What makes a square different from a rectangle? — Squares have 4 equal sides.A square has 4 EQUAL sides. A rectangle only needs opposite sides to be equal.
What is a "vertex" (plural: vertices)? — A corner where two sides meet.A vertex is a corner — the point where two sides of a shape meet!
Which attribute would NOT help you tell a rectangle apart from a triangle? — Color.Color does not help identify the shape type — it is a non-defining attribute.
True or False: A big blue square and a small red square are both squares. — True.True! Both have 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. Color and size are non-defining attributes.
Shape A has 3 sides. Shape B has 4 sides. Can they be the same type of shape? — No, number of sides is a defining attribute.No! Different numbers of sides mean different types of shapes — sides are a defining attribute.
Which attribute do all quadrilaterals share? — Exactly 4 sides and 4 corners.ALL quadrilaterals have exactly 4 sides and 4 corners — that is what "quadrilateral" means!
Which pair of shapes BOTH have exactly 3 corners? — Triangle and equilateral triangle.Both a triangle and an equilateral triangle have 3 corners — they are both triangles!
A shape has 5 sides. It is yellow and small. Which is its DEFINING attribute? — It has 5 sides.The number of sides (5) is the defining attribute. Color (yellow) and size (small) can change!
Two identical right triangles placed together (mirror image) make what shape? — A rectangle or parallelogram.Two right triangles flipped and joined along their longest side form a rectangle!
What move can you do to a shape to help it fit with another shape? — Flip, slide, or turn it.You can FLIP (reflect), SLIDE (translate), or TURN (rotate) a shape to make it fit!
Which shapes can be combined to make a pentagon? — A square and a triangle.A square (4 sides) with a triangle placed on top creates a 5-sided pentagon-like shape!
Why must the pieces fit together without gaps or overlaps? — So the composite shape is solid and complete.Gaps or overlaps mean the pieces do not truly form a complete new shape!
Can one big triangle be made from two smaller triangles? — Yes, by flipping one and placing them together.Yes! Two identical right triangles placed with their hypotenuses together make a larger triangle!
A robot is built from 2 squares (body and head) and 4 rectangles (arms and legs). How many shapes were used? — 6.2 squares + 4 rectangles = 6 shapes total.
When combining shapes, where should edges be placed? — Aligned along a full edge (side-to-side).Shapes should be joined along a full edge — side to side — for a proper composite shape!
A pizza is cut into 4 pieces but 2 pieces are big and 2 are small. Are these quarters? — No, the pieces must be equal size.Quarters MUST be equal parts! Unequal cuts do not make true quarters.
Lisa ate 1/4 of her pizza. How much is left? — 3/4.She ate 1/4, so 4/4 − 1/4 = 3/4 remains. Three-quarters are left!
True or False: A quarter of something is bigger than a half of the same thing. — False.False! 1/4 < 1/2. More equal parts = smaller pieces. Quarters are smaller than halves!
If you cut a square in half diagonally, what shape are the two pieces? — Two triangles.Cutting a square diagonally from corner to corner creates two equal triangles!
A cake has 4 equal pieces. Tom eats 2 pieces. What fraction did he eat? — 1/2.Tom ate 2 out of 4 equal pieces = 2/4 = 1/2. He ate half the cake!
Sarah cuts a circle into fourths. She colors 3 parts. What fraction is colored? — 3/4.3 parts colored out of 4 equal parts = 3/4 (three-fourths)!
Which fraction shows the whole (everything)? — 4/4.4 out of 4 parts = 4/4 = 1 whole — all parts together make the whole!
A whole apple is cut into 4 equal pieces. You eat 1 piece. What fraction remains? — 3/4.4/4 − 1/4 = 3/4. Three-quarters of the apple remain!
