P6 Math: Circle with a Square (2 identical isosceles triangles)

This is a circle question that also requires knowledge of triangles and squares.

The radius is not given but the area of the square or triangle is given.
Students will find it difficult to find the area of the circle due to the missing radius.

Such questions appear in Paper 2 of Prelim papers.
Calculator usage is allowed.

P5/P6 Math: Triangle sharing Base and Height with Rectangle

The area of a triangle are actually expressed as half the area of a rectangle or square.

This above concept requires students to know that regardless of how the triangle looks like, it's area will be half of a rectangle that shares the same base and height as it shares the same length and breadth of a rectangle.

Such questions are common in Paper 1 of P5/P6 exams.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

P5/P6 Math: Figure of 2 Overlapping Triangles

2 overlapping triangles sharing the same base but with different heights shares a common overlapped area.

Such questions requires students to know that the sum of the area of both triangles will definitely be more than the actual area of the figure shown.

Such questions are common in Paper 1 of P5/P6 exam papers.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

P6 Math: Overlapping Triangles (Advanced)

The question presents 2 overlapping triangles sharing the same base but with different heights.

Such questions requires students to understand the concept of "constant difference" on top of knowing how to calculate the basic area of triangle using the known formula.

Such questions may appear in Paper 2 of P6 exams.
Calculator usage is allowed.

P6 Math: Area of Triangle in a Rectangle

A rectangle or square is presented with a triangle inside the shape.
The 3 corners of the triangle are touching the sides of the rectangle/square.

Such questions require students to use the concept that triangle is half of the area of the rectangle/square that it shares its base and height with.

These questions appear can appear in both Paper 1 and in Paper 2.

For the purposes of this practice,
calculator usage is allowed.
