Page 4: Question 3 - Geometry and Angle Relationships
This page presents a geometry problem involving parallel lines and angle relationships within a triangle.
Vocabulary: Co-interior angles are pairs of angles on the same side of a transversal between two parallel lines.
Example: The question provides a diagram with parallel lines and asks students to calculate an unknown angle, requiring them to use various angle properties.
Page 6: Question 5 - Area and Cost Calculation
The final question on this page involves calculating the area of a trapezoidal floor and determining if a given budget is sufficient to purchase the required amount of paint.
Vocabulary: A trapezium (also known as a trapezoid) is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
Example: Students must calculate the area of the trapezium-shaped floor, determine the amount of paint needed, and compare the cost to the given budget.
Page 5: Question 4 - Compound Interest Calculations
This question focuses on compound interest calculations for two different bank accounts over a three-year period.
Definition: Compound interest is interest calculated on the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
Highlight: The problem involves comparing interest earned on two accounts with different interest rates, including a scenario where one account's interest rate changes in the third year.
Page 3: Question 2 - Scatter Graphs and Lines of Best Fit
This question tests students' understanding of scatter graphs and lines of best fit, asking them to identify errors in a given graph.
Definition: A scatter graph is a type of diagram where two variables are plotted against each other, often used to show correlation between data sets.
Highlight: Students are asked to identify two things wrong with the presented scatter graph and line of best fit.
