SIMPLE EQUATION:
To write this word sentence in the form of a mathematical sentence, we represent the unknown
number by a letter and translate. Hence, we have mathematical sentence:
8 + x = 31
The purpose of showing equality using a balance scale is that whenever two quantities are equal,
the two sides of the scale must balance, just as the two sides of any equation must be the same.
The balance can be maintained if one tin of milk is placed in each scale pan
However, if we place two tins of milk in one pan and one tin of milk in the other, the simple
balance may not be obtained as shown below:
TRANSLATING WORD PROBLEMS INTO SIMPLE EQUATIONS
Example 1:
Six times a number is increased by 5 equals 47. Again, choose a letter, say b, to represent the
unknown number. Then, six times the number is 6b. This number is increased by 5. Thus, we
have 6b + 5. The required mathematical sentence is 6b + 5 = 47
Example 2:
Ola has 6 sweets more than Tope and there are 18 sweets between them. How many sweets does
Tope have?
Solution:
Let x = sweets
x + x = 18 sweets
6 + x + x = 18 sweets
6 + 2x = 18 sweets
2x = 18 – 6
2x = 12
x = 12/2
Examples
1. 4y – 5 = 7
Solution
4y -5 + 5 = 7 + 5
4y = 12
4y/4 = 12/4
Y=3
Solution
5x – 10 = 15x – 60
5x -15 x = -60 + 10
-10x = -50
X = 5.

Teacher’s Activities:
Activity 3: The teacher explains the topic and gives relevant examples
Students’ Activities:
Activity 1: The Students in a group use a sea-saw to illustrate the principle of equality.
Activity 2: The Students in a group to make simple sentences that can be translated into simple
equations.
Activity 4: The Students are to demonstrate the activity with a role play to write the simple
equations.
ASSESSMENT (EVALUATION):
• Eight more than a number results in five less than twice the same number
• The result of taking 3 from the product of x and 4 is the same as taking 7 from 5 times x
• 3a + 4 = 46
• 3a + 1

mistake observed during the assessment.

2. 4c – 8 = 10 – 5c
3. 5x +5 = 35+ 2x

1; charts showing different plane shapes.
CONTENT:
Equilateral Triangles
Triangles with all three sides equal in length and all three angles equal in magnitude, are called
equilateral triangles. Since the angles in a triangle sum to 180° and the size of each angle is the
same in an equilateral triangle, the angles are all 60°.
Isosceles Triangles
Isosceles triangles are triangles with two sides equal in length and two angles equal in
magnitude.
Scalene Triangles
A scalene triangle is one which has no sides equal in length and no angles equal in magnitude.
Right-Angled Triangles
Right-angled triangles are triangles with one of their angles equal to 90° (i.e. a right angle).
QUADRILATERALS
Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four, lateral means side).A Quadrilateral
has four-sides, it is 2-dimensional (a flat shape), closed (the lines join up), and has straight
sides.
Types of Quadrilaterals
Some types are also included in the definition of other types! For example a square, rhombus
and rectangle are also parallelograms.
Quadrilaterals are any four-sided figure, joined by four straight lines, that is, Quadrilaterals are
four-sided polygons.
Properties of Quadrilaterals:
-Four sides.
Things to Know:
-Diagonals are line segments that join two opposite vertices (corners).
-Two sides are adjacent, if they share a common vertex.
A closed planar quadrilateral with opposite sides of equal lengths and , and with four right
angles. A square is a degenerate rectangle with . The area of the rectangle is and its
polygon diagonals and are of length A rectangle is a four-sided shape where every angle is a
right angle (90°). Also opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.
RECTANGLE
RHOMBUS
A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel and all sides the same length, i.e., an
equilateralparallelogram. The word rhomb is sometimes used instead of rhombus, and a rhombus
is sometimes also called a diamond. A rhombus with is sometimes called a lozenge.
(1)
THE RHOMBUS
A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length. Also opposite sides are
parallel and opposite angles are equal.
Another interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines in second figure) meet in the middle
at a right angle. In other words they "bisect" (cut in half) each other at right angles.
A rhombus is sometimes called a rhomb or a diamond.
Rhombus
SQUARE
The term "square" can be used to mean either a square number (" is the square of ") or a
geometric figure consisting of a convex quadrilateral with sides of equal length that are
positioned at right angles to each other as illustrated above. In other words, a square is a regular
polygon with four sides.

THE PARALLELOGRAM
A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Also opposite angles are equal
(angles "a" are the same, and angles "b" are the same).
Parallelogram
Trapezium
Isosceles Trapezium
Kite
KITE
A planar convex quadrilateral consisting of two adjacent sides of length and the other two sides
of length . The rhombus is a special case of the kite, and the lozenge is a special case of the
rhombus. The area of a kite is given by
The Kite
It has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent sides (they
meet) that are equal in length. The angles are equal where the pairs meet. Diagonals (dashed
lines) meet at a right angle, and one of the diagonal bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.
IRREGULAR QUADRILATERALS
The only regular quadrilateral is a square. So all other quadrilaterals are irregular.
(We don't say "Having all 90° angles makes it a rectangle except when all sides are equal then it
is a square.")
This may seem odd, as in daily life we think of a square as not being a rectangle ... but in
mathematics it is.
