MATHEMATICS
Time: 1 Hour
Note: Use of calculator is not allowed.
Questions will be based on some or all of the following topics:
1. Pre-number
Use comparative terms for assessment of size, length, thickness, height,
capacity, weight etc. (or any other suitable parameter) of an object; apply
descriptors such as bigger-smaller, longer-shorter, thicker-thinner, higher-
lower, more-less, heavier-lighter etc. and other related words in connection
with the above mentioned measurable parameters of objects.
2. Whole number
Recognise and name numbers (up to hundreds); order numbers (1-99
inclusive); arrange these numbers on a ray and use it to represent addition
and subtraction; appreciate the place value of a number e.g. units, tens and
hundreds; add and subtract numbers up to hundreds; multiply single digit
numbers and use multiplication tables (e.g. for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) to solve
simple problems.
3. Shapes
Identify common shapes along with recognition of sides and corners (e.g.
circle, rectangle, square, triangle and oval); distinguish between ‘open’ and
‘closed’ shapes.
4. Fractions
Show familiarity with fractions and their symbolic notation (e.g. 1/2, 1/3,
2/3, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 etc.). Identify fractions from highlighted sections of
graphics of shapes; identify fractions on a given shape through suitable
highlighting of the relevant portion.
5. Time
Read and state time; name days and how many constitute a week; recall the

20, Rs 50, Rs 100); select correct amount of money to buy and sell items.

other numerical property; identify, analyse, and extend patterns of objects
or numbers and recognise the same pattern in different manifestations.
