CTET/ UPTET/DSSSB Exam | Practice Mathematics Questions | 28th September 2019

Dear Students!!! There is most general as well as a scoring section in all the competitive entrance examinations in the teaching field i.e “Mathematics”.Because in this section only one thing is work i.e your accuracy and that could be nourished with the daily practice.With proper system, Study Notes, Quizzes, Vocabulary one can quiet his/her nerves and exceed expectations in the blink of an eye. So, for this, we are providing you the daily quiz for all teaching exams i.e CTET Exam 2019, DSSSB ,KVS,STET Exam.

Q1. As per NCF 2005, the goal of mathematics teaching in school curriculum is that children learn ‘Important Mathematics’ Important Mathematics implies

(a) Growing ability in Numerical Innovations and Techniques

(b) Growing Aptitude in Numerical Innovations and Training

(c) Growing Ability in Numerical Innovation and Training 

(d) Growing Aptitude in Numerical Innovations and Techniques

Q5. A learner exhibiting difficulty in sorting, recognizing patterns, orienting numbers and shapers, telling time and measurement may have dyscalculia with difficulty in

(a) language processing

(b) visual-memory

(c) visual-motor coordination

(d) visual-spatial skills

Q6. Read the following question from class VI textbook

“Write a pair of integers whose sum gives a negative integer.”

The above question refers to

(a) Reflective question

(b) Closed ended question

(c) Multi-disciplinary question

(d) Open-ended question

Q7. Learning Mathematics at upper primary level is about

(a) gaining understanding of mathematical concepts and their applications in solving problems logically

(b) learning problem solving techniques only 

(c) learning lots of new formulae and algorithms 

(d) remembering solutions or methods of various types of mathematical problems

Q8. Four states of language development in Mathematics classroom in order are

(a) everyday language → mathematized situation language → language of Mathematics problem solving → symbolic language

(b) everyday language → symbolic language → language of Mathematics problem solving → mathematized situation language 

(c) everyday language → language of Mathematics problem solving → mathematized situation language → symbolic language 

(d) everyday language → language of Mathematics problem solving → symbolic language → mathematized situation language

Q9. In Geometry class of VI grade students, the teacher explained the construction of angles measuring 30°, 60° and 90°, with the help of demonstration of construction and bisector of an angle. Then, she asked the students to construct an angle of 15° and an angle of 45°. This task at this point reflects the teacher’s intention to 

(a) assess the learner’s performance in summative assessment 

(b) give the exposure of experiential learning

(c) assess the student’s understanding and ability to combine two skills learnt, to accomplish the given task

(d) engage every students in some work

Q10. Place of mathematics education in the curricular framework is positioned on twin concerns.

(a) What Mathematics education can do to improve the score of students in summative examination and how it can help to choose right stream in higher classes?

(b) What Mathematics can do to retain every child in school and how it can help them to be self-dependent?

(c) What Mathematics education can do to improve communication skills of every child and how it can make them employable after school?

(d) What Mathematics education can do to engage the mind of every students and how it can strengthen the student’s resources?
