Triangles are three sided polygons. One of the most interesting things about triangles is that if you sum up the three angles within any triangle, they will always total 180 degrees. This comes in handy when working on geometry problems. There are several types of triangles. Some triangles can be described by their sides, like… Continue reading Triangles

Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals are four sided polygons. Some quadrilaterals are probably quite familiar to you like squares and rectangles. A unique property of quadrilaterals is that the sum of all their interior angles always totals 360 degrees. Types of quadrilaterals: Rectangle : A rectangle is a quadrilateral where all four angles are 90 degrees. A square is… Continue reading Quadrilaterals
Polygons
A polygon is a flat figure that is made up of straight lines and is enclosed. A few notes on the definition of a polygon that hopefully will help you remember: Flat – this means it’s a plane figure or two-dimensional Straight lines – these are called segments in geometry Enclosed – all the lines… Continue reading Polygons
Circle Geometry
Skills needed: Multiplication Basic Geometry A circle is an important shape in geometry. There are circles all around us in the real world. We can learn a lot about the real world and how it works by understanding circles. First, what is the official definition of a circle? A circle is a shape that is… Continue reading Circle Geometry
Examples
Example 1: Liza has 2 puppies. He bought 8 chewable bones to feed them both equally. How many bones will each puppy get? Solution: Number of Puppies = 2. Number of bones = 8. Number of bones for each puppy = 8/2 = 4. Therefore, each puppy will get 4 bones. Example 2: Eva’s mother… Continue reading Examples
FAQs on Division
What is Division in Math? In maths, we have four basic arithmetic operations i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Amongst these four operations, the division is one of the major operations we use in our daily activities. It is the process of splitting a large group into equal smaller groups. For example, divide 25 by… Continue reading FAQs on Division
Special Cases
Special Cases : Given below are three special cases of division. Any number is divided by 1(the quotient equals the dividend), gives the answer the same as the dividend. For examples: 10 ÷ 1 = 10 A number cannot be divided by 0 and the result is thus undefined. Example: 60 ÷ 0 = undefined… Continue reading Special Cases
Division and Remainders
Division and Remainders : Sometimes when dividing there is something left over. It is called the remainder. Example: There are 7 bones to share with 2 pups. But 7 cannot be divided exactly into 2 groups,so each pup gets 3 bones,and there is 1 left over: We say: “7 divided by 2 equals 3 with a remainder of 1“ And we write: 7 ÷… Continue reading Division and Remainders
Long Division
Long Division Below is the process written out in full.You will often see other versions, which are generally just a shortened version of the process below. Let’s see how it is done with: the number to be divided into is called the dividend The number which divides the other number is called the divisor And here we… Continue reading Long Division
Multiplying Decimals
Multiplying Decimals : Multiplying decimals is very important when we talk about the grouping of items. Suppose you have to distribute 0.25 part of a chocolate bar to each child and there is a total of 12 children. How many chocolate bars would you need? To find the number of chocolate bars required, we have… Continue reading Multiplying Decimals
