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…….

Purpose of the series is to explain various basic mathematics concepts in simple language connecting concepts to examples from life,business, science, day to day life. It will be our special emphasise to develop what Dr. Prakash Moghe calls the math - language interface. That is, showing similarity between the words used in daily language and mathematics like point, ray, interest and so on......     Audience This series of posts is for everyone who wants to understand, learn, revise, apply maths concepts, formulae, and wants to develop Problem Solving Approach, critical thinking, design thinking, and mathematical thinking. Agewise , from age 6 to the time one wants to learn / revise / teach basic maths will find these posts useful in their own ways. Frequency of posts At least one post a day has been planned. Length of posts Each post will be self content, so will be long enough to elaborate the point and short enough to keep the reader engaged. The reach Each post wil...

Mathematics and Life 2 About me - Early Childhood to formating years

  Overview  Past   36 years I have been a maths classroom teacher by choice.  Childhood and family Born in a Maharashtrian Bramhin family in 1960, with father being a medical doctor, childhood was very blissfully ignorant of the ground realities of the world. Being a government doctor with zero PR activities, I continue the trend, transfer or long posting in tribal areas was a norm. We spent 6 years in Bastar district in early 1970s. One of the most interesting things to recall is we three brothers often used to sit and talk a lot in Hindi. In the presence of parents, we three used to interchangeably toggle Hindi - Marathi.

Moving to Indore To reduce the stressful impact of transfers on our studies, in 1976 myself and elder bro...

Mathematics and Life 4 Mathematics as just a computational tool

  The importance of definition  I would like to discuss how the policy makers', parent body, school administrators, investors', teachers' perception of what is it to be good at maths ? affects the students and ultimately the workforce, industry, economy in general. 1. Mathematics as a computational tool    This is the current, popular perception of knowing maths. Our classroom teachings, examination system, wide spread tutoring, coaching business all tend to develop, appreciate, the skill of reaching one unique answer as fast as possible. The Abacus or its various versions, as a training tool are classic examples of this. Students are expected to be too good at a skill in past 61 years of life I have not needed. I ask the readers, how often, if at all, you needed to find 5813 x 3876 infraction of a minute and that too accurately ? I bet never. But, just as a ritual, under peer pressure children go year after year to learn something which is first of all not needed at...
