T-TET PAPER-II

PART-V: MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE-(60 MCQs)

. MATHEMATICS-(30 MCQs)  Number System: Knowing our numbers, whole numbers, positive and negative integers, rational numbers-their properties, fractions and decimals, playing with numbers

 

 Algebra: Formation of algebraic expressions, idea about monomials, binomials and Polynomials , addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of algebraic expressions, some identities as (a+b)2 = a2 +2ab+ b2 , (a-b)2 = a2 -2ab+ b2 , a 2 - b2 =(a+b) (a-b) and their applications, formation and solution of linear equation for one unknown variable, factorization using identities, factorisation in (x+a) (x+b) form exponents and powers.

 

 Arithmetic: Square and square root, cube and cube root, ratio and proportion, inverse proportion as proportionality with the reciprocal, percentage, profit and loss, simple and compound interest.

 

 Geometry: basic geometrical ideas (2-D), understanding elementary shapes (2-D and 3-D).

 

 Lines and angles, triangles and its properties, congruency of triangles, classification of quadrilaterals as rectangle, square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, and their various characterization, idea of various polygons, practical geometry (triangle and quadrilateral), symmetry, construction (using straight edge scale, protector, compasses)

 

 Mensuration: Perimeter and area of rectangle, square, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, triangle and circle, the idea about cuboid, cube, cylinder and their surface area and volume.

 

 Data handling: Graphical representation, representing numerical data, as pictographs, bar graphs, double bar graph and pie chart, tabular representations, representing numerical data as frequency table, mean, median, mode and their applications

PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES IN MATHEMATICS: 

 Nature of mathematics, logical thinking, understanding children’s thinking and reasoning, language of mathematics, community mathematics, place of mathematics in curriculum, aims and objectives of learning mathematics in primary classes, values of mathematics learning, correlation with other subjects, lower primary and upper primary mathematics curriculum. 

 Mathematics, trends and developments, historical development of mathematics, history of great mathematicians and their contributions. 

 Approach to mathematics learning, proper learning experiences keeping in mind the characteristics of children, natural learning capacity and the learning process of the child, theoretical base of learning mathematics.

  Problem of teaching, different teaching learning methods, inductive and deductive mentods, analytic and synthetic method, project method, laboratory method, planning of a lesson, 

 Learning materials in mathematics, textbook and handbooks, mathematics collection, collection of mathematical puzzles, riddles, etc.

  Mathematics learning evaluation: Concept of continuous and comprehensive evaluation, evaluation activities, grading the performance and recording the results, diagnosis, remedial teaching and error analysis.
