Fill in this sentence: The Fi___a__i sequence often appears in n_t__e
The Fibonacci sequences often appears in nature.
Finish this sentence: Pas___s tr______e is a se___nc_ that is commonly used.
Pascal’s triangle is a sequence that is commonly used.
Is 15 a triangular number?
Yes.
How do you square a number?
Multiply it by itself. Eg. 4 squared (shown as a small two above a number) is 16 because 4x4=16
Is 64 a square number?
Yes because 8x8=64.
What are the four triangular numbers below 10?
0,1,3 and 6.
What is the third square number?
9 because 3x3=9.
What’s the tenth square number?
100 because 10x10=100.
What is the second triangular number?
Three.
What is area?
The space inside of a 2D shape.
What is volume?
The inside space of a 3D shape.
What is the area of a square if one side is 10cm?
100cm2
What is perimeter?
The outside of a 2D shape- a bit like a fence.
What is surface area?
Don’t be tricked- it isn’t the area of a 3D shape, it’s sort of like the perimeter. It’s measuring the parts you can touch (3D shapes only).
Why does the formula lw solve for?
The area of a rectangle and parallelogram.
How do you find the area of a rectangle?
Lw
What does lw mean?
It is algebra for length x width.
How do you solve the area of a triangle?
1/2 x h x b
What does 1/2 x h x b solve?
The area of a triangle.
What do you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to remember when finding the area of something?
It’s not just the height. It HAS to be perpendicular to the base
What does 1/2 x h x b mean?
The perpendicular height x base halved.
How do you calculate the area of a parallelogram?
It’s the same as a rectangle, lw or in other words, bh ( base x height ).
How do you calculate the area of a trapezium?
(a+b) x h x 1/2
Why do you use that particular formula to work out the area of a trapezium?
Because when you do a+b, you are essentially doubling the trapezium to make a parallelogram. Because you only need to do b x h for parallelogram, you’ve already got your base (a+b) x the height (whatever it says it is). Then because you doubled it before, half it.
What can you use (a+b) x h x 1/2 to calculate the area of?
A trapezium.
