Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 4 - Question 9

Brainstorming process is developed by Alex F. Osborn. It is the oldest and best-known technique for stimulating creative thinking. It is the most fruitful exercise to solve complex and critical problems.

  • In Brainstorming, many creative minds work together and apply their diverse thinking patterns to achieve the same learning goals. Ideas are generated spontaneously by the learners.
  • It is a democratic technique of teaching in which the student is the active role player. The teacher gives one problem or topic to the entire class and allots time.
  • Within the given time, the student must create ideas. The role of the teacher in this method is just to consider all the ideas and arise on conclusions based on the healthy discussion.
  • It provides more ideas and views to the child as in this process thought arising in the mind of the learner is noted down for further discussion and use.
  • It helps to achieve the higher order of cognitive objectives as it just demands the active participation of the child in the learning process by making them think and note the ideas in their own style. 

Hence, it could be concluded that all of the above statements are true about brainstorming.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 4 - Question 18

The human information processing system does not have which of the following features which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 4 - Question 18

From a psychological point of view, the dominant model of human learning is of the child as an information processor, attempting to derive meaning from experience by subjecting it to several modes of processing like classification or categorisation of new information and relating those to the existing experiences to derive meaning. There are three main features of the human information processing system which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

  • Learning by induction: As human beings, we appear to be very able to engage in the process of induction (inferring general rules or patterns from a range of particular cases), but relatively less well-equipped for deductive reasoning (the opposite process of inferring particular cases from the general rule). Inductive reasoning is the basic process whereby children can easily make sense of their world by classifying and categorising experience into increasingly structured conceptual structures and models.
  • Limited ‘working memory’ capacity: While teaching mathematics we usually are not aware that human being has a limited capacity of processing information. For example, Miller has demonstrated from a whole range of evidence that we hold only about seven separate pieces of information in our short-term or ‘working’ memory. We know the procedures we must go through to get the answer to the second sum, and we can carry out each of the separate computations involved. What we cannot do is hold all the information in our head at once. While we are working out one part, the result of the previous computation is very likely to be forgotten. This happens all the time for children with much smaller numbers and less complicated procedures.
  • Development of metacognitive awareness and control: The third general feature of the human processing system which we must consider is that it is a system that not only learns but learns how to learn. When one is aware of his/ her ways of thinking or learning, what the American psychologist has termed ‘meta-cognition’, he/she acquires more ability to control over his/her actions and learning.

It should be noted that the questions asks for 'young children', while axioms and postulates are introduced after the secondary stage.
Hence, we conclude that the human information processing system does not have an understanding of axioms and postulates which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 4 - Question 26

A rhombus has diagonals of length 8 cm and 6 cm. Find its perimeter:

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 4 - Question 26

As we know that the diagonal of a rhombus meet at 90°. So, we will be applying the Pythagoras theorem to find out the side of a rhombus and will be multiplying it by 4 and as we know all the sides of a rhombus are equal and the perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides of a figure. Let us divide the diagonal into two equal halves, i.e., 4 cm and 3 cm.
Now applying Pythagoras theorem, by taking the side of a rhombus as x cm.
(x)2 = (4)2 + (3)2
⇒ x2 = 16 + 9
⇒ x2 = 25
⇒ x = √25 = 5
Therefore, Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × 5 cm = 20 cm.
