Please sorry for posting the first question more than once, did that when i didn't have any responce.Thanx so much for the answers,they were the best ones i got.I have another set of questions to ask, they are;

1.Please give a detailed{i.e step-by step}outline for the setting of a diagnostic test in mensuration.
2.What are the concepts involved in mensuration?

A math teacher may give you more specific information, but here are a few websites to get you going:

Thanx for the reply but that wasn't what i needed.
I need an outline on how to set a test such that the lack of{conceptual,logical,translational}skill can be picked out.Then i also need to know the topics involved in mensuration.
Thanx so much,Please i'm very desperate for an answer.God bless.

I apologize for the confusion. Here is a step-by-step outline for setting a diagnostic test in mensuration:

1. Determine the learning objectives: Identify the specific skills and concepts in mensuration that you want to assess. This may include topics such as perimeter, area, volume, surface area, and geometric shapes in both two and three dimensions.

2. Create a variety of question types: Include a mix of multiple-choice, short-answer, and problem-solving questions to assess different levels of understanding. Ensure that the questions accurately measure the desired skills and concepts.

3. Sequence the questions: Organize the questions in a progressive manner, starting with easier ones and gradually increasing in difficulty. This allows you to gauge the students' understanding at different levels.

4. Cover different aspects of mensuration: Include questions that test not only the knowledge of formulas but also the ability to apply them in real-life scenarios. This can involve word problems, and situations requiring the use of logical reasoning for problem-solving.

5. Include questions with common misconceptions: Incorporate questions that have commonly observed errors or misconceptions that students may have. This helps to identify areas where students might be struggling with specific concepts or logical reasoning.

6. Provide clear instructions: Clearly communicate the expectations and format of the test to the students. Specify the units to be used, whether calculators or formulas can be used, and the time limit for completion.

7. Review and revise: Once you have created the test, review it to ensure that it aligns with the learning objectives and adequately assesses the desired skills and concepts. Make revisions as necessary to improve clarity and accuracy.

As for the concepts involved in mensuration, they include:

1. Perimeter: The sum of all the sides of a polygon.

2. Area: The measure of the surface covered by a shape. It is measured in square units.

3. Volume: The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.

4. Surface Area: The total area of all the surfaces of a three-dimensional object.

5. Geometric shapes: These include polygons (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals) and circles.

6. Pythagorean theorem: A formula used to calculate the sides or angles of a right-angled triangle.

7. Solid geometry: Includes concepts related to three-dimensional shapes, such as prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.

I hope this helps!
