Vocabulary

solid figure-a figure that has length, width, and height

rectangular prism- a solid figure with faces that are rectangles

cube- a solid figure with six faces that are congruent squares

pyramid- a solid figure whose base is a polygon and whose faces are triangles with a common point

cylinder- a solid figure with two congruent circles as bases

cone- a solid figure with a circle as its base and a curved surface that meets at a point

sphere- a solid figure in the shape of a ball

face- a flat surface of a solid that does not roll

edge- a line segment where two faces of a solid figure meet

vertex- the point where two rays meet to form an angle.  The points where the sides of a polygon meet.  The points where 3 or more edgesmeet in a solid figure that does not roll.  The pointed part of a cone.

vertices- The points where the sides of a polygon meet.  The points where 3 or more edges meet in a solid figure that does not roll.  The pointed part of a cone.

point- an exact position often marked by a dot

line- a straight path of points that is endless in both directions 

triangle- a polygon with 3 sides

polygon- a closed figure made up of straight line segments

side- a line segment forming part of a polygon

ray- a part of a line that has one endpoint and continues endlessly in one direction

angle- a figure formed by two rays that have the same endpoint

right angle- an angle that forms a  square corner

octagon- a polygon with 8 sides

lines- more than one straight path of points that is endless in both directions

acute angle- an angle that is open less than a right angle

obtuse angle- an angle that is open more than a right angle

parallel lines- lines that never intersect

line segment- a part of a line that has two endpoints

quadrilateral- a polygon with 4 sides

pentagon- a polygon with 5 sides

hexagon- a polygon with 6 sides

intersecting lines- lines that cross at one point

decagon-a polygon with ten sides

perpendicular lines- two lines that intersect to form right angles

equilateral triangle- a triangle with all sides the same length

isosceles triangle- a triangle with at least two sides the same length

scalene triangle- a triangle with no sides the same length

right triangle- a triangle with one right angle

acute triangle- a triangle with three acute triangles

obtuse triangle- a triangle with one obtuse angle

trapezoid- a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides

parallelogram- a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel

rectangle- a quadrilateral with four right angles

rhombus- a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and all sides the same length

square- a quadrilateral with four right angles and all sides the same length.

congruent- the same size and shape

flip/reflection- the change in the position that picks up and moves to give a mirror image

slide/translation- the change in the position of a figure that moves it up, down, or sideways

turn/rotation- the change in the position of a figure that moves it around a point

line of symmetry- a line on which a figure can be folded so that both parts match exactly

symmetric figure- a figure that has at least one line of symmetry

perimeter-the distance around a figure

area-the number of square ubits needed to cover a region

square unit-a square with sides 1 unit long, used to measure area

volume-the number of cubic units needed to fill a solid figure

tessellation-a pattern made of identical shapes

cubic unit-a cube with edges 1 unit long, used to measure volume
