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.

P5/P6 Math: Overlapping Areas of 2 Shapes
The concept of overlapping shapes requires ratio knowledge, constant difference and knowing that the overlapped area is the same value for both individual shapes.
Such questions usually appear in Paper 2 of P5 and P6 exams.
Calculator usage is allowed.

P5/P6 Math: Stacked Rectangles with Overlapping Triangle
A few identical smaller rectangles are stacked(combined) to form a larger rectangle.
From the larger rectangle, a triangle is drawn from the same dimensions, with part of the triangle, overlapping the large rectangle. ( as shown in the question below).Such questions can appear in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 of P5 or P6 Math exams.
Calculator may be allowed if double digit long division needs to be carried out.

P6 Math: Overlapping Areas of 2 Shapes ( Triangle and Rectangle )
This question type presents 2 overlapping shapes.
The areas of both shapes are not given but certain dimensions of the shapes are given.
The question will ask for the area difference between 2 non-overlapped regions.
Such questions are common in both paper 1 and paper 2 of P6 exam papers.
Calculator is allowed if such questions appear in Paper 2.

P5 Math: Overlapping Vertexes/Angles on a Straight Line
Angles are often thought of as easy questions that require little practice.
That is a common misconception of many P5 and P6 students.
Without practice, one will not be able to remember the rules easily.
Questions like these will often appear in Paper 1.
Calculator usage will not be allowed.
