Study Notes
Units of Measurement
-
Length is a one-dimensional measurement of part of an object.
-
Distance is the space between objects.
-
The standard unit of length/distance in the Metric system is the metre.
-
Other common units include kilometre, centimetre, and millimetre.
- millimetre (mm)
- centimetre (cm)
- metre (m)
- kilometre (km)
-
Mass
- gram (g)
- kilogram (kg)
- tonne (t)
-
Volume/Capacity
- millilitre (ml)
- centilitre (cl)
- litre (l)
Perimeter
- Perimeter (P) is the distance around the outside of a two-dimensional, closed shape.
- Units must be the same when calculating perimeter.
- Sides with the same markings (dashes) are equal in length. These markings are called tick marks or hatch marks.
Composite Shapes
- A composite (or compound) shape is made of two or more basic shapes.
- It can be broken down into these basic shapes to make calculations easier.
Calculating Circle Measurements
- A circle represents points the same distance from a center point.
- Radius: Length from the center to the edge.
- Diameter: Distance across the center of the circle.
- Circumference: The circle's perimeter.
- Pi (π): A non-repeating decimal that relates diameter and circumference . Common approximations include: 3.14159 (to 5 decimal places) or 3.14 (to 2 decimal places) or 22/7.
Area
- Area describes the number of unit squares that fit inside a shape.
- Area can be calculated using formulas based on the shape's measurements.
- Centimetres: Area in cm²
- Metres: Area in m²
- Millimetres: Area in mm²
Basic Shapes
- Rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles can all have area calculated using two perpendicular dimensions.
- Rectangle: Area = Length x Width
- Parallelogram: Area = base x height
- Triangles: Area = (base x height)/2
3D Shapes (Solids)
- Three-dimensional shapes (3D shapes) are solids.
- They have length, width/depth, and height.
Pyramids
- Pyramids have triangular sides that meet at a vertex.
- The shape of the base gives the pyramid its name.
Prisms
- Prisms have rectangular sides, and the shape is the same throughout.
- Drawing 3D shapes can be done using isometric paper or grid paper.
- 2D representations of different views (side, front, top) can show the solid.
- A net is a complete 2D representation of the shape, showing all faces laid flat.
Volume
- Volume describes the amount of space a 3D shape occupies.
- Rectangular prism/cuboid: Volume = Length x Width x Height
- Triangular prism: Volume = (Area of triangular base x depth)
- Area of a triangle: Area = (base x height)/2
