Geometry Vocabulary

We started off our geometry unit discussing new vocabulary terms. We talked about points, lines, line segments, intersecting lines, parallel lines and rays. After we took notes on each, we took out the tape to display our learning. But we didn't stop there! We used our bodies to explain each of our new vocabulary words! Groups then were assigned a different term to define on our website and create picture captions. Here's what they came up with!


 

Intersecting lines are lines that cross and go on forever. 

Elijah, Kobe,  and Ella did the intersecting  lines. They made a big X by overlapping.

A line is a straight path that extends forever in opposite directions.

The people who did the line were Mari, Jonah, Bethany, and Brett. They had two arrows and one line.

A Parallel Line

A parallel line is two lines that are always the same distance away.

Our class is showing us what a parallel line is because they are always the same distance apart.

Line Segment

A line segment has a point at one end, a line in the middle, and a point at the other end. A line segment never goes on.  A line segment is a part of a line between two points.

Cody is the line, Courtney and Austin are points.

A ray is a line that starts at an endpoint and continues on forever in one direction.

Aidren was the arrow.

Ameila was the line.

Genna was the point .

A point is a dot that starts and ends a line segment. A period for example is point. 

This is a point.   . Makenna, Jacob, and MJ (MaryJane) are folding down into a tornado position to act like a point. They are trying to show what a point looks like. There are more than 1,000 kind of points in the world. Here are a couple. A period, a on button, a button and your eye. 

This is line segment BM.

This is ray AM.
