TermDefinition
Alternate Exterior Angles Congruent pairs of angles formed when a third line (a transversal) crosses two other lines. These angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and are outside the other two lines.
Alternate Interior Angles Congruent pairs of angles formed when a third line (a transversal) crosses two other lines. These angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and are in between the other two lines.
Angle of Rotation The degree of rotation about a fixed point.
Congruent Figures Figures that have the same size and shape.
Corresponding Sides Sides that have the same relative positions in geometric figures.
Corresponding Angles Congruent angles that have the same relative positions in geometric figures.
Dilation Transformation that changes the size of a figure, but not the shape.
Linear Pair Adjacent, supplementary angles. Excluding their common side, they form a straight line.
Reflection A transformation that "flips" a figure.
Rotation A transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point through a given angle and a given direction.
Same-Side Interior Angles Supplementary pairs of angles formed when a third line (a transversal) crosses two other lines. These angles are on the same side of the transversal and are between the other two lines.
Same-Side Exterior Angles Supplementary pairs of angles formed when a third line (a transversal) crosses two other lines. These angles are on the same side of the transversal and are outside the other two lines.
Scale Factor The ratio of any two corresponding lengths of the sides of two similar figures.
Similar Figures Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
Transformation The mapping, or movement, of all the points of a figure in a plane according to a common operation.
Translation A transformation that "slides" each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
