“Divisible By” means "when you divide one number by another the result is a
whole number"
Example: 6 is divisible by 2.
6
Because = 3. (and 3 is a whole number)
2

15 is not divisible by 7.
15 1
Because = 2 (the answer is not a whole number)
7 7

DIVISIBLE RULE
1. Divisible by 1. Any integer (not a fraction) is divisible by 1

2. Divisible by 2. The last digit is even (0,2,4,6,8)

3. Divisible by 3 Example: 99996


The sum of the digits is divisible by  9+9+9+9+6 = 42
3. This rule can be repeated when  4+2 = 6
needed until the answer is a two digit  6 is divisible by 3
or single digit answer.  Then 99996 is divisible by 3

4. Divisible by 4. Example
The last 2 digits are divisible by 4  1312 is (12 ÷ 4 = 3) Yes
3
 7019 is not (19 ÷ 4 = 4 4 ) No
5. Divisible by 5. The last digit is 0 or 5
 175 Yes
 809 No
 7428610 Yes

6. Divisible by 6. Is even and is divisible by 3 (it passes both the 2 rule and
3 rule above)
 114 (it is even, and 1+1+4=6 and 6÷3 = 2) Yes
 308 (it is even, but 3+0+8=11 and 11÷3 = 3 2/3) No

7. Divisible by 7. Double the last digit and subtract it from a number made
by the other digits. The result must be divisible by 7. (We can apply this
rule to that answer again)
 672 (Double 2 is 4, 67−4=63, and 63÷7=9) Yes
 105 (Double 5 is 10, 10−10=0, and 0 is divisible by 7) Yes
 905 (Double 5 is 10, 90−10=80, and 80÷7=11 3/7) No

4
8. Divisible by 8. The last three digits are divisible by 8
 109816 (816÷8=102) Yes
 216302 (302÷8=37 3/4) No

9. Divisible by 9. The sum of the digits is divisible by 9. (Note: This rule


can be repeated when needed)
 1629 (1+6+2+9=18, and again, 1+8=9) Yes

 2013 (2+0+1+3=6) No

10. Divisible by 10. The number ends in 0


 220 Yes
 221 No

11. Divisible by 11. Add and subtract digits in an alternating pattern (add
digit, subtract next digit, add next digit, etc). Then check if that answer is
divisible by 11.
 1364 (+1−3+6−4 = 0) Yes
 913 (+9−1+3 = 11) Yes
 3729 (+3−7+2−9 = −11) Yes
 987 (+9−8+7 = 8) No

12. Divisible by 12. The number is divisible by both 3 and 4 (it passes both
the 3 rule and 4 rule above)
 648
(By 3? 6+4+8=18 and 18÷3=6 Yes)
(By 4? 48÷4=12 Yes)
Both pass, so Yes

 524
(By 3? 5+2+4=11, 11÷3= 3 2/3 No)
(Don't need to check by 4) No

INDICES AND POWER NOTATION
When a number is multiplied by itself repeated times, we can re-write with indices notation.
Example
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 can be written as 25. We read 25 as 2 power 5.
25 = 32

INTEGERS
Lesson objective
a) Use the number line to introduce the idea of positive and negative integers.
b) Arrange numbers in ascending or descending order
c) Add and subtract positive and negative numbers

WHAT ARE INTEGERS?


Integers are “whole numbers” that includes negative
numbers, positive numbers and zero.

WHAT ARE NOT INTEGERS?


Decimals and fractions are examples of non-integers.

NUMBER LINENumber line is like a ruler but with positive and negative
numbers.

The numbers to the left of zero The numbers to the right of zero
are called negative integers. are called positive integers.
Examples of negative integers Examples of positive numbers
are 1 and 3. Notice the “” sign are 1 and 3.
in front of each number. 1 is
read as “negative 1”.

Notice. 0 is like a mirror on the number line. Except the numbers


on the left side has a negative sign.

ORDERS OF INTEGERS

The integers on the number line increase towards the right. This means
the value of integers on the left are less than the integer on their right.

getting getting
less more

22
COMPARISON OF VALUES
Symbols are very useful to shorten mathematical statements. For example,
the statement “3 is greater than 2” can be written as 3 > 2 where “>” means
‘is greater than’ or ‘is more than’.

Any number to the


right of −1 is bigger
than −1. Example:
1 > −1
0 > −1

Any number to the


left of −1 is smaller
than −1. Example:
−1 > −3
−1 > −2

Number Lines follow intervals which is also known as scale. Scale should have equal
intervals between numbers. The next number to the following number and so on
should have the same add-on.
Examples
Getting smaller Getting bigger Interval
−8 −6 −4 −2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 +2

Example 1: Fill in the missing numbers in the boxes

Getting smaller Getting bigger


−15 −10 −5 0 5 15 20 30

Step 1: Look at two numbers next to each other and find the add-ons.
Example 15 and 20 is +5. (15+5 = 20). So the add-ons is +5
Step 2: Fill in the missing numbers by adding (+5) from the number before the box
[or (−5) from after]

Try. Fill in the missing numbers in the boxes

Getting smaller Getting bigger


−15 −60 −40 −20 0 40 60 80 120

 its closest required place value (nearest ten, nearest hundred)

ROUNDING OFF TO MULTIPLE OF 10S


Rounding off means a number is made simpler by keeping its value intact but closer to the next
number which is a multiple of 10.

Examples:
54 round off to 50 (ROUND DOWN)
58 round off to 60 (ROUND UP)

Deciding to round up or round down to the nearest multiple of 10.

54 is closer to 50 than 60

50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60

Multiple of 10 Multiple of 10

58 is closer to 60 than 50

50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60

Multiple of 10 Multiple of 10

Rounding off rule. How to Round Numbers?


 Decide which is the last digit to keep
 Leave it the same if the next digit is less than 5 (this is called rounding down)
 But increase it by 1 if the next digit is 5 or more (this is called rounding up)

Example 1: Round 74 to the nearest multiple of 10.


 We want to keep the "7"
 The next digit is "4" which is less than 5, so no change is needed to "7"
Answer: 70 (74 gets "rounded down")

Example 2: Round 86 to the nearest multiple of 10.


 We want to keep the "8"
 The next digit is "6" which is 5 or more, so increase the "8" by 1 to "9"
Answer: 90 (86 gets "rounded up")

TRY: 214 gets rounded off to ____________

ESTIMATION (USING ROUNDING OFF METHOD IN CALCULATIONS)
Lesson Objective: Use rounded off values for calculation.

Estimating are calculations for getting closest value using numbers that are easy for calculations.
Estimation is used in real life example to find out whether there is enough money for shopping in
supermarkets where exact value is not important. Method of estimation depends on the ideal
situation.

Example in shopping : If I have $100 in my pocket, I need to overestimate the price of each item to
make sure the total amount does not exceed my pocket money when I go to the counter to pay.
Item Price Overestimate price
Scarf $4.80 $5
Shirt $17.50 $20
Jeans $22 $25
Dress $36 $40
Total $80.30 $90

 What makes a good approximation?
Which is the best approximation for 41 – 28?
a. 40 – 20
b. 40 – 30
c. 4 – 2
d. 4 – 3

Examples:
1. A total of $29 987 was collected from a walkathon. Express this value to the nearest thousand
dollars.
2. An integer number is rounded off to the nearest 1000 and its value is given as 345 000. What
are the possible smallest and largest numbers?
344 449 ≈ 344 000
344 500 ≈ 345 000
345 449 ≈ 345 000
345 500 ≈ 346 000

The possible numbers are from 344 500 to 345 499.


Therefore,
Largest possible number is 345 499 and
The smallest possible number is 344 500.

 Check answers to calculations involving whole numbers by


a) Approximation by rounding to check whether the answer is the right order of magnitude.
Example: A tv costs $798. $798 is estimated to $800. It can’t be $700 or $70 or $80.
b) Check answers by doing inverse operations.
Examples: By using a calculator to check
i. 34 x 32 = 1088 with 1088 ÷ 34
ii. 6 ÷ 7 = 0.85714286 with 0.85714286 x 7
Check answers by doing an equivalent calculation.
Examples:
i. Check 794 x 9 = 7146 with (800 – 6) x 9 = 7200 – 54 = 7146
Or 794 x (10 – 1) = 7940 – 794 = 7146
ii. Check 33 x 99 = 3267 with 33 x (100 – 1) = 3300 – 33 = 3267
Or (30 + 3) x 99 = 2970 + 297 = 3267

c) A different method
Example: Find the approximate answer for 602 + 237
Estimation method 1 600 + 200 = 800
Estimation method 2 600 + 240 = 840
46
Which is the better estimate?
Use a calculator to check which the closer estimate is.
The estimated answer is close to the exact answer, therefore the calculation is likely correct.

 Decide when it is appropriate and when it is not appropriate to use a calculator to carry out
calculations.
 The calculator is a tool to do calculations. The human brain and pencil and paper are also tools.
Students should be taught when to use a calculator and when mental computing (or even paper
& pencil) are more effective or appropriate. Choosing the right 'tool' is part of an effective
problem-solving process.
 It is very important that students learn how to estimate the result before doing the calculation. A
student must not learn to rely on the calculator without checking that the answer is reasonable.
 A calculator should not be used to try out randomly all possible operations and to check which
one produces the right answer. It is crucial that students learn and understand the different
mathematical operations so they know WHEN to use which one — and this is true whether the
actual calculation is done mentally, on paper, or with a calculator.

 Solve one- and two-step word problems involving calculations with whole numbers.
Example: How many books costing $6 each can be bought for $56?
What operation (s) do we use?
Solve mentally, written or use a calculator?
Does the answer need to be rounded off?

DECIMALS

 Complements (number bonds)


Derive quickly: decimal complements in 1 (one and two decimal places),
Examples: 1 = 0.8 + 0.2, 1 = 0.41 + 0.59

0.3 and what number makes 1?


0.3 + 0.7 = 1 or 1 – 0.3 = 0.7
 Doubles and halves
Derive quickly: doubles of two digit decimal numbers,
Examples: 3.8 x 2, 0.76 x 2
and all the corresponding halves.
Example: What is double of 2.2? 2.2 + 2.2 = 4.4 or 2x2.2 = 4.4
Correspondingly, half of 4.4? 4 . 4 ÷ 2=2 . 2
 Use knowledge of place value to multiply and divide mentally decimal numbers by 10, 100 and
1000, or by a small multiple of 10,
e.g. 4.3 x 100, 1.6 x 20 = 1.6 x 10 x 2 =16 x 2 = 32,
______ ÷ 100 = 4.7

 Use knowledge of multiplication facts and place value to multiply mentally.


Examples:
a) 0.2 x 8 = 10 x 0.2 x 8 = 2 x 8 = 16 ÷10 = 1.6
b) 0.04 x 9
c) 8 x 0.5
d) 7 x 0.03
e) ____ x 0.2=10
f) 80 x ____ =8
g) The decimal point is missing. Put it in.
i. 15.25 x 4.6 = 7 0 1 5
ii. 234.5 x 0.52 = 1 2 1 9 4

Fractional or Decimal values


A decimal number is a number that consists of a whole number and a fractional part. The decimal
point separates the whole number from the fractional part.
Example: In the number 98765.432, the decimal point separates the whole number 98765 from the
fractional part 432

Exact answer 192 ÷39=4.92
Which approximation is closer to the exact answer?

 Examples:
1. Find an estimate of:
a) 2.13 x 5.71
b) 6641 ÷ 21.3
c) (42.4 x √51) ÷ 21.3

2.One kilogram of fish was sold for $4.95. Estimate how many kilograms of fish you could buy
with $20.
 Number Sense Quizzes (No calculators!)
h) Without working out the exact answers, tell True or False:
a) (230 x 0.996) > 230

b) 2.6 – ½ > 2
c) ¾ x 62 ÷ 0.89 is less than 45

d) 0.125 x 8200 < 1000


e) √2500 < 15

 Understand that there are situations when there is no need to calculate an exact answer and an
estimate is good enough (underestimate/overestimate).
Example: Safwan wants to make a small doll house using planks of woods. The house requires 2.3
m of wooden planks. Each wooden plank is one meter long. How many pieces of wooden planks
does Safwan need to make the doll house?

ROUNDING OFF TO SPECIFIC DECIMAL PLACES


 Examples:
3. Round off 1.2468 to:
a) the nearest tenth,
b) the nearest hundredth,
c) 3 decimal places.

 Use a calculator appropriately.


 The calculator is a tool to do calculations. The human brain and pencil and paper are also tools.
Students should be taught when to use a calculator and when mental computing (or even paper
& pencil) are more effective or appropriate. Choosing the right 'tool' is part of an effective

WORD PROBLEMS

 Solve one- and two-step word problems involving calculations with decimals
Example: A pear costs $1.20 each. What is the maximum number of pears I could get if I only
have $10 inside my wallet?
What operation (s) do we use?
Solve mentally, written or use a calculator?
Does the answer need to be rounded off?
Examples:
1. A cook bought 224.5 kilograms of almonds and 1.6 kilograms of pecans. How many kilograms
of nuts did the cook buy in all?
2. A supermarket sells 1 kg of whole chicken for $3.50. Khadijah bought a whole chicken
weighting as shown below. How much did she pay for the chicken?

3. A donut store uses 1.6 kg of sugar each hour. How many kilograms of sugar will the store use
in 17 hours?
4. A drink and a box of chocolate together cost $4. Two drinks and a box of chocolate together
cost $5.50. How much is a box of chocolate?
5. Five friends went to a restaurant for lunch. The total cost for the set menu was $66. Two more
friends came to join the lunch. How much did the set menu cost altogether?

 Check answers by
a) Approximation by rounding to check whether the answer is the right order of magnitude.
Example: A book costing $26.40 is estimated to $27. It can’t be $25 or $2.
b) Check answers by doing inverse operations.
Examples:
i. Check 15.9 x 3.2 = 50.88 with 50.88 ÷ 15.9
ii. Check 99.78 ÷ 5.3 = 18.8264151 with 18.8264151 x 5.3
c) A different method
Example: 25.2 ÷ 4.9
Estimated answer 25 ÷ 5=5 or 25.5 ÷ 5 = 5.1,
Which one is the better estimate?
Exact answer 25.2 ÷ 4.9=5.14
The estimated answer is close to the exact answer, therefore the calculation is likely correct.

RATIO
 Ratio is a comparison of two things. Ratios can be written in several different ways: as a fraction,
using the word "to", or with a colon.

Ways to write ratio of squares to triangles:

As a fraction 3
Ratio of squares to triangles is
6

Using “to” Ratio of squares to triangles is 3 to 6

Using a colon Ratio of squares to triangles is 3 : 6

 To find an equivalent or equal ratio, you can either multiply or divide each term in the ratio by the
same number (but not zero). 

3 :6=6 :12=30 :60=1:2


 Two equivalent or equal ratios can be written in 2 ways:

As two equal 3 6
=
fractions 6 12

Using a colon 3 :6=6 :12

(Read as three is to six as six is to twelve)

 Proportion is two equivalent/ equal ratios

3 6
The ratios 3 :6=6 :12 (or = ) are equivalent or equal.
6 12

3 6
Therefore, 3 :6=6 :12 (or = ) are in proportion or proportional.
6 12

 Ratio compares part to part whereas proportion compares part to whole.

 Proportion can be expressed in each of the following forms:


Frequency 9 out of 10
Ratio 9 : 10

52
Fraction 9
10
Rate 0.9
Percentage 90%

 Examples:
1) Ingredients to make Milo drink:
1 cup of Milo 5 cups of Milo

2 teaspoons Milo powder 10 teaspoons Milo powder


1 teaspoon creamer 5 teaspoons creamer
1 cup of water 5 cups of water

The ratio of Milo powder The ratio of creamer


1 cup : 5 cups 1 cup : 5 cups
2 teaspoons : 10 teaspoons 1 teaspoons : 5 teaspoons
= 2 : 10
= 1:5 = 1:5

2:10 and 1:5 are equivalent ratios.

We say that the ratio of Milo powder is proportional to the ratio of creamer.

a) 4 bags to 8 purses
b) 5 bags to10 purses
5) Are 1 : 2 and 5 : 10 in proportion?
Use cross multiplication,
1 5
=
2 10

1 5
×2 ×10= ×2 ×10
2 10
10=10
Hence 1 : 2 is proportional to 5 : 10 since their cross multiplication is equal.

6) Are 4 : 3 and 16 : 13 in proportion?

53
Use cross multiplication,
4 16
=
3 13

4 16
×3 ×13= ×3 × 13
3 13
52 ≠ 48
Hence 4 : 3 is not proportional to 6 : 13 since their cross multiplication is not equal.
3 9
7) Do the ratios and form a proportion?
2 6
8) 3:5 and 12:20 are equal ratios?

 To simplify a ratio means to reduce it to its smallest, simplest, terms. 

 Examples:
1) Simplify the ratio 25 : 40
2) Simplify the ratio 12 : 6 : 60

their favourite colour was blue while 5 students preferred red. Meanwhile, in 7C, 12 students
said their favourite colour was blue while 10 students preferred red. Which class has a higher
ratio of students who preferred blue to students who preferred red?

2) 2 apples cost $2.20. Find the cost of 5 apples.

2 apples --------------------- $2.20


4 apples --------------------- $2.20 x 2 (double) = $4.40

2 apples --------------------- $2.20


1 apple --------------------- $ 2.20 ÷2 (half) = $1.10

Cost of 5 apples = Cost of 4 apples + Cost of 1 apple


= $4.40 + $1.10
= $5.50

3) Is 6 for $0.85 better than 8 for $1.00?

55
SCALE
 A SCALE DRAWING is a diagram/map/model of an object that is too large or too small to draw.
The dimensions are proportional to the actual dimensions (distances) of the real-life example.
*Maps, blue prints, floor models are some examples.

The SCALE on a scale drawing is the ratio of the drawing lengths or model to its
corresponding actual lengths.

“1 cm : 5 m” means that 1 cm in the model represents an


actual distance of 5 m.

“Scale” dimensions in the scale drawing.

 Example: On the blueprint of the pool, each square has a side length of 0.2cm. What is the actual
width of the pool?

Scale 0.2 cm = 2 m

 It is not always possible to draw the actual size of real-life objects such as the real size of a car, an
airplane or a house on paper. That is why we need scale drawings.

In real-life, the length of this house may measure 900 centimeters. The length of an A4 paper is about
30 centimeters.

900
=30, therefore we will need about 30 sheets of A4 papers to draw the length of the actual size of
30
the house.

56
In order to use just 1 sheet of A4 paper, we could use 1 centimeter on our drawing to represent 30
centimeters on the real-life object.

1
We can write this situation as 1 : 30 or or 1 to 30.
30

Note: The first number always refers to the length of the drawing on paper and the second
number refers to the length of the real-life object.

 Example: The length of a car is drawn to scale of 1 : 40. The length of car on paper is 12 cm long.
Calculate the actual length of the car.
1 cm on paper = 40 cm in real life
2 cm on paper = 2 x 40 = 80 cm in real life (double of 1 cm)
12 cm on paper = 6 x 80 cm = 480 cm in real life (6 times 2 cm)

RATE
 Rate is how much of something per 1 unit of something else.
Examples: 
a. 1000 cars pass by in 4 hours.
1000 cars = 4 hours
1000
= 1 hour
4
The unit rate is 250 cars per hour.
b. 100 packets of Nasi Katok were eaten by 50 people. The unit rate is 2 packets of Nasi Katok
per person.
c. The car can go 1000 km on 50 liters of fuel. The unit rate is 20 km per liter.
d. There are 120 students and 4 teachers. The unit rate is 30 students per teacher.
e. In the last 4 weeks Sam earned $4000. The unit rate is $1000 per week.
 Examples:
1. The table shows the parking rates at a car park.

Every additional km or part thereof 80 cents

(a) Calculate the total fare, in dollars, for the journey of


(i) 8 km,
(ii) 24 km.
(b) Find the length of the journey for which the fare was $16.
2. Last week I paid $5.30 for 2 kg of durians.

7. What percent of 1 hour is 15 minutes?
 Examples:
1. Calculate 40% of 35 kg
10% of 35 = 3.5
20% of 35 = 3.5 x 2 = 7
40% of 35 = 3.5 x 4 or 7 x 2 = 14 kg
2. 20% of a number is 40. What is the number?
20% of the number = 40
40% of the number = 40 x 2 = 80
100% of the number = 40 x 5 = 200
3. The monthly budget for the front of the house is $5000. My mother spent 10% of the budget
on fresh flowers. How much did she spend on fresh flowers?
100% of $5000 = $5000
10% of $5000 = $5000÷ 10 = $500
4. Out of 1200 students in a school, only 85% passed. Find how many students failed.
% of students who failed = 100% - 85% = 25%
100% of 1200 students = 1200 students
50% of 1200 students = 1200÷ 2 = 600 students
25% of 1200 students = 600 ÷ 2 = 300 students failed

 Randomly provide 2 – 4 circular discs to each pair of students.
 Give instructions to guide investigation:
- Measure the radius of each circle. Record your measurement.
- Wind the string around the disc and measure the length of string which goes one full
circle around the disc. Record your measurement in the column called circumference.
- Complete the column diameter.
- Use your calculator to compute the ratio C/d and record it in the table.
- What do you observe in the results under the column? How are C and d related?
a) Consolidate all students’ findings and introduce this ratio as π (pi). Guide students to derive
the formula: C = π x d, where d = diameter.
b) Explain that C = 2πr, where r = radius, since d = 2r.
c) Apply the relationship to find the circumferences of two more circles.

Solve problems involving circumference, diameter and radii of circles.

Examples:
1. The diameter of a circle is 14 cm. What is the length of its radius?
2. Calculate the perimeter of a circle with radius 5 cm. Give your answers in terms of π.
3. The circumference of a circle is 44 cm. What is the length of its radius?

Nets of cuboids, triangular prisms, regular tetrahedra, square-based.

 Guide students to derive the formula of volume of a cuboid:

Volume of cuboid = l x b x h
=bxhxl
= area of cross section x length

SYMMETRY & TRANSFORMATIONS
 Give general ideas about the topic ‘TRANSFORMATION’ by showing examples of reflection,
rotation and translation.
 Discuss the significance of using transformations in designing works (Escher patterns and Islamic
geometrical patterns).
Symmetry
 Review the idea of line symmetry through paper folding of cut-outs of any shapes and using a
plane mirror to show the mirror image of an object.
 Explain line symmetry of figures and introduce the term ‘axis of symmetry’ or ‘line of symmetry’.
 Line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, reflection symmetry, is symmetry with
respect to reflection.
 Guide students to draw the line of symmetry of a given figure and to complete a symmetrical
figure drawing.
Reflection
Examples of practical activity:
 Stand a plane mirror in front of an object to introduce the idea of reflection. Position the mirror
behind a picture lying on a table top and ask students to observe the image of the picture in it.
 Show pictures which illustrate objects and images and their mirror lines.
 Explain the terms ‘object’ and ‘image’ with reference to the pictures and the mirror
demonstrations.
 Emphasise that in any reflection, there is a ‘mirror line’ which separate the object from the
image. Guide students to identify the mirror lines in such pictures and drawings.
 Guide students to recognise that the perpendicular distance of the image point from the
mirror line (or axis of reflection) is equal to the perpendicular distance of the object point
from the mirror line.
 Guide students to perform reflection on given figures in given (i) vertical mirror lines, (ii)
horizontal mirror lines and (iii) diagonal lines (450 to the horizontal).

 Provide practices on drawing the reflection images of given figures on a coordinate grid (all
four quadrants).

 Guide students to note the invariant properties (angles and sides) of an object and its image
under a reflection. Such properties will be used to check accuracy of images and will not be
applied in problems.

Examples:
1) Reflect the figure A in the given mirror line and label the image as figure B. [Discuss the
technique to draw the image.]

76
2) The diagram shows quadrilateral PQRS on a grid. MN is the axis of reflection. Draw its
image P1 Q 1 R1 S 1.

3) The diagram shows quadrilateral PQRS. It is reflected in the line MN. Draw its image
P1 Q1 R1 S 1.

Rotational symmetry
 Introduce the idea of rotational symmetry using different figures.

 Show a cut out figure with a pin and rotate it about the pin.

 Emphasise that there must be a centre of rotation in a figure with rotational symmetry.
Rotation
 Examples:
Rotate the shapes 90° and 180° clockwise/anti-clockwise about the point A.

77
Translation
 Introduce the first idea of translation by shifting
a piece on a chess board in a specified direction.

Examples:
1) Shifting a queen 2 steps to the right
2) Shifting a pawn 1 step forward
3) Shifting a knight 3 steps to the left and 2 steps forward

 Demonstrate the translation of a given figure drawn in a coordinate plane point (object point) by
a specified number of steps horizontally and vertically in the coordinate plane. Label the image
(image point)
Examples:
1) Translate the Figure A by a shift of “5 steps to the left and 2 steps up”. Label the image as
Figure B.

2) Translate triangle PQR 6 units to the left and 4 units up. Draw and label the image P 1 Q1 R1.

3) Translate kite TUVW 5 units down and 8 units to the left. Draw and label the image
T 1 U 1 V 1 W 1.

 Guide students to note the invariant properties (angles and sides) of an object and its image
under a translation. Such properties will be used to check accuracy of images and will not be
applied in problems.

PLANE & SOLID SHAPES
 Demonstrate rotation using a hand-held fan and discuss the need to use special units to measure
the amount of turn of the edge of the fan about a fixed center (pivot).

Protractor
Hand-held fan

 Show a protractor to illustrate that a half turn is measured as 180 degrees (denoted as 180 0).
Hence one complete rotation is measured as 360 degrees.

 Discuss the sizes of angles associated with quarter-turn (90 0), half-turn (1800), three quarter-turn
(2700), and complete turn (3600).

quarter-turn half-turn three quarter-turn complete turn


(900) (1800) (2700) (3600).

¿
 Use the proper symbols in naming angles, e.g., ABC, x and ABC and for right angle.

Types of angles
 Review different types of angles: acute (less than 900), right (900), obtuse (more than 900 but less
than 1800) and reflex (more than 1800). Show relationship between an acute angle and its
corresponding reflex angle (see diagram below).

 Emphasise that the naming of a reflex angle must be preceded with the word ‘reflex’ as shown in
the diagram below.

Y XYZ
Reflex XYZ
Z
 Explain the use of inner scale and the outer scale in reading an angle. Show how the protractor
should be positioned so that accurate reading can be obtained.

 Guide students to use the protractor to measure ready angles in degrees and to draw angles of
specified magnitudes. Give sufficient practice to ensure all students are able to read the size of
any angle.

 Use the protractor or a corner of a rectangle (or the set-square) to determine if an angle is acute
or obtuse. Use the straight edge to determine if an angle is a straight angle (180 0), an obtuse or a
reflex angle.

79
Properties of Angles
 Introduce the meaning of two angles being complementary to one another if their sum = 900. Use
this property to find the other complementary angle of a given angle.

 Similarly introduce the meaning of supplementary angles. Use this property to find the
supplementary angle of a given angle.

 Show a line with several angles meeting at a point and with a sum of 180 degrees. Introduce the
term ‘adjacent angles on a straight line’. Emphasise that a few angles which sum up 180 0 will meet
at a point on a straight line. Use this property to find unknown angles on a straight line.

 Guide students to draw two intersecting lines and identify the pairs of vertically opposite angles.
Guide them to discover that vertically opposite angles are equal by measuring these angles with a
protractor.

 Give further practice on problems related to the above properties of angles.

 Investigation:
Provide each group with a set of cut-outs of angles with preset sizes totaling 3600, e.g. (1500, 1200,
900), (1000, 900, 700, 600, 400) [Please see the sample set shown below.]

Sample set: (1000, 900, 700, 600, 400)

1000 900 700 600 400

Angles at a point
Instruct students to:
 measure and label the size of each angle
 paste the angles (with vertices pointing to a fixed point)
 take note that all the given angles meet at one point and,
 conclude that angles at a point sum up to 3600.
 Guide students to mark a point on a plain paper and draw a few lines radiating from this point to
verify this property.
Measure all angles and then add them up to show that sum of angles at a point = 360 0.

Complementary and Supplementary angles

 Examples:
1) In the figure AOD is a straight line and angle AOC is a right angle. Find
3 angle BOC,
80
4 angle AOE.

2) In the figure, BOE and COF are straight lines, and angle AOB = angle BOC. Find a) angle EOF,
b) angle AOF.

Types of triangles
a) Explain the types of triangles: scalene, right-angled, isosceles and equilateral triangles.
Guide students to identify types of triangles:

b) Oral quizzes:
c) ‘I have 3 sides. I have two equal sides. What’s my name?’

d) ‘I have 3 sides. All my 3 angles are equal. What am I?’

e) Review that the sum of interior angles of a triangle and the angle property of exterior
angles through a demonstration as follows:

f) Construct a random triangle PQR on a plain paper. Extend the side along RP at corner P
(Diagram 1).

g) Duplicate the triangle PQR on a colour paper and cut up the three angles.(Diagram 2)

h) Arrange and paste cutout angles Q and R next to the corner P so that the three angles are
adjacent angles on a straight line. (Diagram 3)

This shows that:


i) Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 1800, and
j) Exterior angle = sum of interior opposite angles
