handle everything easily.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Giving students set formulae to solve the numerical questions,'

Arithmetic, Algebra, Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry are the different branches of mathematics. 'Quadratic Equations' is the sub branch of Algebra. So, Algebra and Quadratic Equations represent the same branch.

Multidisciplinary is something that combines many fields. For a Class IV student, if a teacher has given to draw the flag of India and identify the number of lines of symmetry in the flag, then this student must aware of the design, colors and symbol in the flag of India and also should be aware of the concept of symmetry to find the number of lines in symmetry in the flag. Thus, it is referred as a Multidisciplinary Problem.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Draw the flag of India and identify the number of lines of symmetry in the flag.'

The synthesis method in teaching is an approach that encourages students to combine various pieces of information to form a new concept, or to draw new conclusions.

All the other diseases are caused due to the deficit of minerals in the normal diet of an individual, while typhoid is caused by bacteria. 

As an EVS teacher, the major objective of organising a field trip to a zoo should be to provide active learning experience to students.

In the southern hemisphere, seasons are opposite to those in northern hemisphere, with summer falling in the months December-February and with winter falling in the months June-August. Hence, in Australia, Christmas is celebrated during summer.

Cooked rice when stored within the refrigerator tends to become dry. This food item is often stored for about three days considering it is low or negligible levels of protein in it. The bacteria prospering on protein foods are more likely to give foodborne illnesses than the bacteria prospering on starch and sugars.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Microbes becomes inactive at low temperature.'

Working in groups is an important mode of learning. Collaborative learning is an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers.

The community serves as a living laboratory that provides authentic and practical learning opportunities.

• Community in a real setting: Communities offer a rich and diverse learning environment where students can engage with real-world situations and interact with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
• By involving the community in the teaching and learning process, students can gain valuable insights, perspectives, and knowledge that go beyond what can be found in textbooks or traditional classroom settings.
• Furthermore, the community offers a diverse range of expertise and resources that can supplement classroom instruction. 

Hence, "It provides a learning community in a real setting" is the correct explanation of why the community is an important teaching and learning resource.
