In its efforts to partner parents in education to support the children’slearning of Math, the Math department will continue with its efforts toprovide parents with the just in time Math Misconception Fact Sheet for alllevels prior to semestral assessments.

The Math Misconception Fact Sheet is a collation of the misconceptions ofvarious Math concepts and the common errors made by the pupils in theirmath learning. It identifies the areas of concern and aims to assist parents insupporting their children in their revision for the semestral assessments.

The Math teachers will continue to correct the pupils' misconceptions andalert them of the common errors made during lessons.

Math Misconception Fact Sheet

Pupils are unable to select the correct dimensions to help them to find the area of the triangle.

Eg. Find the area of the triangle.

Area of triangle = 2

1 x 15 cm x 5 cm

= 37.5 cm²

OR


1 x 9 cm x 7 cm

= 31.5 cm²

Eg. Find the area of the triangle.
