“There are three kinds of truth: facts, evidence, and statistics.” – Benjamin Disraeli That’s the reason why statistics are employed in every arena of this world. Whether in business, education, or science, statistics have proved useful everywhere. This branch of applied math involves different types of tests to analyze and interpret quantitative data. Learning statistics … Read more
In the scope of geometry, angles are fundamental elements that dictate the relationships between lines and shapes. Among these, supplementary angles hold a significant place. They represent a unique connection, presenting a pairing that adds up to a perfectly straight line. In this write-up, we will explore what supplementary angles mean, delve into their properties … Read more
We have been talking a lot about real-life examples lately. It’s so interesting to see how different mathematical concepts serve a purpose in our daily lives and how uniquely they manifest in the things around us, often without us realizing it. After a handful of posts on real-world examples of isosceles triangles, hexagons, sets, and … Read more
Our surroundings are adorned with many geometrical shapes and figures. These shapes are significant in terms of their unique properties which serve an important role in different applications. Often overlooked in the world of shapes, the rhombus stands out among the numerous attractive forms because of its distinctive qualities and adaptability among the quadrilateral family. … Read more
Geometry is a vast subject entailing various subtopics like squares, rectangles, etc. One of them which tends to confuse students is triangles. This is because, unlike squares and rectangles, which present themselves as just one type, triangles are segregated into different types. Based on the sides, we have equilateral triangles, scalene triangles, and isosceles triangles. … Read more
We live in a world where shapes meet substance, and geometry forms an inseparable part of things around us. The real-life examples prove so. Give a glance at your surroundings, and you will find that every entity is adorned with one or the other geometrical shape, such as squares, trapezoids, and other quadrilaterals. While several … Read more
Imagine the confusion in our lives if it wasn’t possible for us to organize things. One of the key aspects of organizing is creating sets of similar objects or items and putting them together in one place. This brings us to today’s topic of discussion – Sets and their application in our lives. Students get … Read more
2,4,6,8,10,12, … Look at these numbers. Did you notice the numbers follow a particular sequence? If you subtract any two consecutive numbers from the list, you will get a difference of 2. 4 – 2 = 2 6 – 4 = 2 8 – 6 = 2 10 – 8 = 2 12 – 10 … Read more
Look around yourself. How many objects with four sides and a closed shape can you find? All these objects you have identified are nothing but what we call “quadrilateral” in mathematical language. So, conceptually, a quadrilateral is any closed polygon with four sides. These two-dimensional figures can either be regular (congruent sides are equal) or … Read more
Enter the realm of scientific curiosity, where the experimental approach reigns supreme! This approach has left an indelible mark on our understanding of the world and its influence extends to the realm of teaching. Gone are the days of passive absorption of information. Instead, students become enthusiastic investigators, donning lab coats and wielding magnifying glasses … Read more
