WB TET Mock Test - 9 - WBTET MCQ

Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. It consists of a wood board with evenly spaced rows of nails or a plastic board with protruding pegs around which string or rubber bands are wrapped.

Key Points

Geo-board helps students to :

• comprehend mathematical concepts effectively by utilizing concrete objects and experiencing real situations.
• test and experience theoretical knowledge and discover different mathematical properties of various geometrical objects.
• enhances the interest and motivation of learners to learn mathematics.
• provide a better learning experience that helps learners to relate geometrical concepts with their daily life activities and nature.
• promote ndividual learning while engaged with geo-boards as learners engage in an exploration of mathematical contents in their way.

​Hence the most appropriate reason for introducing Geo-board-based activities could be to provide concrete representations for many investigations into geometrical concepts.​

The aim of good evaluation of written material is to help teachers to plan, write, produce, and evaluate materials that will help students to learn. These materials range from single-page handouts which are used in lessons, through to complete manuals which health workers use to help them in their jobs. Hence, good evaluation of written material should be based on linguistic expression, logical presentation and ability to reproduce whatever is read.

Learner-centered teaching methods shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners.

Key Points

Learner-centered teaching methods include: 

• Active learning, in which students solve problems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain, debate, or brainstorm during class.
• Cooperative Learning is an instructional method in which students work in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal under the guidance of the teacher.
• Inductive learning, also known as discovery learning, is a process where the learner discovers rules by observing examples. The inductive method of teaching and learning is an umbrella term that includes a range of instructional methods.

All the above methods are learner-centered or student-centered because they impose more responsibility on students for their own learning than the traditional classroom lecture-based deductive approach does.

Additional Information

•  Passive learning is defined as “a method of learning or instruction where students receive information from the instructor and internalize it.”
• In basic terms, this means that a student will listen and read the material and reflect internally without further reflection back or reviewing.

In education, teaching is the concerted sharing of knowledge and experience, which is usually organized within a discipline and, more generally, the provision of stimulus to the psychological and intellectual growth of a person by another person or artifact. The steps are in the following order:
(iv) Formulating instructional objectives
(i) Relate the present knowledge with previous one
(v) Presentation of instructional materials
(ii) Evaluation
(iii) Reteaching

Formative evaluation refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs and academic progress during a lesson, unit or course.

Key PointsPromoting self-assessment allows students to reflect on their own learning, set goals, and monitor their progress. To create a conducive learning environment, it is important to:

• Give chances for self-assessment: Self-assessment allows students to reflect on their own learning and to identify areas where they need to improve. This can help students to become more motivated and to take more ownership of their learning.
• Promote collaboration among students: Collaboration allows students to share their ideas and to learn from each other. This can help students to develop critical thinking skills and to become more creative problem solvers.
• Create a positive and supportive environment: A positive and supportive environment allows students to feel safe and comfortable taking risks. This can help students to learn more effectively.
• Provide opportunities for feedback: Feedback helps students to identify areas where they need to improve. This can help students to become more effective learners.

Hence, it can be concluded that to create a conducive learning environment, it is important to give chances for self-assessment.

Key Points

• Nai Talim is a spiritual principle that states that knowledge and work are not separate. Mahatma Gandhi promoted an educational curriculum with the same name based on this pedagogical principle.
• Gandhi was a utopian; he tried to bring ‘the Kingdom of God on the earth (Ram Rajya) where truth and non-violence would be guiding principles.

'शेखर एक जीवनी'  उपन्यास प्रेमचन्द्र का नहीं है।

‘शेखर एक जीवनी’ महज एक उपन्यास नहीं है और न ही कथानायक शेखर की जीवनी का लेखा-जोखा, वरन् स्नेह और वेदना का जीवन-दर्शन भी है, जिसे लेखक ने अपने जीवनानुभवों के विस्तृत दायरे के सूत्र में पिरोया है। सच्चिदानन्द हीरानन्द वात्स्यायन ‘अज्ञेय’ की यह अमर कृति हिन्दी साहित्य में मील का पत्थर है।

Rule- The object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice and the subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice.This is valid in both ways (Active to passive and vice-versa). Further, the verb is changed to the past participle form. 
Thus, option 1 is correct.

The given idiom means 'to go back to the starting point of something'. For example, '​The Government and the State Bank spent years strengthening the nation’s economy but the recession and slowdown shattered it, so we are back to square one.'

The sentence "We must respect the elders" in the Active Voice can be transformed into the Passive Voice as:

A. The elders must be respected.

This option accurately conveys the original meaning of the sentence in the Passive Voice.

We can say that ,
The above given sentence is given in Passive Voice :-
Use structure “subject (Someone )+ auxiliary + present participle + object”
Someone will deliver the packet to your house.
Hence , option B will be correct answer .

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Evolve (verb): develop over successive generations as a result of natural selection.

Mutate (verb): undergo or cause to undergo change in a gene or genes.

Recast (verb): present or organize in a different form or style.

Convert (verb): change the form, character, or function of something.

Grammatically singular subject ‘flu’ will take only a singular verb, thus ‘evolved’, ‘recast’ and ‘change’ can be easily eliminated. Now between ‘mutates’ and ‘converts’, ‘mutates’ is a better contextual fit.

Hence, option C is correct.

The idiom by fits and starts implies doing something irregularly and without any routine or regular schedule to do that particular thing. Among the given options we can choose option B since it gives us the correct meaning of the said idiom whereas the rest can be eliminated since they are irrelevant here.

This makes option B the correct choice among the given options.

• Meaning of Hesitated: Pause in indecision before saying or doing something.
• Meaning of Stopped: (of an event, action, or process) come to an end; cease to happen.
• Meaning of Paused: interrupt action or speech briefly
• Meaning of Slowed: reduce one's speed or the speed of a vehicle or process
• Meaning of Postponed: cause or arrange for (something) to take place at a time later than that first scheduled

Mathematics is an increasingly unpopular subject at school because of its lack of relevance to everyday life. The sudden increase in difficulty to understand the language due to unnecessary social and mental pressure increasing its association towards being called a nerd. A certain amount of prerequisite intelligence is required to achieve success in mathematics. The chances of being a failure in this subject creates an amount of fear in students which later leads them to stay away from science as mathematics is widely used in all other science subjects. Mathematics also has very little application based career option at a higher level.
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".

All the mentioned approaches are used to teach the concept of Maths.

The Silicon Valley of India is a nickname of the Indian city of Bangalore. The name signifies Bangalore as a hub for information technology companies in India.
