Interesting Triangle Facts :)


    Triangles are polygons with the least possible number of sides (three).

    The three internal angles of a triangle always add to 180 degrees.

    An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles.

    An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles.

    A scalene triangle has no sides of equal length and no equal angles.

    A right angle triangle has one angle that is 90 degrees.

    An obtuse triangle has one angle larger than 90 degrees.

    An acute triangle has angles that are all less than 90 degrees.

    The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse, it is always found opposite the right angle.

    Trigonometry is the study of the relationship between the angles of triangles and their sides.

    Triangle shapes are often used in construction because of their great strength.

Free Math Worksheets for Kids - Number System

Nowadays, the South Asian numbering system, is used  in the Indian subcontinent
(comprising India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal). It  is based on the Vedic numbering system.
This system groups numbers by two places, rather than the three places which is common in most parts  of the world. The terms lakh and crore are widely used today in India and Pakistan.

In India, the South Asian numbering system is referred to as the Indian system of numbers.
In the International system of numbering, numbers are grouped in threes. Most of the business
transactions and International dealing are done using the International system of numbers.
 There is no lakh or crore in the International system instead there is million and billion.

A 5th class child can use the support of this worksheet to visually and logically understand the
relationship between the Indian and International system of numbers. There are two systems of numbering which are commonly used. They are the South Asian and International system of numbering.
