1. Perpendicular Bisectors and Angle Bisectors

  • Use of compass: center, radius, pin leg, and drawing leg
  • To draw a circle
  • To mark off or copy a line segment
  • How to draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
  • Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from the two  end points of the segment.

2. Angle Bisectors

  • A ray AZ divides <BAC into two equal angles, <BAZ and <CAZ. The ray is called the angle bisector of <ABC
  • How to draw an angle bisector?
  • Any point on the angle bisector of an angle is equidistant from the two sides of the angle.

3. Class work

  • Construct/draw circles, triangles, angles, equal line segments
  • construct /draw perpendicular bisectors of line segments
  • construct/draw angle bisectors of angles

4. Classification of Triangles

  • The number of equal sides in the triangle: scalene triangle – no equal sides; isosceles triangle – two equal sides; equilateral triangles – three equal sides
  • The type of angles of the triangle: acute-angled triangle – all angles are acute; right-angled triangle – one of the angles is a right angle; obtuse-angled triangle – one of the angles is an obtuse angle
  • Is an equilateral triangle also an isosceles triangle?
  • Is it Possible to draw a triangle with more than one obtuse angle?
  • Can a scalene triangle be an acute-angled, right-angled or obtuse-angled triangle?
  • All the three angles in a scalene triangle are different size
  • The angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal
  • All the three angles in an equilateral triangle are equal in size

5. Quadrilaterals

  • A closed plane figure with four straight sides joined by four vertices is called a quadrilateral
  • Vertices, diagonals
  • Properties of special quadrilaterals
  • Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel and equal opposite sides
  • Rectangle: all angles are right angles
  • Rhombus: all sides are equal, diagonals are perpendicular to each other
  • Square: all sides are equal, all angles are right angles
  • Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel sides

1. Quiz about percentage

2. Discount

  • Discount = Marked price – Selling price
  • Percentage discount = ( Discount / Marked_price) x 100%
  • Selling price = (100% – Discount %) x Marked_price

3. Sales Tax and Income Tax

  • Tax = Tax_rate x Cost
  • Income_tax = Tax_rate x Income
  • Income: wage (hourly-paid), salary (annual basis)

4. Compound Discount

  • Each successive discount is based on the price after the previous discount

5. Points, Line and Planes

  • Point: has position; has no size
  • Line: has an infinite number of points; has no width; can be determined by two points; can be straight or curved
  • Ray: a part of a line with one endpoint
  • Endpoint
  • Line segment: a part of a line between two end points; has length
  • Plane: a flat surface; has no thickness
  • Parallel lines: two lines on the same plane do not intersect (meet or cut)
  • Perpendicular (lines) to each other: two lines intersect at right angle
  • Foot of the perpendicular

6. Types of angles

  • Acute angle: angle < 90 degree
  • Right angle: angle = 90 degree
  • Obtuse angle: 90 degree < angle < 180 degree
  • Reflex angle: 180 degree < angle < 360 degree

7. Complementary, supplementary, and adjacent angles

  • Complementary angles: the sum of two angles is 90 degree
  • Supplementary angles: the sum of two angels is 180 degree
  • Adjacent angles: two angles share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap

8. Properties of Angles

  • The sum of adjacent angles on a straight line is 180 degree
  • The sum of all angles at a point is 360 degree
  • Vertically opposite angles: when two lines intersect, the vertically opposite angles are equal

1. Reverse Percentage

  • In a box, 15% of the balls are green. If there are 54 green balls, find the number of balls in the box.
  • In the library, the fine for not returning a book on loan is 125% of the price of the book. If the fine for a book that was not returned was $90, find the price of the book.

2. Percentage increase

  • Increase = Increased_value ( End_value, or New_value) – Original_value
  • Percentage increase = ( IncreaseOriginal_value) x 100%
  • Increased_value = (100% + Increase %) x Original_value

3. Percentage decrease

  • Decrease = Original_value – Decreased_value ( End_value, or New_value)
  • Percentage decrease = (Decrease / Original_value) x 100%
  • Decreased_value = (100% – Decrease %) x Original_value

1. Percentage: a percentage is a fraction with 100 as the denominator

  • Meaning of percentage: “per cent” means “by the hundred” or divided by one hundred. The term “percentage” is derived from the Latin per centum, meaning “per hundred”.

38% = 38/100 = 0.38

100% = 100/100 = 1

0% = 0/100 = 0

  • Decimals, percentages and fractions and how to express a number in each form
  • Express one quantity as a percentage of another
  • Compare quantities using percentage
  • Word problems involving percentage
