Activity 1 : : Activity 2 : : Activity 3 : : Activity 4 : : Activity 5

In this module, you will learn about spatial reasoning concepts and principles. The geometric concepts you learn will help you to make specific connections and learn to think deductively. This material will assist you in developing your understanding of Geometry at a higher level, and thus you will become a proficient teacher at the elementary grade level.

Activity 1: Key Terms & Definitions

Line segment, angle, point
square, rectangle, cube, circle, sphere, rhombus, trapezoid
area, perimeter, circumference, volume, and surface area
right, acute, and obtuse angles
parallel, perpendicular, alternate interior angles, transversal
congruence and similarity
Pythagorean Theorem and its converse
complementary, supplementary, vertical, and exterior angles
symmetry, rotations, reflections, translations
Sum of the interior angles of a triangle
Substitution property of equality
Subtraction and Addition property of equality

In your notebook for IS Math, continue your glossary section for quick reference.
