Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acute Angle | An angle that measures more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees |
| Vertex | a corner point where two or more straight lines, sides, or edges meet in a shape. |
| Ray | a part of a line that has a fixed starting point but no endpoint. It can extend infinitely in one direction |
| Protractor | a tool used to measure angles |
| Degrees | Unit of measurement for temperature and angles. |
| counter clockwise | the opposite direction in which a clock moves |
| parallel lines | Lines that never cross and stay the same distance apart |
| Line | a geometric figure that extends forever in both directions |
| obtuse angle | an angle that measures more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees |
| Parallelogram | a four-sided shape (quadrilateral) where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. |
| Line Segment | a geometric figure that has two end points |
| Rectangle | a four-sided flat shape (a quadrilateral) that has four right angles |
| Line of Symmetry | an imaginary line that divides a 2D shape into two identical, matching halves that are mirror images of each other |
| Perpendicular | two straight lines that meet or intersect (cross) to form a right angle |
| Straight angle | An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees |
| Intersecting lines | Two straight lines that meet or cross |
| Square | a flat, 2D shape (a polygon) that has four straight, equal-length sides and four right angles (90-degree corners) |
| Right Angle | An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees |
| Point | a precise location or position in space, represented by a tiny dot and labeled with a capital letter |
| Trapezoid | a four-sided flat shape (quadrilateral) that has exactly one pair of parallel sides |
| Rhombus | a four-sided flat shape (quadrilateral) where all four sides are the same length |
| Clockwise | the direction in which the hands of a clock move, starting from the top and going to the right, down, and around |
