Re: Scanned pages



I. Do you think you want to enhance this to 9th grade and later to 8th Grade. I sense that by the time children are in 10th - they still lack basic elementary math skills like multiplying negative numbers with positive numbers ?
Cross Multiplication.
Finding Square roots , cube roots of.
The content will be in the same format - multiple choice/ one line answer / yes-no / true-false /match-the-following.
 
Teachers can download this and take printouts and give it to students. This is not Online test/ but rather something that I can take it to a rural school and give it to the teacher and show where the students need to sharpen their skills

II. Is it possible to enhance your web site and develop math-word problems, so that when we give it as a quiz -they can still figure it out. ( for rural students ) e.g:
- A water well is 20 feet in dia, and collects water from the base at 2 inches / day - how many days does it take to fill ?  ( here they are learning geometry )
1) 20 days   2) option2    3 ) option 3     4 ) option 4

- A coconut tree grows at 3 ft /year and max height is 100 ft, How many years does it take to reach this height
1)  10 years   2 ) 20 years 3 ) 30 years ...

- A farmer sells 100 eggs at 3 rupees /each in the local market, and he wants to increase his profits, by 10 %. what should he sell it at ?
1 )   option 1 , 2, 3   4

- A certain field has to be fenced, and it has an area of 1 acre X 1. 5 acres - and he has to place posts every 10 ft apart. Can he do it with 25 posts
1 ) Yes 2 ) No

- To calculate the A.P we use this formula, Tn = a + ( n -1 )d
1 ) True 2 ) False

- Shobha climbs Chamundi hills in 1 hr and there are a 1000 steps? how much steps does she take every minute .............. ( to be completed )

- Skin grows at 2 mm / day, and if the cut in the skin is 1 cm , how many days does it take to heal ?


III. There are several high, middle and lower high schools in my rural village and they can benefit from this a lot ? 


In the next months - I am visiting a new school further than Tumkur.

We can send out question papers thru regular post ( say 10 out of our 100 questions ) in advance and when we go there, present a new q paper ?
