| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Any shape that has only straight lines, no curved lines, all lines meet (no gaps) and no lines cross. Ex: Square, Triangle, Rhombus. | Polygon |
| The distance around a shape. Measure all sides, then add them up. | Perimeter |
| Two lines, side-by-side, that continue on forever and never touch or cross. | Parallel |
| Two lines that touch or cross each other | Intersect |
| A 4-sided polygon that has 2 pairs of parallel sides. EX: A square, the top and bottom are parallel, the two sides are parallel. | Parallelogram |
| A figure that is formed by two rays or two line segments that have the same endpoint. | Angle |
| The amount of surface inside a shape. | Area |
| The amount a container or scale can hold | Capacity |
| The distance around a circle, or its perimeter | circumference |
| Two shapes that are the exact same size and shape. | Congruent figures |
| A solid that has two circular bases that are parallel and the same size. The bases are connected by a curved surface. A can and a paper towel roll are examples. | Cylinder |
| Information that is collected by counting, measuring, asking questions, or observing. | Data |
| The number below the line in a fraction. For examples, in 3/4, 4 is the denominator. | Denominator |
| A line segment that goes through the center or a circle. | Diameter |
| The point at the end of a ray or line segment | Endpoint |
| A triangle with all three sides the same length and all three angles measure the same. | Equilateral triangle |
| An answer that is close to an exact answer. | Estimate |
| Any of the numbers that are multiplied to find a product. For example, in the problem 4X7= 28, 28 is the product and 4 and 7 are the factors. | Factors |
| The study of shapes | Geometry |
| A straight path that goes on forever in both directions. | Line |
| A straight path between two endpoints. Almost like a piece of a line with two dots on the ends. | Line Segment |
| The largest number in a set of data | Maximum |
| The smallest number in a set of data | Minimum |
| The number or value that occurs most often in a set of data | Mode |
| A number that is less than zero | Negative number |
| The number above the line in a fraction. For example, in 3/4, 3 is the numerator. | Numerator |
| An exact location in space. | Point |
| A number that is greater than zero. | Positive number |
| A polygon that has four sides and four angles. The same as quadrilateral. | Quadrangle |
| A line segment that goes from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. | Radius |
| The difference between the biggest (maximum) and the smallest (minimum) numbers in a set of data. | Range |
| A straight path that has one endpoint and goes on forever. | Ray |
| The amount left over when things are divided or shared equally. Sometimes there is no remainder. | Remainder |
| A parallelogram with all four sides the same length. Ex: kite, square | Rhombus |
| A 90 degree angle, its sides form a square corner. | Right angle |
| A triangle with one 90 degree angle. | Right triangle |
| A 4 sided polygon with exactly one pair of parallel sides. | Trapezoid |
| The point where the rays of an angle or the sides of a polygon or the edges of a polyhedron meet. | Vertex |
| The amount of space inside a three-dimensional object. | Volume |
| Whats a fraction | Part of a whole number.Ex:7/8 (seven parts out of eight.) |
