Line of symmetry
When a figure is folded along a line such a way that the two parts exactly fit on top of each other, then the figure is said to have a line symmetry.

Line of symmetry is the line which divides figure into two identical parts and these are mirror image of each others.
Sometimes human face can also show line of symmetry. But this is not applicable in all cases.
Sometimes, line of symmetry is neither vertical nor horizontal. The following figure shows line of  symmetry but its not vertical or horizontal.
The dotted lines below are not lines of symmetry though they may cut the figures in halves, they don't create two exactly same parts.
Alphabets words and numbers showing line of symmetry
Some alphabets posses vertical line of symmetry while some shows horizontal line of symmetry.
The following alphabets  show both vertical as well as horizontal lines of symmetry.
The alphabet O has infinite number of lines of symmetry.
The following alphabets doesn’t show any type of symmetry.
F G J L N P Q R S Z
There are few words  which also shows line of symmetry. 
Some of the numbers also shows line of symmetry.
Geometric shapes which show one line of symmetry

Angle
An angle bisector is the only line of symmetry for a given angle.
Isosceles triangle
The line containing the bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is only line of symmetry for such a triangle.
Trapezium
The perpendicular bisector of the parallel sides of an isosceles trapezium is the only line of symmetry.
Kite
The line containing the ends of a kite is the only line of symmetry for a kite. It bisects the angles at the ends of the kite.
Semicircle
A semicircle has only one line of symmetry.
There are few geometric shapes which doesn’t show any line of symmetry.
Geometric shapes which show two line of symmetry

Rectangle
Both perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a rectangle are lines of symmetry.

Ellipse
The major and minor axis of ellipse are lines of symmetry.

Rhombus
Both the bisectors of the angles  of a rhombus  are lines of symmetry.

More figures with two lines of symmetry
Geometric shapes which show multiple line of symmetry

Circle
The circle shows infinite line of symmetry.
Regular polygons
Regular (Equilateral) triangle has 3 lines of symmetry.
Regular quadrilateral (square) has 4 lines of symmetry.
Regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry
Regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry.
Regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry.
From above we can conclude that the number lines of symmetry for a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides of the regular polygon.

Reflection and Symmetry
A reflection can be seen in mirror or water or any shine surface. Observe the following beautiful picture. We can see the reflection of the mountain, trees and clouds in water.
When we keep any object in front of the mirror we see the image of that object in the other side of the mirror. This image is known as reflection of that object and it is symmetrical in nature. Here the mirror line acts as a line of symmetry.

Any object and its reflection have same size, shape and but its orientation will be different from the object.

Case 1: Object is in contact with the mirror.
Case 2: Object is slightly away from the mirror.
Check whether following figures are reflections of each other?
In 1st  example, the image looks exactly same as object. i.e its shape and size. But the reflected image should have opposite orientation as compared to the object. So this is not a reflection.
In the 2nd example, shape and size of the reflected image is exactly same as the object but its orientation is opposite as compared to the object. Hence this is a reflection.

Applications of symmetry
We can use the concept of symmetry to complete the pattern. See the following example. Here we have to observe the symmetrical pattern on the left and then we can complete the pattern on the right.
Kaleidoscope
It is a cylindrical shaped device with mirrors containing different colored objects like pebbles and pieces of glass. When we view from one end, light entering the other side creates a colourful pattern, due to the reflection of the mirrors.  We can see the following types of patterns.
Rangoli design
Rangoli can be created with the help of symmetry.             

While drawing rangoli, initially we draw some design and then we keep drawing the mirror image of earlier design. In this way the whole rangoli design is created.

Introduction
Data is a collection of numbers gathered to give some information.  To get particular information from the given data quickly, the data has to be organized first.

The organization of data can be done in various ways. One way to organize data is by using tally marks. Tally marks are a way of expressing numbers in groups of 5. The numbers are represented as follows:
Another way of organizing data is through the use of pictographs. A pictograph represents data through pictures of objects. It helps answer the questions on the data at a glance. For e.g. the following table shows the no of apples sold by a vendor during a week:
Maximum number of apples were sold on Monday that is, 50 apples since there are 5 pictures. On Wednesday, no apples were sold as there is no picture.
The following examples illustrate the use of above methods:

Problem: Following is the choice of sweets of 30 students of Class VI.
Ladoo, Barfi, Ladoo, Jalebi, Ladoo, Rasgulla, Jalebi, Ladoo, Barfi, Rasgulla, Ladoo, Jalebi, Jalebi, Rasgulla, Ladoo, Rasgulla, Jalebi, Ladoo, Rasgulla, Ladoo, Ladoo, Barfi, Rasgulla, Rasgulla, Jalebi, Rasgulla, Ladoo, Rasgulla, Jalebi, Ladoo.
  • Arrange the names of sweets in a table using tally marks.
  • Which sweet is preferred by most of the students?
Ladoo is most preferred by people as 11 people prefer it.

Problem: The number of girl students in each class of a co-educational middle school is depicted by the pictograph:
Observe this pictograph and answer the following questions:
(a) Which class has the minimum number of girl students?
(b) Is the number of girls in Class VI less than the number of girls in Class V?
(c) How many girls are there in Class VII?

Solution:
Class 8 has minimum number of girls. It has more than 4 but less than 8 girls.
No, class 6 has 16 girls (4×4) while class 5 has less than 16.
Class 7 is represented by 3 pictures. Thus, it has 3×4 = 12 girls.

BAR GRAPH
Bar graphs are the pictorial representation of data (generally grouped), in the form of vertical or horizontal rectangular bars, where the length of bars are proportional to the measure of data. They are also known as bar charts. Bar graphs are one of the means of data handling in statistics.
The collection, presentation, analysis, organization, and interpretation of observations of data are known as statistics. The statistical data can be represented by various methods such as tables, bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, frequency polygons, etc. In this article, let us discuss what is a bar chart, different types of bar graphs, uses, and solved examples.

What is Bar Graph?
The pictorial representation of grouped data, in the form of vertical or horizontal rectangular bars, where the lengths of the bars are equivalent to the measure of data, are known as bar graphs or bar charts.
The bars drawn are of uniform width, and the variable quantity is represented on one of the axes. Also, the measure of the variable is depicted on the other axes. The heights or the lengths of the bars denote the value of the variable, and these graphs are also used to compare certain quantities. The frequency distribution tables can be easily represented using bar charts which simplify the calculations and understanding of data.

The three major attributes of bar graphs are:

  • The bar graph helps to compare the different sets of data among different groups easily.
  • It shows the relationship using two axes, in which the categories on one axis and the discrete values on the other axis.
  • The graph shows the major changes in data over time.
Drawing a Bar Graph
To draw a bar graph, first of all draw a horizontal line and a vertical line. On the

Horizontal line we will draw bars representing the data (numbers) and on vertical line we will write numerals .which shows what data is being represented.

Same data can also be represented by interchanging the items on horizontal and vertical axis.
It is important to take bars of same width keeping uniform gap between them. Next, a scale is chosen if needed. The scale varies according to the data given.
Following problems explain how a bar graph is drawn:

Problem: The number of Mathematics books sold by a shopkeeper on six consecutive days is shown below:
Draw a bar graph to represent the above information choosing the scale of your choice.
Solution:
To draw a bar graph, days are taken on horizontal axis and the number of books sold is taken on the vertical axis.
The scale taken for representing this data is 1 unit length = 5 shirts. This scale is taken along the vertical line since the number of books is marked on the y axis.
The height of the bars for various days is:
Problem: Observe this bar graph which shows the marks obtained by Aziz in half-yearly examination in different subjects. Answer the given questions.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 9 Exercise 9.3 - 3
(a) What information does the bar graph give?
(b) Name the subject in which Aziz scored maximum marks.
(c) Name the subject in which he has scored minimum marks.
(d) State the name of the subjects and marks obtained in each of them.

Solutions:
(a) The bar graph shows the marks scored by Aziz in different subjects.
(b) Aziz scored maximum marks in Hindi i.e 80 marks
(c) Aziz scored minimum marks in Social Studies i.e 40 marks
(d) Hindi – 80 marks English – 60 marks Mathematics – 70 marks

Science – 50 marks Social Studies – 40 marks

Problem: Following table shows the number of bicycles manufactured in a factory during the years 1998 to 2002. Illustrate this data using a bar graph. Choose a scale of your choice.
(a) In which year were the maximum number of bicycles manufactured?
(b) In which year were the minimum number of bicycles manufactured?

Solutions:
By taking a scale of 1 unit length = 100 bicycles we may draw a bar graph of above data as follows.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 9 Exercise 9.4 - 3
(a) In the year 2002, maximum number of bicycles were manufactured i.e 1200 bicycles
(b) In the year 1999, minimum number of bicycles were manufactured i.e 600 bicycles.

Decimals
When we use dots to write some numbers then that dot is the decimal point. This is used to show the part of a whole number.
Decimals
Tenths
As we know that 1 cm = 10 mm, so if we have to find the opposite then
1mm = 1/10 cm or one-tenth cm or 0.1 cm.
Hence, the first number after the decimal represents the tenth part of the whole
Tenths
This reads as “thirty-four point seven”.

Representation of Decimals on Number Line
To represent decimals on the number line we have to divide the gap of each number into 10 equal parts as the decimal shows the tenth part of the number.

Example
Show 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8 on the number line.

Solution
All the three numbers are greater than 0 and less than 1.so we have to make a number line with 0 and 1 and divide the gap into 10 equal parts.

Then mark as shown below.
Representation of Decimals on Number Line
Fractions as Decimals
It is easy to write the fractions with 10 as the denominator in decimal form but if the denominator is not 10 then we have to find the equivalent fraction with denominator 10.

Example
Convert 12/5 and 3/2 in decimal form.

Solution
Decimals as Fractions
Example
Write 2.5 in a fraction.

Solution
Hundredths
As we know that 1 m = 100 cm, so if we have to find the opposite then
1 cm = 1/100 m or one-hundredth m or 0.01 m.
Hence, the second numbers after the decimal represent the hundredth part of the whole.
Hundredths
It reads as “thirteen point nine five”.

Decimal in the hundredth form shows that we have divided the number into hundred equal parts.

Example
If we say that 25 out of 100 squares are shaded then how will we write it in fraction and decimal form?
Squares
Solution
25 is a part of 100, so the fraction will be 25/100.
In the decimal form we will write it as 0.25.

Place Value Chart
This is the place value chart which tells the place value of each digit in the decimal number. It makes it easy to write numbers in decimal form.
Place Value Chart
Example
With the given place value chart write the number in the decimal form.
Solution
According to the above table-
Comparing Decimals
1. If the whole number is different.
If the whole numbers of the decimals are different then we can easily compare them .the number with the greater whole number will be greater than the other.

Example
Compare 532.48 and 682.26.

Solution:
As the whole numbers are different, so we can easily find that the number with a greater whole number is greater.

Hence 682.26 > 532.48
Compare 532.48 and 682.26.
2. If the whole number is the same
If the whole numbers of the decimals are same then we will compare the tenth and then the hundredth part if required.

The number with the greater tenth number is greater than the other.

Example
Compare 42.36 and 42.68.

Solution
As the whole number is the same in both the numbers so we have to compare the tenth part.

Hence 42.68 > 42.36
Compare 42.36 and 42.68.
Using Decimals
Generally, decimals are used in money, length and weight.

1. Money
Example: 1
Write 25 paise in decimals.

Solution:
100 paise = 1 Rs.
1 paise = 1/100 Rs. = 0.01 Rs.
25 paise = 25/100 Rs. = 0.25 Rs.

Example: 2
Write 7 rupees and 35 paise in decimals.

Solution:
7 rupees is the whole number, so
7 + 35/100 = 7 + 0.35 = 7.35 Rs.

2. Length
Example
If the height of Rani is 175 cm then what will be her height in meters?

Solution
100 cm = 1 m
1 cm = 1/100 m = 0.01 m
175 cm = 175/100 m
Hence, the height of Rani is 1.75 m.

3. Weight
Example
If the weight of a rice box is 4725 gram then what will be its weight in a kilogram?

Solution
1000 gm = 1 kg
1 gm = 1/1000 kg = 0.001 kg
Addition of Decimal numbers
To add the decimal numbers we can add them as whole numbers but the decimal will remain at the same place as it was in the given numbers. It means that we have to line up the decimal point in each number while writing them, and then add them as a whole number.

Example: 1
Add 22.3 and 34.1

Solution:
Write the numbers as given below, and then add them.
Add 22.3 and 34.1
Example: 2
Add 1.234 and 4.1.

Solution:
There are three numbers after decimal in one number and one number after decimal in another number. So we should not get confused and write the numbers by lining up the decimal points of both the numbers, then add them.

Subtraction of Decimal Numbers
Subtraction is also done as normal whole numbers after lining up the decimals of the given number.

Example
Subtract 243.86 from 402.10.

Solution

  • Write the numbers in a line so that the decimal points of both the numbers lined up.

  • Then subtract and borrow as we do in whole numbers.

  • Line up the decimal point in the answer also.

In this section, we shall study the Perimeter and Area for class 6th of plane figures. The Perimeter of the plane figures is the measure related to its Boundary and the Area of the plane figures is the measure related to its region or surface occupied by it.

What are plane figures?
Plane figures are two-dimensional figures which are drawn on the plane surface.

Open Figures
In the open figures, the starting point and the ending point of the figure are not at the same point. The figures in which the starting point and the ending point are not joined, are called open figures.
Starting point – A, Ending point – B

Closed Figures
In the closed figures, the starting point and the ending point of the figure are at the same point. The figures in which the starting point and the ending point are joined, are called closed figures.
PERIMETER AND AREA CLASS 6TH
Starting point – A, Ending point – B

What is Perimeter?
Perimeter is the complete measurement of the boundary of the closed figures. The Perimeter of the closed figures can be found but not of the open figures.
PERIMETER AND AREA CLASS 6TH
In the above figures, to calculate the perimeter we start from point A and complete measurement is from point A to point A.

For figure (1), Perimeter = AB + BC + CA
For figure (2), Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
For figure (3), Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA

The Perimeter of Irregular Shapes
Irregular shapes are the figures that have all the sides and all the angles of different measures. Such types of figures are called irregular closed figures. The Perimeter of irregular shapes is the total of all sides. Let’s understand with examples.

Example – find the perimeter of the figures given below.
Solution –
Perimeter of figure (1) = AB + BC + CD + DE + EA
= 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 4 cm
= 20 cm          Ans.
Perimeter of figure (2) = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FA
= 4 cm + 6 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 4 cm + 3 cm
= 25 cm           Ans.

The Perimeter of Regular Shapes
The figures that have all the sides and all the angles of the same measure are called Regular shapes. These types of figures are called Regular closed figures. For regular shapes, we can find the perimeter by multiplying the number of sides to the measure of each side. We can understand it by the example solved below.

Example – Find the perimeter of the figures given below.
Solution –
In figure (1), all the three sides of the triangle are equal it means this triangle is an equilateral triangle
Therefore, The Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle = 3×Side
3×5 cm = 15 cm           Ans.
In figure (2), all the four sides are equal so it is a square.
Therefore, The Perimeter of Square = 4×Side
= 4×6 cm = 24 cm           Ans.

Note – We can make a general formula to find the perimeter of a regular shape.
The perimeter of a Regular shape = Number of sides × Measure of each side
The Perimeter of a Rectangle

We know that in a rectangle, there are four sides and the opposite sides are equal. So how can we find the perimeter of a rectangle? Let’s see.
PERIMETER AND AREA CLASS 6TH
The above figure is a rectangle ABCD. Opposite sides will be equal so AB = CD and BC = AD.
Now, perimeter of rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + DA
= AB + BC + AB + BC [∵ AB = CD and BC = AD]
= 2AB + 2BC
= 2(AB + BC)
Here, AB = Length of the rectangle and BC = Breadth of the rectangle.
So, we can write as the formula, Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
It means if we have to find the perimeter of a rectangle, we have to add length and breadth and then multiply by 2.
Example – Find the perimeter of the rectangle given below.
Solution – Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
= 2(6 cm + 3 cm)
2(9 cm)
18 cm           Ans.
Note – 1) Perimeter is a type of Distance so the unit of the perimeter is a length unit.
2) Larger the figures have a larger perimeter.

What is Area?
When we draw a closed figure, the figure covers the region which is enclosed by that. That region is known as the Area of the figure. Here are some closed figures.
PERIMETER AND AREA CLASS 6TH
All the above figures cover some amount of surface. We can see that the figure which is larger, is covering more amount of the surface. Sometimes we can’t say which figure has more area. In this condition, we use squared paper or graph paper to calculate the area. Let’s take an example.
PERIMETER AND AREA CLASS 6TH
In the squared paper, each side of every square is of the measure 1 cm. to calculate the area on squared paper, we have to keep notice some rules.
  1. The square which is completely covered under the figure, counted as a full square.
  2. The square which is half covered under the figure, counted as half square.
  3. The square which is covered less than half, is not counted.
  4. The square which is covered more than half, counted as a full square.
Now, in the above example,
Number of squares which are completely covered = 23 squares
Number of squares which are half covered = 4 = 2 full squares
Number of squares which are covered less than half = 3 squares (not counting)
Number of squares which are covered more than half = 7 squares (counting as full squares)
Therefore, the area of the given figure will be = 23 + 2 + 7
= 32 square unit
Note – We measure the area of any closed figure in a square unit. If the sides of a figure are in centimeters then the unit of the area will be square centimeter (sq. cm.).

Area of Rectangle
If we draw a Rectangle on a squared paper and calculate the area, then we shall find that the squares covered by the rectangle are equal to the multiplication of length and breadth of it.
Squares covered by the Rectangle = 24 squares
Multiplication of length and breadth = 6×4 = 24

Since squares covered by the rectangle and the multiplication of length and breadth are equal. 

So, we can calculate the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Therefore, Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Example – If the length and breadth of a rectangular table are 10 cm and 7 cm respectively, then find the area of the table.

Solution – here, length of table = 10 cm
Breadth of table = 7 cm
So, area of rectangular table = length × breadth
= 10 cm × 7 cm
= 70 square cm.             Ans.
Area of a Square
The Area of the square can be found the same as the area of the rectangle. We know that if the length and breadth of a rectangle are the same then that will be a square.
Squares covered by the square = 16 squares
Multiplication of its two sides = 4×4 =16
Since both, the values are the same so we can calculate the area of a square by multiplying its two sides.

Therefore, Area of Square = Side × Side
Example – Find the area of a square-shaped tile, if each side is 5 cm.
Solution – Each side of a square-shaped tile = 5 cm
So, area of a square-shaped tile = side × side
= 5 cm × 5 cm
= 25 sq. cm.        Ans.

What are Three-Dimensional shapes?
In geometry, a three-dimensional shape can be defined as a solid figure or an object or shape that has three dimensions – length, width and height. Unlike two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional shapes have thickness or depth.

The attributes of a three-dimensional figure are faces, edges and vertices. The three dimensions compose the edges of a 3D geometric shape.
Three dimensions of a three-dimensional shape or 3d Figure
A cube, rectangular prism, sphere, cone and cylinder are the basic 3-dimensional shapes we see around us.

  Fun Facts

  • All three-dimensional shapes are made up of two-dimensional shapes.
Pyramid
A pyramid is a polyhedron with a polygon base and an apex with straight edges and flat faces. Based on their apex alignment with the center of the base, they can be classified into regular and oblique pyramids. A pyramid with:
  • A triangular base is called a Tetrahedron
  • A quadrilateral base is called a square pyramid
  • A pentagon base is called a pentagonal pyramid
  • A regular hexagon base is called a hexagonal pyramid
Types of Pyramids
Prisms
Prisms are solids with identical polygon ends and flat parallelogram sides. Some of the characteristics of a prism are:
  • It has the same cross-section all along its length.
  • The different types of prisms are - triangular prisms, square prisms, pentagonal prisms, hexagonal prisms, etc.
  • Prisms are also broadly classified into regular prisms and oblique prisms.

What Is an Integer?
An integer is a number with no decimal or fractional part, from the set of negative and positive numbers, including zero. Examples of integers are: -5, 0, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,043.
A set of integers, which is represented as Z, includes:
  • Positive Integers: An integer is positive if it is greater than zero. Example: 1, 2, 3 . . .
  • Negative Integers: An integer is negative if it is less than zero. Example: -1, -2, -3 . . .
  • Zero is defined as neither negative nor positive integer. It is a whole number.
Z = {... -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
What is an integer
Integers on a Number Line
A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a straight line. This line is used for the comparison of numbers that are placed at equal intervals on an infinite line that extends on both sides, horizontally.
Just like other numbers, the set of integers can also be represented on a number line.
Graphing integers
Graphing Integers on a Number Line
  • The number on the right horizontal side is always greater than the left side number.
  • Positive numbers are placed on the right side of 0, as they are greater than “0”.
  • Negative numbers are placed on the left side of “0”, as they are smaller than “0”.
  • Zero, which isn't positive or negative, is kept at the center.
Integer Operations
The four basic arithmetic operations associated with integers are:
  • Addition of Integers
  • Subtraction of Integer
  • Multiplication of Integers
  • Division of Integers

There are some rules for doing these operations.
Before we start learning these methods of integer operations, we need to remember a few things.
If there is no sign in front of a number, it means that the number is positive. For example, 5 means +5.
The absolute value of an integer is a positive number, i.e., |−2| = 2 and |2| = 2.

Addition of Integers
While adding two integers, we come across the following cases:

  • Both integers have the same signs: Add the absolute values of integers, and give the same sign as that of the given integers to the result.
  • One integer is positive and the other is negative: Find the difference of the absolute values of the numbers and then give the original sign of the larger of these numbers to the result.
Example 1:
Adding two integers: Calculate the value of 2 + (-5).

Solution:
Here, the absolute values of 2 and (-5) are 2 and 5 respectively.
Their difference (larger number - smaller number) is 5 - 2 = 3
Now, among 2 and 5, 5 is the larger number and its original sign “-”.
Hence, the result gets a negative sign, "-”.
Therefore, 2 + (-5) = -3

Example 2:
Adding two integers: Calculate the value of -2 + 5.

Solution:
Here, the absolute values of (-2) and 5 are 2 and 5 respectively.
Their difference (larger number - smaller number) is 5 - 2 = 3
Now, among 2 and 5, 5 is the larger number and its original sign “+”.
Hence, the result will be a positive value.
Therefore,(-2) + 5 = 3
We can also solve the above problem using a number line. The rules for the addition of integers on the number line are:
  • always start from "0".
  • move to the right side, if the number is positive.
  • move to the left side, if the number is negative.

Let's find the value of 5 + (-10) using a number line.
In the given problem, the first number is 5 which is positive.
So, we start from 0 and move 5 units to the right side.
Addition of Integers: Adding integers using the number line
The next number in the given problem is -10, which is negative.
We move (from the fifth unit) 10 units to the left side.
Addition of Integers: Adding integers using the number line
The number we have moved to finally is -5.

Subtraction of Integers
To carry out the subtraction of two integers:

  • Convert the operation into an addition problem by changing the sign of the subtrahend.
  • Apply the same rules of addition of integers and solve the problem thus obtained in the above step.
Example:
Subtracting two integers: Calculate the value of 7 - 10.

Solution:
Converting the given expression into an addition problem, we get: 7 + (-10).
Now, the rules for this operation will be the same as for the addition of two integers.
Here, the absolute values of 7 and (-10) are 7 and 10 respectively.
Their difference (larger number - smaller number) is 10 - 7 = 3.
Now, among 7 and 10, 10 is the larger number and its original sign “-”.
Hence, the result gets a negative sign, "-”.
Therefore, 7 - 10 = -3

Ordering of Integers
Ordering of integers is stated for the series or a sequence where numbers are arranged in an order. The integers are ordered on a number line based on positive integers and negative integers. The integers that are greater than 0 are positive integers and integers less than 0 are negative integers.

As we know, the arrangement of numbers can be done in two ways:
  • Ascending order
  • Descending order
In ascending order, the integers are arranged from smallest to largest value whereas in descending order the integers are arranged from largest to smallest value.

Ordering of Integers on Number Line
As we have already learned, the integers are represented on a number line. The center of the number line is marked as 0. On the left side of 0, the negative integers are arranged in ascending order from left to right. On the right side of 0, the positive integers are arranged in ascending order from left to right. Thus, we can conclude that, on both sides of the 0, the integers are arranged in ascending order on the number line.
Ordering of integers on number line
In the above figure, we can see, the integers from -6 to -1, are arranged in ascending order from left to right and the integers from +1 to +6 are arranged in ascending order from left to right. So basically, all the integers from -6 to +6, are in ascending order from left to right whereas integers from right to left (+6 to -6) are in descending order.

Hence, we can say, -6 is smaller than all the integers marked on the number line (in the above figure) whereas 6 is the greatest of the integers.

Therefore, we can order the integers as:
-6 < -5 < -4 < -3 < -2 < -1 < 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6

Facts:

  • Order of Integers on left side of the number line are smaller than 0 and order of integers on the right side of the number line are greater than 0
  • The more the integer is negative, the more its value is smaller
  • The more the integer is positive, the more its value is greater
  • Zero is neither a negative integer nor a positive integer
  • All positive integers are greater than all the negative integers
Comparing Integers
One integer can be either greater or smaller than another integer. Thus, to compare two integers we use symbols greater than (>) and less than (<). Also, if two integers are equal to each other then we use the ‘equal to’ (=) symbol. See the examples below:
  • 0 > – 8
  • 8 > – 5
  • 0 < 3
  • -1 > -10
  • 10 < 12
  • -20 < 1
  • -100 < -10
  • 100 > -200
From the above examples, we can observe that, the more an integer is negative, the less its value is.

Ratio
If we compare two quantities using division then it is called ratio. It compares quantities in terms of ‘How many times’. The symbol to represent ratio is “:”.

Ratio

It reads as “4 is to 3”

It can also be written as 4/3.

Example

If there are 35 boys and 25 girls in a class, then what is the ratio of

  • Number of boys to total students

  • Number of girls to total students.

Solution

In the ratio, we want the total number of students.

Total number of students = Number of boys + Number of girls

35 + 25 = 60

  • Ratio of number of boys to total number of students

  • The ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students

The unit must be same to compare two quantities

If we have to compare two quantities with different units then we need to convert them in the same unit .then only they can be compared using ratio.

Example

What is the ratio of the height of Raman and Radha if the height of Raman is 175 cm and Radha is 1.35 m?

Solution

The unit of the height of Raman and Radha is not same so convert them in the same unit.

Height of Radha is 1.35 m = 1.35 × 100 cm = 135 cm

The ratio of the height of Raman and Radha 

The Lowest form of the Ratio

If there is no common factor of numerator and denominator except one then it is the lowest form of the ratio.

Example

Find the lowest form of the ratio 25: 100.

Solution

The common factor of 25 and 100 is 25, so divide both the numerator and denominator with 25.

Hence the lowest ratio of 25: 100 is 1: 4.

Proportion

If we say that two ratios are equal then it is called Proportion.

 Proportion

We write it as a: b : : c: d or a: b = c: d

And reads as “a is to b as c is to d”.

Example

If a man runs at a speed of 20 km in 2 hours then with the same speed would he be able to cross 40 km in 4 hours?

Solution

Here the ratio of the distances given is 20/40 = 1/2 = 1: 2

And the ratio of the time taken by them is also 2/4 = 1/2 = 1: 2

Hence the four numbers are in proportion.

We can write them in proportion as 20: 40 : : 2: 4

And reads as “20 is to 40 as 2 is to 4”.

Extreme Terms and Middle Terms of Proportion

Extreme Terms and Middle Terms of Proportion

The first and the fourth term in the proportion are called extreme terms and the second and third terms are called the Middle or the Mean Terms.

In this statement of proportion, the four terms which we have written in order are called the Respective Terms.

If the two ratios are not equal then these are not in proportion.

Example 1

Check whether the terms 30,99,20,66 are in proportion or not.

Solution 1.1

To check the numbers are in proportion or not we have to equate the ratios.

As both the ratios are equal so the four terms are in proportion.

30: 99 :: 20: 66

Unitary Method

If we find the value of one unit then calculate the value of the required number of units then this method is called the Unitary method.

Example 1

If the cost of 3 books is 320 Rs. then what will be the cost of 6 books?

Books

Solution 1

Cost of 3 books = Rs. 320

Cost of 1 book = 320/3 Rs.

Cost of 6 books = (320/3) × 6 = 640 Rs.

Hence, the cost of 6 books is Rs. 640.

REVISION
A number is a mathematical value used to count and measure different objects. With the help of the numbers we all are able to add, subtract, divide and multiple. Here we will be learning how to compare numbers, expand the number and also learn about the largest and the smallest numbers.
What are Natural numbers?
Counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ...... etc. are called Natural numbers. The smallest natural number is 1 and there is no largest natural number.

Roman numerals and the Hindu-Arabic numeral system are the two different types of number system used for writing numbers in many places. We all can see the roman numerals in clocks, page numbers, school timetable in syllabus page, etc.

Introduction

Introduction to numbers

  • Numbers are arithmetic values.
  • Numbers are used to convey the magnitude of everything around us.

Comparing numbers

Comparing numbers when the total number of digits is different

  • The number with most number of digits is the largest number by magnitude and the number with least number of digits is the smallest number.
    Example: Consider numbers: 22, 123, 9, 345, 3005. The largest number is 3005 (4 digits) and the smallest number is 9 (only 1 digit)

Comparing numbers when the total number of digits is same

  • The number with highest leftmost digit is the largest number. If this digit also happens to be the same, we look at the next leftmost digit and so on.
    Example: 340, 347, 560, 280, 265. The largest number is 560 (leftmost digit is 5) and the smallest number is 265 (on comparing 265 and 280, 6 is less than 8).

Ascending and Descending Order and Shifting Digits

Ascending order and Descending order

  • Ascending Order: Arranging numbers from the smallest to the greatest.
  • Descending Order: Arranging numbers from the greatest to the smallest number.
  • Example: Consider a group of numbers: 32, 12, 90, 433, 9999 and 109020.
    They can be arranged in descending order as 109020, 9999, 433, 90, 32 and 12, and in ascending order as 12, 32, 90, 433, 9999 and 109020.

How many numbers can be formed using a certain number of digits?

  • If a certain number of digits are given, we can make different numbers having the same number of digits by interchanging positions of digits.
  • Example: Consider 4 digits: 3, 0, 9, 6. Using these four digits,
    (i) Largest number possible = 9630
    (ii) Smallest number possible = 3069 (Since 4 digit number cannot have 0 as the leftmost number, as the number then will become a 3 digit number)

Shifting digits

  • Changing the position of digits in a number, changes magnitude of the number.
  • Example: Consider a number 789. If we swap the hundredths place digit with the digit at units place, we will get 987 which is greater than 789.
    Similarly, if we exchange the tenths place with the units place, we get 798, which is greater than 789.

Place value

  • Each place in a number, has a value of 10 times the place to its right.
  • Example: Consider number 789.
    (i) Place value of 7 = 700
    (ii) Place value of 8 = 80
    (iii) Place value of 9 = 9
  • Larger Numbers and Estimates

    Introducing large numbers

    Large numbers can be easily represented using the place value. It goes in the ascending order as shown below

    8 digits

    7 digits6 digits5 digits4 digits3 digits

    10 million

    (1 crore)

    1 million

    (10 lakhs)

    Hundred Thousands

    (1 lakh)

    Ten ThousandsThousands

    Hundreds

    • Largest 3 digit number + 1 = Smallest 4 digit number.
    • Largest 4 digit number + 1 = Smallest 5 digit number, and so on.
      Example: 9999 (greatest 4 digit number) + 1 = 10,000 (smallest 5 digit number)
    • We can convert every large numbers in terms of smaller numbers:
      Remember, 1 hundred = 10 tens
      1 thousand = 10 hundreds     = 100 tens
      1 lakh         = 100 thousands  = 1000 thousands
      1 crore       = 100 lakhs          = 10,000 thousands

Estimation

  • When there is a very large figure, we approximate that number to the nearest plausible value. This is called estimation.
  • Estimating depends on the degree of accuracy required and how quickly the estimate is needed.
  • Example:
    Given NumberAppropriate to NearestRounded Form 
    75847Tens75850
    75847Hundreds75800
    75847Thousands76000
    75847Tenth thousands80000

Estimating sum or difference

  • Estimations are used in adding and subtracting numbers.
  • Example of estimation in addition: Estimate 7890 + 437.
    Here 7890 > 437.
    Therefore, round off to hundreds.
    7890 is rounded off to       7900
    437 is rounded off to      +   400
    Estimated Sum =              8300
    Actual Sum       =              8327
  • Example of estimation in subtraction: Estimate 5678 – 1090. 
    Here 5678 > 1090.
    Therefore, round off to thousands.
    5678 is rounded off to       6000
    1090 is rounded off to    – 1000
    Estimated Difference =     5000
    Actual Difference       =     4588

Estimating products of numbers

  • Round off each factor to its greatest place, then multiply the rounded off factors.
  • Estimating the product of 199 and 31:
    199 is rounded off to 200
    31 is rounded off to 30
    Estimated Product = 200 × 30 = 6000
    Actual Result = 199 × 31 = 6169

BODMAS

  • We follow an order to carry out mathematical operations. It is called as BODMAS rule.
Knowing-Our-Numbers-1

While solving mathematical expressions, parts inside a bracket are always done first, followed by of, then division, and so on.

  • Example :

[(5 + 1) × 2] ÷ (2 × 3) + 2 – 2 = ?

[(5 + 1) × 2] ÷ (2 × 2) + 2 – 2….{Solve everything which is inside the brackets}

= [6 × 2] ÷ 6 + 2 – 2…..{Multiplication inside brackets}

= 12 ÷ 6 + 2 – 2……{Division}

= 2 + 2 – 2……{Addition}

= 4 – 2…….{Subtraction}

= 2

Using brackets

  1. Using brackets can simplify mathematical calculations.
  2. Example :
  • 7 × 109 = 7 × (100 + 9) = 7 × 100 + 7 × 9 = 700 + 63 = 763
  • 7 × 100 + 6 × 100 = 100 × (7 + 6) = 100 × 13 = 1300
  • Introducing Large Numbers

    What is the Indian Numeral System?

    The Indian numeral system contains numerals that are used to represent the numbers using a set of symbols. This system can be distinguished from the other numeral systems based on the nomenclature followed for different place values. When we use the Indian numeral system, we count with ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores.

    The following table depicts the different periods and places according to the number of digits in a number.

    Indian numeral system

    Use of Commas

    According to the Indian numeral system, separators (comma) are used after every period while representing a number in its standard numeral form. For example, the number 384756182 can be better represented as 38,47,56,182 in the standard Indian numeral system form using separators after every period.

    The number name for 38,47,56,182 is written as thirty-eight crore, forty-seven lakh fifty-six thousand, one hundred and eighty-two.

    Place value and face value:

    The place value of a digit of a number depends upon its position in the number. The face value of a digit of a number does not depend upon its position in the number. It always remains the same wherever it lies regardless of the place it occupies in the number.

    Example: Let us see the place value and face value of the underlined digit in the number 1,32,460. The digit 2 in the number 1,32,460 lies in the thousands period (1000) and hence the place value of 2 is 2 thousands (or 2000). The face value of 2 is 2 only.

    Expanded form:

    When a number is written as the sum of the place values of all the digits of the number, then the number is in its expanded form.

    Example: The expanded form of 9,67,480 is as shown below:
    9,67,480 = 900000 + 60000 + 7000+400+80.

  • International system of numeration
    Values of the places in the International system of numeration are Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten thousands, Hundred thousands, Millions, Ten millions and so on.
    1 million = 1000 thousands,
    1 billion = 1000 millions

    Following place value chart can be used to identify the digit in any place in the International system.

    Periods

             Billions

             Millions

           Thousands

              Ones

     Ones

    Commas in International system of Numeration
    As per International numeration system, the first comma is placed after the hundreds place. Commas are then placed after every three digits.
    e.g. (i) 8,876,547
    The number can be read as eight million eight hundred seventy-six thousand five hundred and forty-seven. 

  • Roman Numerals

    • Digits 09 in Roman are represented as : I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X
    • Some other Roman numbers are : I = 1, V = 5 , X = 10 , L = 50 , C = 100 , D = 500 , M = 1000

    Rules for writing Roman numerals

    • If a symbol is repeated, its value is added as many times as it occurs.
      Example: XX = 10 + 10 = 20
    • A symbol is not repeated more than three times. But the symbols X, L and D are never repeated.
    • If a symbol of smaller value is written to the right of a symbol of greater value, its value gets added to the value of greater symbol.
      Example: VII = 5 + 2 = 7
    • If a symbol of smaller value is written to the left of a symbol of greater value, its value is subtracted from the value of greater symbol.
      Example: IX = 10 – 1 = 9.
    • Some examples : 105 = CV , 73 = LXXIII and 192 = 100 + 90 + 2 = C  XC  II = CXCII

Ch-7 Algebra
Introduction to Algebra

There are so many branches of mathematics-

  • The study of numbers is called Arithmetic.

  • The study of shapes is called Geometry.

  • The study to use the letters and symbols in mathematics is called Algebra.

Algebra
Algebra is a part of mathematics in which the letter and symbols are used to represent numbers in equations. It helps us to study about unknown quantities.

Matchstick Patterns
Matchstick Patterns
No. of matchsticks used to make 1st square = 4

No. of matchsticks used to make 2nd square = 7

No. of matchsticks used to make 3rd square = 10

So, the pattern that we observe here is 3n + 1

With this pattern, we can easily find the number of matchsticks required in any number of squares.

Example

How many matchsticks will be used in the 50th figure?

Solution

3n + 1

3 × 50 + 1

= 151 matchsticks

The Idea of a Variable

Variable refers to the unknown quantities that can change or vary and are represented using the lowercase letter of the English alphabets.

One such example of the same is the rule that we used in the matchstick pattern

3n + 1

Here the value of n is unknown and it can vary from time to time.

More Examples of Variables

  • We can use any letter as a variable, but only lowercase English alphabets.

  • Numbers cannot be used for the variable as they have a fixed value.

  • They can also help in solving some other problems.

Example: 1

Karan wanted to buy story books from a bookstall. She wanted to buy 3 books for herself, 2 for her brother and 4 for 2 of her friends. Each book cost Rs.15.how much money she should pay to the shopkeeper?

Solution: 1

Cost of 1 book = Rs.15

We need to find the cost of 9 books.

No. of notebooks1234  …….a  ….....
Total cost 15304560   ……15 a   


In the current situation, a (it’s a variable) stands for 9

Therefore,

Cost of 9 books = 15 × 9

= 135

Therefore Karan needs to pay Rs.135 to the shopkeeper of the bookstall.

The variable and constant not only multiply with each other but also can be added or subtracted, based on the situation.


Equation

If we use the equal sign between two expressions then they form an equation.

An equation satisfies only for a particular value of the variable.

The equal sign says that the LHS is equal to the RHS and the value of a variable which makes them equal is the only solution of that equation.

Example

3 + 2x = 13

5m – 7 = 3

p/6 = 18

If there is the greater then or less than sign instead of the equal sign then that statement is not an equation.

Some examples which are not an equation

23 + 6x  > 8

6f – 3 < 24

The Solution of an Equation
The value of the variable which satisfies the equation is the solution to that equation. To check whether the particular value is the solution or not, we have to check that the LHS must be equal to the RHS with that value of the variable.

Trial and Error Method

To find the solution of the equation, we use the trial and error method.

Example

Find the value of x in the equation 25 – x = 15.

Solution

Here we have to check for some values which we feel can be the solution by putting the value of the variable x and check for LHS = RHS.

Let’s take x = 5

25 – 5 = 15

20 ≠ 15

So x = 5 is not the solution of that equation.

Let’s take x = 10

25 – 10 = 15

15 = 15

LHS = RHS

Hence, x = 10 is the solution of that equation.

A factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number
Example
1. Factor of 6
1-> Since 1 exactly divides 6
2 -> Since it exactly divides 6
3 -> Since it exactly divides 6
6-> Since it exactly divides 6

Properties of factors
1. 1 is a factor of every number
2. every number is a factor of itself.
3. every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number
4. every factor is less than or equal to the given number
5. number of factors of a given number are finite.
 
Multiple
Multiple of a number is the numbers obtained by multiplying that numbers with various Natural Numbers.
Example
Number is 6
Multiple will be



 
Properties of Multiple
1. Every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.
2. number of multiples of a given number is infinite
3. every number is a multiple of itself
 
Perfect Number
A number for which sum of all its factors is equal to twice the number is called a perfect number.
Example
1. 6
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Now, .
2. 28
All the factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28.
Now, 2×28.
 
Prime Numbers
The numbers other than 1 whose only factors are 1 and the number itself are called Prime numbers.
Example:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11 ,13
We can find list of prime numbers till 100 using Sieve of Eratosthenes method
Step 1: Cross out 1 because it is not a prime number.
Step 2: Encircle 2, cross out all the multiples of 2, other than 2 itself, i.e. 4, 6, 8 and so on.
Step 3: You will find that the next uncrossed number is 3. Encircle 3 and cross out all the multiples of 3, other than 3 itself.
Step 4: The next uncrossed number is 5. Encircle 5 and cross out all the multiples of 5 other than 5 itself.
Step 5: Continue this process till all the numbers in the list are either encircled or crossed out.
All the encircled numbers are prime numbers. All the crossed-out numbers, other than 1 are composite numbers
 
Composite Numbers
Numbers having more than two factors (1 and itself) are called Composite numbers
Example:
4, 6, 8 ,9….
 
Even Numbers
The numbers which are multiple of 2 are called even numbers
Example

2

A number is divisible by 2 if it has any of the digits 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 in its one’s place

3

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3, then the number is divisible by 3.
Example

Factorisation and Prime -Factorisation
Factorisation is expressing the number as a product of its factors
So,
 36 = 3×12 = 4 X 9
These form is called Factorisation
Prime Factorisation is expressing the number as a product of its prime factors

We can find prime factorisation by dividing the numbers with 2, 3, 5, 7 etc. in this order repeatedly so long as the quotient is divisible by that number
 
HCF and LCM
a. The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more given numbers is the highest of their common factors. It is also known as Greatest Common Divisor (GCD).
Steps to find HCF or GCD
a. Find the prime factorisation of the numbers
b. Choose the common factors in them
c. Multiply those common factors to obtain HCF.
Example
(a) Find the HCF of 8 and 12
Prime Factorisation of the numbers


Common factors are 2,2
So 
(b) Find the HCF of 20, 28 and 36
Prime Factorisation of the numbers



Common factors are 2,2
So 

(b) The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more given numbers is the lowest of their common multiples.
Steps to find LCM
(a) Find the prime factorisation of the numbers
(b) look for the maximum occurrence of all the prime factors in these numbers
(c) The LCM of the numbers will be the product of the prime factors counted the maximum number of times they occur in any of the numbers

Prime Factorisation of the numbers


So, 

LCM using division method
Here we divide the given numbers by common prime number until the remainder is a prime number or one. LCM will be the product obtained by multiplying all divisors and remaining prime numbers.
Steps are
(1) We place number in the line
(2) We start dividing the number by least prime number which is common among all of them or group of them
(3) Keep dividing by least until we have 1's in the remainder
(4) LCM is the product of the divisors
HCF using Long Division Method

Find highest common factor (H.C.F) of 136, 170 and 255 by using division method. 

Solution:

Let us find the highest common factor (H.C.F) of 136 and 170. 


Real life problems related to HCF and LCM
Example: 1
There are two containers having 240 litres and 1024 litres of petrol respectively. Calculate the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of both the containers when used an exact number of times.

Solution:
As we have to find the capacity of the container which is the exact divisor of the capacities of both the containers, i. e. maximum capacity, so we need to calculate the HCF.
The common factors of 240 and 1024
The common factors of 240 and 1024 are 2 × 2 × 2 × 2. Thus, the HCF of 240 and 1024 is 16. Therefore, the maximum capacity of the required container is 16 litres.

Example: 2
What could be the least number which when we divide by 20, 25 and 30 leaves a remainder of 6 in every case?
Solution:
As we have to find the least number so we will calculate the LCM first.
LCM of 20, 25 and 30
LCM of 20, 25 and 30 is 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 300.

Here 300 is the least number which when divided by 20, 25 and 30 then they will leave remainder 0 in each case. But we have to find the least number which leaves remainder 6 in all cases. Hence, the required number is 6 more than 300.

The required least number = 300 + 6 = 306.

What is Quadrilateral?
In geometry, a quadrilateral can be defined as a closed, two-dimensional shape which has four straight sides.  The polygon has four vertices or corners.
Quadrilateral – 4-sided polygon
We can find the shape of quadrilaterals in various things around us, like in a chess board, a deck of cards, a kite, a tub of popcorn, a sign board and in an arrow.
Quadrilateral real-life examples we see around us
Properties of a Quadrilateral:
  • A quadrilateral has 4 sides, 4 angles and 4 vertices.
  • A quadrilateral can be regular or irregular.
  • The sum of all the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. 
Types of Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals can be classified into Parallelograms, Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses. Square, Rectangle and Rhombus are also Parallelograms.
Types of Quadrilaterals - Relativity
Here’s a list of the types of quadrilaterals with their name, pictures and properties:

Fun Facts

  • The word quadrilateral has originated from two Latin words quadri which means “four” and, latus meaning “side”. 
 
What is a Circle?
A circle is a two-dimensional figure formed by a set of points that are at a constant or at a fixed distance (radius) from a fixed point (center) in the plane. The fixed point is called the origin or center of the circle and the fixed distance of the points from the origin is called the radius
What is a Circle?
Parts of a Circle
A circle has mainly the following parts:
Circumference: Circumference of a circle, also referred to as the perimeter of a circle is the distance around the boundary of the circle.
Radius of Circle: Radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the boundary of the circle. A circle has many radii as it is the distance from the center and touch the boundary of the circle at various points
Diameter: A diameter is a straight line passing through the center that connects two points on the boundary of the circle. We should note that there can be multiple diameters in the circle, but they should:
  • pass through the center.
  • be straight lines.
  • touch the boundary of the circle at two points.
Chord of circle: A chord of a circle is any line segment touching the circle at two different points on its boundary.
Tangent in Circle: A tangent of a circle is a line that touches the circle at a unique point.
Secant in circle: A line that intersects two points on an arc/circumference of a circle is called the secant.
Arc of a Circle: An arc of a circle is referred to as a curve, that is a part or portion of its circumference.
Segment in a Circle: The area enclosed by the chord and the corresponding arc in a circle is called a segment. There are two types of segments - minor segment, and major segment.
Sector of a Circle: The sector of a circle is defined as the area enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc in a circle. There are two types of sectors, minor sector, and major sector.

What Are Concentric Circles?
Concentric circles are circles with the same or common center. In other words, if two or more circles have the same center point, they are termed as concentric circles. The following figure shows two concentric circles with the same center O.
Half a circle. A closed shape consisting of half a circle and a diameter of that circle*.
Semicircle
A semicircle is a half circle, formed by cutting a whole circle along a diameter line, as shown above. Any diameter of a circle cuts it into two equal semicircles.
For better understanding observe the given image depicting all the parts of a circle.
Parts of a Circle
Circle Formulas
Let's see the list of important formulae pertaining to any circle.
  • Area of a Circle Formula: The area of a circle refers to the amount of space covered by the circle. The area of a circle totally depends on the length of its radius. Area = π×r2
  • Circumference of a Circle Formula: The circumference of a circle is the whole length of the circle(boundary). Circumference of circle = 2 × π × r.
Construction of a Circle of a given radius
A circle is a combination of points such that every point is equidistant from the centre.
Example: Draw a circle of radius 3.2 cms.
  • Open the compasses and measure a distance of 3.2 cm on the ruler. To do this one, metal end tip of the compass should be placed at zero and the pencil should be at 3.2 cms.

  • Mark a point with a sharp pencil where we want the centre of the circle to be. Name it as O.
  • Place the pointer ( metal tip) of the compasses on O. The width of the compass should not be altered.
  • Turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle. Please see that the movement is completed around in one instant.

What is a polygon? 
In geometry, a polygon can be defined as a flat or plane, two-dimensional closed shape with straight sides. It does not have curved sides. 
Here are a few examples of polygons.
Polygon Geometry Two-Dimensional 2D shape
Polygons can be of two types:
Regular Polygons – Polygons that have equal sides and angles are regular polygons. 
Here are a few examples of regular polygons.

Ratio

If we compare two quantities using division then it is called ratio. It compares quantities in terms of ‘How many times’. The symbol to represent ratio is “:”.
Ratio
It reads as “4 is to 3”
It can also be written as 4/3.

Example

If there are 35 boys and 25 girls in a class, then what is the ratio of

  • Number of boys to total students

  • Number of girls to total students.

Solution

In the ratio, we want the total number of students.

Total number of students = Number of boys + Number of girls

35 + 25 = 60

  • Ratio of number of boys to total number of students

  • The ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students

The unit must be same to compare two quantities

If we have to compare two quantities with different units then we need to convert them in the same unit .then only they can be compared using ratio.

Example

What is the ratio of the height of Raman and Radha if the height of Raman is 175 cm and Radha is 1.35 m?

Solution

The unit of the height of Raman and Radha is not same so convert them in the same unit.

Height of Radha is 1.35 m = 1.35 × 100 cm = 135 cm

The ratio of the height of Raman and Radha 

The Lowest form of the Ratio

If there is no common factor of numerator and denominator except one then it is the lowest form of the ratio.

Example

Find the lowest form of the ratio 25: 100.

Solution

The common factor of 25 and 100 is 25, so divide both the numerator and denominator with 25.

Hence the lowest ratio of 25: 100 is 1: 4.

Proportion

If we say that two ratios are equal then it is called Proportion.

 Proportion

We write it as a: b : : c: d or a: b = c: d

And reads as “a is to b as c is to d”.

Example

If a man runs at a speed of 20 km in 2 hours then with the same speed would he be able to cross 40 km in 4 hours?

Solution

Here the ratio of the distances given is 20/40 = 1/2 = 1: 2

And the ratio of the time taken by them is also 2/4 = 1/2 = 1: 2

Hence the four numbers are in proportion.

We can write them in proportion as 20: 40 : : 2: 4

And reads as “20 is to 40 as 2 is to 4”.
 

Extreme Terms and Middle Terms of Proportion

Extreme Terms and Middle Terms of Proportion

The first and the fourth term in the proportion are called extreme terms and the second and third terms are called the Middle or the Mean Terms.

In this statement of proportion, the four terms which we have written in order are called the Respective Terms.

If the two ratios are not equal then these are not in proportion.

Example 1

Check whether the terms 30,99,20,66 are in proportion or not.

Solution 1.1

To check the numbers are in proportion or not we have to equate the ratios.

As both the ratios are equal so the four terms are in proportion.

30: 99 :: 20: 66

Unitary Method

If we find the value of one unit then calculate the value of the required number of units then this method is called the Unitary method.

Example 1

If the cost of 3 books is 320 Rs. then what will be the cost of 6 books?

Books

Solution 1

Cost of 3 books = Rs. 320

Cost of 1 book = 320/3 Rs.

Cost of 6 books = (320/3) × 6 = 640 Rs.

Hence, the cost of 6 books is Rs. 640.

Properties of Addition
Closure property:
For any two whole numbers a and b, their sum  a + b is always a whole number.
E.g. 12 + 45 = 57 
12, 45 and 57 all are whole numbers.

Commutative property:
For any two whole numbers a and b, a +b = b + a We can add any two whole numbers in any order.
E.g  12 + 45 = 45 + 12

Associative property
For any three whole numbers a, b and c, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). , This means the sum is regardless of how grouping is done.
E.g   31 + (24 + 38) = (31 + 24) + 38

Additive identity property:
For every whole number a, a + 0 = a. Therefore ‘0’ is called the Additive identity.
E.g. 19 + 0 = 19

Properties of Subtraction
Closure property:
For any two whole numbers, a and b, if a  > b then a – b is a whole number and if a < b then a – b is never a whole number. Closure property is not always applicable to subtraction.
E.g. 150 – 100 = 50, is a whole number but 100 – 150 = -50 is not a whole number.

Commutative property: For any two whole numbers a and b, a – b ≠  b – a . Hence subtraction of whole number is not commutative.
E.g  16 – 7 = 9 but  7 – 16 ≠ 9

Associative property:
For any three whole numbers a, b and c, (a – b) – c ≠ a – (b – c). Hence  subtraction of whole numbers is not associative.
E.g.  25 – (10 – 4) = 25 – 6 = 19
       (25 – 10) – 4 = 15 – 4 = 11   
This means that 25 – (10 – 4) ≠ (25 – 10) – 4

Properties of Multiplication:
Closure property:
For any two whole numbers a and b,their product  ax b is always a whole number.
E.g. 12 x 7 =  84, 12, 7 and 84 all are whole numbers.

Commutative property:
For any two whole numbers a and b, a a x b = b x a Order of multiplication is not important.
E.g  11 x 6 =  66 and   6 x 11 = 66
Therefore, 11 x 6 = 6 x 11

Associative property:
For any three whole numbers a, b and c, (a x b) x c = a x (b x c),   this means the product is regardless of how grouping is done.
E.g   8 x (4 x 5) = 8 x 20 = 160;   (8 x 4) x 5 = 32 x 5 = 160
Therefore,  8 x (4 x 5) = (8 x 4) x 5

Multiplicative identity:
For any whole number a, a x 1 = a  Since any number multiplied by 1 doesn’t change its identity hence 1 is called as multiplicative identity of a whole number. E.g. 21 x 1 = 21

Multiplication by zero:
For any whole number a, a x 0 = 0,
E.g 25 x 0 = 0

Distributive property of multiplication over Addition:
This property is used when we have to multiply a number by the sum.
For any three whole numbers a, band c a × (b + c) =  a × b + a × c
In order to verify this property, we take any three whole numbers a, b and c and find the values of the expressions a × (b + c) and a × b + a × c as shown below:
Find 3 × (4 + 5).
In this case either you can add the numbers 4 and 5 and then multiply them by 3
3 × (4 + 5) = 3 × 9 = 27
 OR you can multiply each addend by 3 and then add the products
3 × 4 + 3 × 5 = 12 + 15 = 27
Therefore, 3 × (4 + 5) = 3 × 4 + 3 × 5

Properties of Division
Closure property:
For any two whole numbers a and b, a ÷ b is not always a whole number. Hence closure property is not applicable to division.
E.g.  68 and 5 are whole numbers but 68 ÷ 5 is not a whole number.

Commutative property:
For any two whole numbers a and b, a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a. This means division of whole number is not commutative.
E.g. 16 ÷ 4 ≠ 4 ÷ 16

 Associative property:
For any 3 whole numbers a, b and c,(a ÷ b)  ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c)
E.g. consider (80 ÷ 10) ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
 80 ÷ (10 ÷2) = 80 ÷ 5 = 16
(80 ÷ 10) ÷ 2 ≠80 ÷ (10 ÷2)
Hence division does not follow associative property.

Division by 1
For any whole number a, a ÷ 1 = a, this means any whole number divided by 1 gives the quotient as the number itself.
E.g. 14 ÷ 1 = 14;                  26 ÷ 1 = 26

Division of 0 by any whole number
For any whole number, a ≠ 0, 0 ÷ a = 0, this shows zero divided by any whole number (other than zero) gives the quotient as zero.  
E.g. 0 ÷ 1 = 0;                       0 ÷ 25 = 0;

Division by 0
To divide any number, say 7 by 0, we first have to find  out a whole number which when multiplied by 0 gives us 7. This is not possible.  Therefore, division by 0 is not defined.

Patterns in whole number
A pattern is a sequence of numbers or picture.

Number Patterns
The order of Operations is the rule in math that states we evaluate the parentheses/brackets first, the exponents/the orders second, division or multiplication third (from left to right, whichever comes first), and the addition or subtraction at the last (from left to right, whichever comes first).

As per International numeration system, the first comma is placed after the hundreds place. Commas are then placed after every three digits.

e.g. (i) 8,876,547
The number can be read as eight million eight hundred seventy-six thousand five hundred and forty-seven. 

The number can be read as fifty-six million seven hundred eighty-nine thousand and fifty-six.

If a symbol is repeated, its value is added as many times as it occurs. Examples,Rules for writing Roman Numerals:

    1. II = 2
    2. CCC = 300
  1. A symbol is not repeated more than three times. But the symbols V, L and D are never repeated. Example,
    1. XX is correct but DD is not.
  2. If a symbol of smaller value is written to the right of a symbol of greater value, its value gets added to the value of greater symbol. Example,
    1. XI = 11
    2. VII = 7
  3. If a symbol of smaller value is written to the left of a symbol of greater value, its value is subtracted from the value of the greater symbol. Example,
    1. IX = 9
    2. XC = 90
  4. The symbols V, L and D are never written to the left of a symbol of greater value, i.e. V, L and D are never subtracted. The symbol I can be subtracted from V and X only. The symbol X can be subtracted from L, M and C only.

Problem: Write in Roman Numerals.

Solution:

(a) 73

73 = 70 + 3

70 = 50 + 10 + 10 = LXX

3 = 1 + 1 + 1 = III

Hence 73 can be written as LXXIII

(b) 92

92 = 90 + 2

90 = 100 - 10 = XC

2 = 1 + 1 = II

Hence 92 can be written as XCII

Comparison of Numbers
We often need to compare the two or more numbers. Here are some of the ways it can be performed easily
1) If two numbers have unequal number of digits, then the number with the greater number of digits is greater.
2) If two numbers have equal number of digits then, the number with greater valued digit on the extreme left is greater. If the digits on extreme left of the numbers are equal then the digits to the right of the extreme left digits are compared and so on.
Example
a)  Comparison between 358 and 4567
Answer
Here 4567 has four digits and 358 has three digits, so clearly 4657 is greater than 358
 
b) Comparison between 1345 and 2456
Answer
Here both the number have same digit, So we need start looking at the extreme left digit
1345 -> 1
2456 -> 2
Now 2 > 1
So we can clearly state 2456 > 1345

Introducing Large Numbers
What is the Indian Numeral System?
The Indian numeral system contains numerals that are used to represent the numbers using a set of symbols. This system can be distinguished from the other numeral systems based on the nomenclature followed for different place values. When we use the Indian numeral system, we count with ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores.

The following table depicts the different periods and places according to the number of digits in a number.
Indian numeral system
Use of Commas
According to the Indian numeral system, separators (comma) are used after every period while representing a number in its standard numeral form. For example, the number 384756182 can be better represented as 38,47,56,182 in the standard Indian numeral system form using separators after every period.

The number name for 38,47,56,182 is written as thirty-eight crore, forty-seven lakh fifty-six thousand, one hundred and eighty-two.

Place value and face value:
The place value of a digit of a number depends upon its position in the number. The face value of a digit of a number does not depend upon its position in the number. It always remains the same wherever it lies regardless of the place it occupies in the number.

Example: Let us see the place value and face value of the underlined digit in the number 1,32,460. The digit 2 in the number 1,32,460 lies in the thousands period (1000) and hence the place value of 2 is 2 thousands (or 2000). The face value of 2 is 2 only.

Expanded form:
When a number is written as the sum of the place values of all the digits of the number, then the number is in its expanded form.

Example: The expanded form of 9,67,480 is as shown below:
9,67,480 = 900000 + 60000 + 7000+400+80.

Main Teachings

Oral Explanation Online with some written work.
The estimation of a number is a reasonable guess of the actual value. Estimation means approximating a quantity to the accuracy required. This is done by rounding off the numbers involved and getting a quick and rough answer. 

Rounding off a number to the nearest tens
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are nearer to 0. So, these numbers are rounded off to the lower ten. The numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 are nearer to 10. So, these numbers are rounded off to the higher ten. The number 5 is equidistant from both 0 and 10, so it is rounded off to the higher ten. 
e.g.
(i) We round off 31 to the nearest ten as 30
(ii) We round off 57 to the nearest ten as 60
(iii) We round off 45 to the nearest ten as 50

Rounding off a number to the nearest hundreds
The numbers 201 to 249 are closer to 200. So, these numbers are rounded off to the nearest hundred i.e. 200. The numbers 251 to 299 are closer to 300. So, these numbers are rounded off to the higher hundred i.e. 300. The number 250 is rounded off to the higher hundred.
e.g.
(i)  We round off 578 to the nearest 100 as 600.
(ii)  We round off 310 to the nearest 100 as 300.

Rounding off a number to the nearest thousands
Similarly, 1001 to 1499 are rounded off to the lower thousand i.e.1000, and 1501 to 1999 to the higher thousand i.e. 2000. The number 1500 is equidistant from both 0 and 1000, and so it is rounded off to the higher thousand i.e.2000. 
e.g.
(i) We round off 2574 to the nearest thousand as 3000.
(ii) We round off 7105 to the nearest thousand as 7000.

Estimation of sum or difference:

When we estimate sum or difference, we should have an idea of the place to which the rounding is needed.
e.g.
(i)  Estimate 4689 + 19316
We can say that 19316 > 4689
We shall round off the numbers to the nearest thousands.
19316 is rounded off to 19000
4689 is rounded off to 5000

Estimated sum:
19000 + 5000 = 24000

(ii) Estimate 1398 – 526
We shall round off these numbers to the nearest hundreds. 
1398  is rounded off to 1400
526 is rounded off to 500

Estimated difference:
1400 – 500 = 900

Estimation of the product:

To estimate the product, round off each factor to its greatest place, then multiply the rounded off factors. 
e.g.
Estimate 92 x 578
The first number, 92, can be rounded off to the nearest ten as 90.
The second number, 578, can be rounded off to the nearest hundred as 600.
Hence, the estimated product =90 x 600 = 54,000.

Estimating the outcome of number operations is useful in checking the answer.
Estimating Quotients
It is easier a quotient by using compatible numbers close to the divisor and the dividend, i.e., choosing a pair of numbers that are easier to divide mentally.

Arranging numbers in ascending order and descending order.

We know, while arranging numbers from the smallest number to the largest number, then the numbers are arranged in ascending order. 

Suppose for example, 81, 97, 123, 137 and 201 are arranged in ascending order. 

Vice-versa while arranging numbers from the largest number to the smallest number then the numbers are arranged in descending order. 

Suppose for example, 187, 121, 117, 103 and 99 are arranged in descending order.

Building Numbers
In formation of numbers with the given digits we may say that a number is an arranged group of digits. Numbers may be formed with or without the repetition of digits. Let us observe some of the formation of numbers without the repetition of digits.
Some numbers formed by 3 digits are given below:
(a) The numbers by 2, 3, and 4 are:

234, 243, 324, 342, 423, 432 (6 numbers each of 3 digits)

How many numbers in all can we have with 4 digits ?
The smallest 4-digit number = 1000. 
The greatest 4-digit number = 9999. 
There for 9999 - 1000 = 8999 and 8999 + 1 = 9000 
So, we say that we have 9000 four-digit numbers.

What are Natural numbers?
Counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ...... etc. are called Natural numbers. The smallest natural number is 1 and there is no largest natural number.
 
Digits and Place value
Numbers are formed using the ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,  5, 6, 7, 8, 9. These symbols are called digits or figures.
To find the place value of a digit in a number, multiply the digit with the value of the place it occupies.
 
Comparison of Numbers
We often need to compare the two or more numbers. Here are some of the ways it can be performed easily
1) If two numbers have unequal number of digits, then the number with the greater number of digits is greater.

2) If two numbers have equal number of digits then, the number with greater valued digit on the extreme left is greater. If the digits on extreme left of the numbers are equal then the digits to the right of the extreme left digits are compared and so on.

Example
a) Comparison between 358 and 4567
Answer
Here 4567 has four digits and 358 has three digits, so clearly 4657 is greater than 358

Predecessor and Successor
Predecessor
The number which comes before the given number is known as predecessor.
Since 0 is the first whole number it does not have predecessor which is a whole number.
