, Explanation of main themes in this paper:
1. General questions
• Mathematical terms and definitions (radius, circumference, diameter, floor
plan, geometric figure)
• Scaling factor and multiplication of recipes
• Conversions between units (ml to g, ml to teaspoons, Celsius to
Fahrenheit)
• Basic map reading and direction finding
2. Maps and plans
• Scale types and interpretation
• Calculating distances from maps and floor plans
• Determination of perimeter and area from scale drawings
• Calculation of travel time and toll costs
3. Measurement
• Calculation of surfaces (walls, doors, windows)
• Calculation of painting area and costs
• Calculation of volume (cylinders) and capacity in liters
• Percentage of capacity (e.g. 90% full)
• Labor costs and rate adjustments (normal rate, weekend rate)
4. Integrated Applications – Production and Packaging
• Calculating ribbon length and number of items that can be decorated
• Minimum dimensions for packaging
• Total cost of packaging
• Calculation of volume and reuse of material
• Tree diagrams and probability
5. Integrated applications – Travel, accommodation and odds calculation
• Fuel consumption, costs and comparison of means of transport
• Scale drawings of rooms and floor areas
• Calculating number of tiles and cost
• Percentage of floor covered by carpet
• Probability calculation in games (percentage, decimal, verification of
probability)
