Introduction
Definition of terms:
Formula - a mathematical rule expressed in a set of numbers and
letters. It can also be defined as a concise way of expressing
information symbolically.
Example:
Expression - The definition of an expression in math is a
statement composed of terms and operations. The terms may be
constant (numbers), or variables with coefficients. The
operations may be addition, subtraction, multiplication, or
division.
Example: 2x + 3y
Function - Expresses a relationship between two or more
variables.
Example: y = 2x
Equation: a mathematical statement that shows two amounts
are equal using mathematical symbols.

Example: 3x - 3 = 15
1. Averages
Example: The marks obtained by 8 students in a class test are 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 10, 11,
and19. Use the mean formula and find out what is the mean of the marks obtained by
the students?
Solution:
• Total marks obtained by 8 students in class test = (12 + 14 + 16 +
18 + 20 + 10 + 11 + 19) = 120
Using the mean formula,
Mean = (Sum of terms) ÷ (Total numbers of terms) = 120/8 = 15
• Therefore, the mean of marks obtained by 8 students is 15.

4.Probability
Calculating probability
Formula:
Example: There are 6 pillows in a bed, 3 are red, 2 are yellow and 1 is
blue. What is the probability of picking a yellow pillow?
Solution: The probability is equal to the number of yellow pillows in the bed
divided by the total number of pillows,
i.e. 2/6 = 1/3.

ii. Area and perimeter of a square
Formula:
Example: If the length of the side of a square is 11cm. Then find its area and also find the total
length of its boundary.
Solution:
Given, length of the side, a = 11 cm
Area = a^2 = 112 = 121 sq.cm

iii. Area and perimeter of a triangle
Formula
12
iv. Area and perimeter of circle
Formula:
• Example:
• If the radius of a circle is 21cm. Find its area and circumference.
• Solution:
• Given, radius = 21cm
• Therefore, Area = π × r2
• A = 22/7 × 21 × 21
• A = 1386 sq.cm.
• Circumference, C = 2πr
• C = 2 x 22/7 x 21 = 132 cm
