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…….

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common.

Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...

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...
