Worksheets (10 total):
Students apply geometry vocabulary in a variety of fun and challenging ways, including:
-
Solving riddles using geometry terms
-
Completing geometry vocabulary tables
-
Identifying and labeling right, obtuse, and acute triangles
-
Matching geometry terms to their definitions
-
Drawing geometry terms and identifying types of angles
-
Classifying parallel and perpendicular lines in polygons
-
True/false questions about geometry properties
-
Counting vertices, sides, and angles in shapes
Emoji Math Sort:
Students use smile and frown emojis to determine whether geometry terms are identified correctly on task cards. A self-checking and engaging review of vocabulary and properties.
Triangle Sort:
Students sort triangles into categories of right triangles and not right triangles. This low-prep activity is ideal for reinforcing basic geometry classification skills.
Game #1: Garage Mystery with Clues
Students read a list of geometry-based clues to determine where each item belongs in the garage. They must use their knowledge of shapes, lines, and angles to place each correctly—like a math detective!
Game #2: Build a Beach
Students build their beach scenes by earning beach items for each correct answer. Chance cards keep the game exciting and unpredictable. All task cards focus on identifying acute, obtuse, and right angles.
Game #3: Whole-Class Game – Bucket Filler!
Students rotate around the room solving geometry task cards. When they submit a correct answer, they drop their card into the classroom bucket. Winners are drawn at random for small prizes, encouraging participation and accuracy.
Geometry Terms Included
Students will learn and apply all foundational geometry vocabulary:
line, line segment, endpoint, ray, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, intersecting lines, angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, right angle, open figure, closed figure, plane figure, polygon, side, vertex, opposite sides, adjacent sides, circle, triangle, quadrilateral, square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, kite, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, irregular polygon, and congruent.
