There is a great deal of vocabulary that students need to understand in order to effectively converse about 2-D geometry. Here are the terms we have discussed so far:
- Polygon
- Point
- Line
- Line Segment
- Perpendicular Lines
- Parallel Lines
- Right Angle
- Acute Angelo
- Obtuse Angle
- Triangle
- Quadrilateral
- Pentagon
- Hexagon
- Heptagon / Septagon
- Octagon
- Decagon
We'll be adding to this list often as we explore further geometric ideas. Ask your 4th grader to explain these terms to you!
