Identification of plane shapes
Properties of circles and triangles
Properties of quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, trapezium, rhombus, parallelogram, and
kite
Identification and naming of polygon
Similarities and differences between regular quadrilaterals.
Identification of plane shapes
A flat surface, such as top of a table, a playing field, ceiling, wall, face of a tin and star board face is
referred to as a plane. It is a plane because it is two dimensional, i.e. it is measured in only two directions.
Figures drawn on flat or plane surfaces are called plane shapes. Examples include rectangle, square,
triangle, parallelogram and trapezium.
All these shapes are referred to as a regular shape, i.e. they have definite length and breadth.
There are also irregular shapes (they do not have definite length and breadth), e.g. leaves, stones, etc.
Circle
The shape traced out in which every point of it is same distance from a fixed centre point is called circle.
The outer –boundary of the circle is called the circumference. The curved part of the circumference is
called arc. The radius is the straight line joining the centre to any part on the circumference.
The straight line that divides the circle into semicircles is called the diameter. The line that divides the
circle into two segments is called the chord.
The region bounded by the diameter and the arcs of a circle is called the semi- circle. The sector is the
region bounded by two radii and the arc of the circle. The segment is the region bounded by the chord
and the arc of the circle. A circle has infinite number of lines of symmetry
CLASS ACTIVITY
1) How many lines of symmetry have a circle?
2) Describe the following parts of a circle a) radius b) sector c) segment d) chord e) diameter.
Triangles
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. This is called the angle-sum property.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Similarly, the difference between the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is less than the length
of the third side.
The side opposite to the largest angle is the longest side of the triangle and the side opposite to
the smallest angle is the shortest side of the triangle.
In the figure above, ∠B is the largest angle and the side opposite to it (hypotenuse), is the largest
side of the triangle.
Equilateral triangle: A triangle having all the three sides of equal length is an equilateral triangle.
Since all sides are equal, all angles are equal too. It has three lines of symmetry.
Isosceles triangle: A triangle having two sides of equal length is an Isosceles triangle.
The two angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. It has one line of symmetry.
Scalene triangle: A triangle having three sides of different lengths is called a scalene triangle.
Acute-angled triangle: A triangle whose all angles are acute is called an acute-angled triangle or acute
triangle.
Obtuse-angled triangle: A triangle whose one angle is obtuse is an obtuse-angled triangle or Obtuse
triangle.
Right-angled triangle: A triangle whose one angle is a right-angle is a Right-angled triangle or Right
triangle.

MEASURING PERIMETERS
Perimeter is the outside boundary or edge of a plane shape. For example, the boundary fence of your
school compound is its perimeter. We also use the word perimeter to mean the length of the boundary.
For example, if you take 200 paces to walk your school boundary, you could say its perimeter is 200
paces.
CIRCLE
The Perimeter of a circle is called its CIRCUMFERENCE = 2∏r Where r = radius of a circle and
∏ = 22/7 or 3.14.
EXAMPLE:
The circumference of a Circle is 44cm. Find its diameter.
SOLUTION
Circumference = 2πr
2∏r = 44cm
2 x 22/7 x r = 44
44/7 x r = 44
Divide through by 44/7
r = 44 ÷ 44/7
r = 44 x 7/44
r =7cm
The diameter of a circle = 2 x
radius, r.
= 2 x 7cm
= 14cm.
2. The circumference of a Circle is 44cm. Find its diameter.
SOLUTION
Circumference = 2πr
2∏r = 44cm
2 x 22/7 x r = 44
44/7 x r = 44
Divide through by 44/7
r = 44 ÷ 44/7
r = 44 x 7/44
r =7cm
The diameter of a circle = 2 x
radius, r.
= 2 x 7cm
= 14cm.
TRIANGLE
EXAMPLE: Find the perimeter of these triangles:
Solution 5cm
i. Equilateral triangles has equal sides.
Perimeter = 5cm x 3 sides = 15cm
ii. Perimeter of the triangle = 12cm + 5cm + 13cm
= 30cm
PERIMETER OF A REGULAR/IRREGULAR POLYGON
The simplest way to find a perimeter of any regular shape is to measure it directly with a ruler. Or tape
measure.
Examples:
1. Find, in cm the perimeter of the regular hexagon ABCDEF in Fig. 1.0.
A B
C D
E F
Length of side AB = 1.6 cm.
There are 6 equal sides, so
Perimeter = 6 × 1.6cm
=9.6 cm
If a shape has a curved side, use a piece of thread to get the shape of the curve. Make the thread to get
the shape of the curve. Make the thread straight and measure its length against a ruler.
2. Measure the Perimeter of the shape in fig 2.0

(a) (b)
(c) (d)
PERIMETER OF A SQUARE
A square is a regular four- sided shape. If the length of one side of a square is l, then,
Perimeter of square = l × 4 = 4l
As perimeter of square =4l ,
Length of side of square = perimeter of a square/4
Examples
(1) Calculate the perimeter of a square of side 12.3cm.
Solution
Perimeter = 12.3cm × 4
Perimeter = 49.2 cm
(2) A square assembly area has a perimeter of 56m. Find the length of the assembly area.
Solution
Length = 56
4
= 14m.
Note: The formulae for perimeters of rectangles and squares can be useful. However, if you find it difficult
to remember formulae, always sketch the given shape and work from that.
PERIMETER OF RECTANGLES
The longer side of a rectangle is called length , and the shorter side is called breath . We use the letter l
and b to stand for the length and the breath.
length
breath breath

4cm
Solution:
Perimeter of the rectangular bottom
= 2(L + B)
=2 (4 + 2)
=2X6
= 12cm
Perimeter of the triangular top
Solution:
Let the unknown side be x. By Pythagoras’s rule;
x² = 3² + 4²
X² = 9 +16
X² = 25
X = √25cm
X = 5cm
PARALLELOGRAM
Perimeter of a parallelogram = x + y + x + y = 2 (x + y)
EXAMPLE 5: The perimeter of a parallelogram is 48cm. If one side is 15cm, find the adjacent side.
Solution
Perimeter = 48cm, x = 15cm, y= adjacent side.
Perimeter = 2(x+y)
48 = 2( 15 + y). Divide both sides by 2:
24 = 15+y
24 – 15 = y
Y = 9cm
Therefore the adjacent side = 9cm.

types of scales shown on a protractor, one is clockwise scale and the other is anticlockwise scale as shown
above.
Example

SOLUTION
a. Place the centre point, O, of the protractor on the vertex (i.e. where the two arms of the angle
meet) in such a way that the zero line of the protractor coincides with line OA of the angle. You

IDENTIFICATION OF ANGLES: When two lines meet at a point, they form an angle. An angle is defined as
the amount that one line turns through to meet the other line.
C
A
B
The point B where two lines AB and CB meet is called the vertex. Lines AB and BC are called the arms of
the angle. If the direction (turning) of a line is same as the direction of a clock then such rotation is called
clockwise rotation. If the direction is in the opposite direction it is called as anti-clockwise or counter -
clockwise rotation. In the drawing above, the angle at point B can be expressed as A ^ BC or
^B or ‹ ABC∨‹ CBA .(teacher to explain these notations ).
(ii). Properties of angles.
Definitions:
(i) Any line drawn across set of parallel lines is referred to as a transversal.
(ii) Angles are said to be supplementary if their sum gives two right angles ( 1800 )
(iii) Angles are said to be complementary if their sum gives one right angle ( 90 0 ) .
When a transversal cuts across a set of parallel lines we have the following three principles or
laws of angles in display: Corresponding angles, Alternate angles, Co-Interior or Allied angles.
Notes: Corresponding angles are equal. Alternate angles are equal, but Co-interior or allied
angles are supplementary. These three laws require parallelism.

Vertically opposite angles are equal. Hence, <XOV = <UOY; <XOU = <VOY.
CLASS ACTIVITY

b. What do you notice?
Adjacent angles on a straight line
In the diagram below, <XOY is a straight line, <XOZ and <YOZ lie next to each other, and they
are referred to as adjacent angles on a straight line. In other words, when two angles lie beside each
other and have a common vertex, we say they are adjacent to each other.
Z
a b
X Y
Since the sum of angles on a straight line is 1800, <XOZ + <YOZ = 1800 . i.e. a + b = 1800
The sum of adjacent angles on a straight line is 1800 .
CLASS ACTIVITY
a. Use your protractor to measure angles labeled a and b.
b. Add angles a and b. What do you notice?

CLASS ACTIVITY
(i). what do you understand by the following principles?
Corresponding angles
Alternate angles
Co-Interior or Allied angles
Vertically opposite angles
Sum of angles on a straight line
Angles at a point.
(ii) Make rough sketches to explain them.
THE SUM OF ANGLES IN A TRIANGLE IS 1800 .
To show this, draw line LM through the top vertex of the triangle, parallel to the base BC. Label each angle
as shown in the diagram below.
L d e M
a
b c
B C
From the above diagram:
b=d (alternate angles)
c=e (alternate angles)
But d + a + e = 1800 (sum of angles on a straight line)
Since d + e = b + c
Hence: a + b + c = d + a + e = 1800
Thus, the sum of angles of a triangle = 1800 .
Worked Example
Find the size of angle x in this triangle
x
640 880
Solution
x + 640 + 880 = 1800 (sum of angles in a triangle)
x + 1520 = 1800
x = 1800 – 1520 = 280

PURPOSE OF STATISTICS
Definition
Statistics is a branch of science that is concerned with the methods of collecting, organizing, presenting
and analyzing data for a specific purpose.
Information in raw or unorganized form (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or
represent, conditions, ideas, or objects. Data is limitless and present everywhere in the universe.
Statistics is the branch of mathematics, which deals with the study of data. It involves:
Examples include
1) The Daily Export Report of barrels of petrol enables the government of Nigeria to plan the
budgets. This is called economic planning.
2) Statistics about the availability of potable drinkable water can inform State and District planners
whether or not to budget for pumps and pipelines.
3) Statistics about the trend in school enrolment could inform the school management about the
schools where urgent expansions are needed.
4) Statistics about the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among the citizenry could inform the relevant agency
as to how to arrest the spread of the virus/disease.
Class Activity:
A shop keeper makes record of his sales for the day. The records are as shown in the table below. This is
an example of statistics used for planning purpose/decision making.
If you were the shop keeper, which size would you plan to buy more on the following day? Give reasons.
Collection of data from time to time helps to analyze situations. For example, statistics shows that malaria
is responsible for about half the deaths of African children under the age of five. The minister of health in
Nigeria revealed that the number of tuberculosis in Nigeria increased from 31 264 in 2002 to 90 307 in
2008. The number of people who died of Aids in South Africa in 2007 is about 350 000. This means Aids
claimed nearly 1000 lives every day.
Example 2:
The table below shows a survey of the favorite subjects of students in basic 2.
Solution:
i. From the table above, English is the favourite subject of the girls.
ii. 30 boys like maths, while 25 girls like maths. Therefore, 5 more boys than girls like maths.
iii. The total number of girls = 35 + 25 + 15 =75
The fraction of the girls that like maths = no of girls who like maths
The total number of girls
25 1
= =

X 100
iv. The percentage of the students that are girls = total number of girls
total number of students
= 150 students

The statistical charts and tables we do see on television and in the newspapers (or magazines), provide
useful information which can be used to make forecast and predictions for the future. For example, the
number of students enrolment in secondary and post secondary schools this year can help the
government plans the number of new jobs to be created in five years’ time.
Example 3:
A food seller collects the following sales data for the week.
Will you support her decision to stop selling tuwo and yam? On what prediction do you think she based
her decision?
CLASS ACTIVITY:
1. If your village played with another village 10 times in the past, with 9 wins and 1 loss, what is your
prediction for the next match?
2. Give some reasons why you think a school principal should know the number of students in
his school?
Since statistics cannot exist without data, you will need to collect data first. Collection of data involves
counting and recording data clearly in a way that is useful.
EXAMPLE
Teacher should write down the names of students in his/her class against their individual ages.
CLASS ACTIVITY
1. Find out the number of students in your school. Make a table to show the number of students in
each level.
2. How many males and female students do you have in your school?
3. How many male and female teachers are in your school?
DATA PRESENTATION
RANK-ORDERED LIST
Rank order means arranging data values from the highest to the lowest.
EXAMPLE
Solution
A, A, B, B, B, B, C, C, C, C, C, D, D, D, D, E, E, F
FREQUENCY TABLE
A frequency table shows the number of times a value appears. A frequency table can be prepared for a
give data set data either vertically or horizontally.
EXAMPLE
In a class of 30 students seated in six rows of five students each, the class monitor records the following
dates of births, row by row.
Wed. Thur. Sun. Tue Fri.
Solution:
Two students were asked to collect data about the type of vehicles, as they passed by. The data collected
were presented in two different ways, as follows:
A. Car, Lorry, Lorry, Motorcycle, Car, Motorcycle Bicycle, Bus, Lorry, Car, Bus, Bus, Bus.
Bus 1111 4
Bicycle 1 1
Lorry 111 3
Car 111 3
Motorcycle 11 2
13
The first student presented his data by listing the vehicles as they pass by. This method is not very
reliable. The method adopted by the second student is the best because he cannot miss any vehicle in his
recording, especially by ‘TALLY’.
GRAPHS: a graph is a pictorial representation of statistical data clearly. Graphs are often more helpful
than list or tables. For this stage, Graphs include:
a) Pictogram
b) Bar Chart
c) Pie chart
PICTOGRAM
In a pictogram, pictures
represent the frequency of

PIE CHART
In a pie chart, a circle represents all the data, and the sizes of its sectors are proportional to each
item.
Examples:
Cows

Solution
a) Cows = 180o
Goats = 120o
Sheep = 60o
180
b) Number of cows = ×120=60 cows

Mean (listed and tabulated data values)
Median
Mode of given set of data
DETERMINING THE MEAN OF A GIVEN SET OF DATA
The mean sometimes called the arithmetic mean is the most common average.
If there are n numbers in a set, then
Mean = sum of numbers in the set/n.
When the set of data is tabulated, we use the formula: Ʃfx/Ʃf
Example: In a class test, a student had the following marks:
13, 17, 18, 8, 10. What is the average mark?
Solution:
Average (mean) =
∑ of numbers∈a set
n
13+17+18+8+ 10
=
5
66
=
5
= 13.2
Example 2: A hockey team has played eight games and has a mean score of 3.5 goals per game. How
many goals has the team scores?
Solution:
No of goals
Mean score =
No of games
no of goals
1.5 =
8
Multiply both sides by 8
3.5 ×8 = total number of goals
28 = total number of goals
MEAN: Mean simply refers to the middle item when the set of data is arranged in the right order.
When the number of item is odd, the median will be a single item. When the number of items is
even, two items will fall in the middle. In such case, the sum of the two items is obtained and divided
by two.
Example 1:
Find the median of these numbers:
13, 15, 14, 12, 13, 15, 16, 10, 12, 14
Solution
Arrange the numbers in order of magnitude starting with the smallest value:
10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 16
4 value middle values 4 values
Add the two middle numbers and divide the result by 2
Median = sum of the two middle number

= 13 + 14 = 13

Example 2:
Find the median of 8.4, 7.8, 6.2, 13.4, 12.6, 10.5
Solution
Arrange the set of numbers in order of size
6.2, 7.8, 8.4, 10.5, 12.6, 13.4
There are 6 numbers. The median is the mean of the 3rd and 4th numbers.
Median = 8.4 + 10.5 = 18.9 = 9.45

MODE
The mode is the most frequent score in our data set. On a histogram it represents the highest bar in a
bar chart or histogram. You can, therefore, sometimes consider the mode as being the most popular
option. An example of a mode is presented below:
ASSIGNMENT
1. Find the mean, mode and median of the following set of numbers
a) 6,2,3,5,2,4,1,6,2
b) 1,3,2,4,5,3,3,2
