Mathematics and Life 89 You know maths worksheet - 4

 You know maths worksheet - 4


Background Through this You know maths worksheet series I have been trying to make the readers recall basic mathematical concepts and processes. Today we will discuss some more concepts and processes. 


Find if the following statements are true or false 


  1. 2.34 can be written as 234 / 100 True / False

  2. 8% of 80 is 6.40  True / False

  3. 15 + (-14) is 1   True / False

  4. 2 x 3 + 6 - 10 is  8  True / False

  5. A purchased something for Rs. 100 and sold it to B for Rs 120. Now B sold it back to A for Rs 100. Can I say that  both A and B equal profit and loss ? True / False

  6. A painter has a frame 5 ft by 4 ft. He makes a painting leaving 6 inch order. How much space is available for painting now, 15 sq ft ? True / False

  7. I can complete work in 12 days. Rohan is one and a half times faster than me. How long will he take to complete the work ? 8 days True / False 

  8. In playing ludo I roll the dice. I want it to show a 3. What are the chances ? I think 1 / 6 True / False

  9. My UK based student asked me to write five million eight forty-six thousand nine hundred thirty three. I wrote 58, 46, 933. I think I wrote it correctly. True / False

  10. My daughter's place of residence in the US is 10.30 hours behind India. It is 9.30 pm in India. What is the time in her location ?


In the next sheet, I plan to discuss basic geometric figures. It will be the last sheet in the series.


After that, I plan to take topic by topic discussion.


Suggestions are always welcome.

    Questions presented in the worksheets look simple but are confusion. One actually needs to calculate to be confident about the answer. But it's always good to be in touch of Mathematics and solve sums and puzzles also.

      They seem to be confusing due to lack of conceptual clarity. With regular reading, solving, concepts become clear

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 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

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...
