Calculation checks

Whole numbers are numbers to the left of the decimal point.

When writing a number correct to the nearest whole number you must look at the firstnumber after the decimal point.

If the first number after the decimal point is 5 or more (ie 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) then thewhole number increases by 1.

If the first number after the decimal point is 4 or less (ie 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4) then the wholenumber stays the same.

376.824 written to the nearest whole number is 377.428.374 written to the nearest whole number is 428.

Question

Estimate the total amount of money:£3128 + £6280 +£5972 + £5310 + £8089 _________

AnswerIf the question asks for an estimate you must approximate each number. You must show all of your working.

£3128 is approximately £3000

£6280 is approximately £6000

£5972 is approximately £6000

£5310 is approximately £5000

£8089 is approximately £8000

Total £28 000

You must not add the numbers with a calculator and then approximate that answer. Look what happens:£3128 + £6280 +£5972 + £5310 + £8089 = £28 779

£28 779 is approximately £29 000

If you write the answer £29 000 without working you will obtain no marks.

The soldiers problem

Two soldiers needed to cross a river. The river was too dangerous to swim and therewas no bridge. Nearby, two small girls were rowing a small boat. The soldiers asked ifthey could borrow the boat. The girls agreed, but explained that the boat was so smallthat it could only carry one adult or two children.

Explain how the two soldiers and two girls reached the other side of the river. Use apencil on the diagrams, then if you make a mistake you can rub it out.

Now investigate what happens if there are 3 soldiers, 4 soldiers, 5 soldiers, etc.

What do you notice about the number of moves? How do they increase?

Can you find a rule?

Congruent shapes

If two shapes are identical then they are congruent.Look at these two rectangles:

The rectangles have the same length and breadth.Therefore the shapes are congruent.

Shapes are congruent if one shape can be cut out and fitted exactly onto the othershape. An easy way to check is to use tracing paper. Trace the first shape, and see if itwill fit exactly onto the other shape. You can turn the shape or flip the shape.

These triangles are congruent.If you flip the left triangle it will fit onto the other triangle exactly.

Question

Here are four shapes. Which two are congruent? _______________

AnswerA and D are congruent. (If you trace shape A you will find that it fits onto shape D exactly.)

Rotational symmetry

A shape has rotational symmetry if it fits exactly onto its original outline more than oncein a complete turn. The number of times that it fits is called the order of rotationalsymmetry. If a shape only fits onto itself once we say that it has no rotational symmetry,or that it has order 1.

X marks the centre of rotation.

To find the centre of rotation: If a shape has an even number of sides, join oppositecorners. If a shape has an odd number of sides, join each corner to the centre of theopposite side.

Question

What is the order of rotational symmetry of this regular octagon? ____________

Mark the centre of rotational symmetry.

AnswerMake a tracing of the octagon. Turn the tracing through one complete turn ie 360°. It fits the original octagon exactly 8 times. Therefore the order of rotational symmetry is 8.

Reflection

The image you see in a mirror is a reflection. The image is exactly the same but it hasbeen flipped over.

Note: The object and the image are equal distances from the mirror line.

How to use tracing paper to reflect an object

Question

Draw the reflection of the triangle.

Answer

If you do not have a mirror, check your answer using the display on your calculator. Tilt the calculatortoward the object and place on the mirror line (the same way you would use a mirror). Look into the answerdisplay to see where the image should be. Remove the calculator and check your drawn image is in thesame place.
