Mathematics and Life 85 You know maths worksheet - 1

You know maths worksheet - 1


Background You know maths is a series of articles I will be posting to popularise mathematics and its applications.

Today we will play a game in which I ask you to match Column A entries with the Column B entry and find if the statement is true or false.

These are very basic questions, enjoy them. Do not think of scoring an A or A+ just try your best. Enjoying the process is more important here.


                   Column A.                                Column B


  1.              10% profit on 500 is                           550 T / F

  2.               a added to 3 times b is                      a + 3b  T / F

  3.              5.62 x 100                                            5620 T / F

  4.          15 cm long, 5cm wide paper.               60 cm is the area T / F   

  5.  Factor of 5 means                                To which 5 divides completely T/F

  6.             A is taller than B who is shorter than C  A is the tallest  T / F

  7.             Perimeter of a farm house is                 Boundary of the farm T / F

  8.             A > B means                                          B is smaller than A  T / F

  9.             500 - 530 is                                            Cannot be solved T/F

  10.             30 is a multiple of 5 means              5 divides 30 completely  T / F

  11.             1.2 x 1.3 will be                                       15.60  T/F

  12.              Torch light is example of ray                   T / F

  13.               Making right angle is same as            Being perpendicular  T / F

  14.               50 million means                                    5 crore  T / F

  15.        To be good at coding one must be        Good at reasoning skills T / F 


Hope you enjoyed solving it as much as I enjoyed creating it.


It should not take more than 10 minutes to answer these 15 questions. However, if you lost touch with basic maths, take your time. Feel free to tease others too by passing these questions and more to come…...


Answers tomorrow…….

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths. I also saw these videos which I guess will be very useful  9 tips to improve concentration https://youtu.be/LFIiW5BQP00 5 step formula  https://yout...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
