Geometry Test Details

On Tuesday we will be having a math test for unit three: geometry.
The following will be covered on the test:
  • Identifying 2D shapes by their attributes (parallel sides, side length, angles)
  • Identifying angles as right angles, less than a right angle or greater than a right angle
  • Identifying shapes: trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, pentagons and hexagons
  • Comparing shapes (how are they the same and different)
  • Congruent shapes
  • Describing 3D figures based on the attributes of edges, vertices and faces
  • Identifying different types of prisms and pyramids
  • Nets

Geometric Figures

Today we began learning about 3 D figures. In small groups we explored different figures and recorded everything we know about them. We mainly focused on the following attributes: number of edges, number of vertices and number of faces.

Give it a try with the figures below!


Geometry Test

Our Geometry unit is just about coming to an end. We are aiming to have a math test on Tuesday December 17. More details to follow!

Congruent Fun!

Find pairs of congruent shapes.
How do you know they are congruent?
