Answer key for parents & teachers (22 questions)
  1. How many sides does a quadrilateral have? โ€” 4. Quadri means "four" โ€” a quadrilateral always has exactly 4 sides.
  2. Which shape has 4 equal sides AND 4 right angles? โ€” Square. A square has all 4 sides equal AND all 4 angles are 90ยฐ (right angles).
  3. A right angle measures exactly: โ€” 90ยฐ. A right angle is exactly 90ยฐ. It looks like the corner of a square or a piece of paper.
  4. Which quadrilateral has exactly ONE pair of parallel sides? โ€” Trapezoid. A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. Parallelograms, rectangles, and rhombuses all have two pairs.
  5. Is a square a type of rectangle? โ€” Yes, because it has 4 right angles and opposite sides equal. A rectangle needs 4 right angles and opposite sides equal. A square satisfies both โ€” so every square IS a rectangle!
  6. Which shape has opposite sides that are equal and parallel, and 4 right angles, but sides are NOT all equal? โ€” Rectangle. A rectangle has 4 right angles and opposite sides equal and parallel โ€” but the two different side lengths don't have to be equal to each other.
  7. How many pairs of parallel sides does a parallelogram have? โ€” 2. A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides โ€” that's how it gets its name.
  8. What does it mean to "partition" a shape? โ€” To divide it into equal parts. To partition a shape means to divide it into equal parts, each with the same area.
  9. A circle is cut into 4 equal parts. What fraction is each part? โ€” 1/4. 4 equal parts โ†’ each part is 1/4 of the whole circle.
  10. A square is divided into 2 equal parts. What is each part called? โ€” A half. 2 equal parts โ†’ each part is 1/2 (one half) of the whole.
  11. You partition a rectangle into 8 equal parts and shade 3 of them. What fraction is shaded? โ€” 3/8. 3 shaded out of 8 total equal parts = 3/8.
  12. All parts of a partition must be: โ€” The same area. In a valid partition, all parts must have equal AREA. They can have different shapes (like different-shaped pieces of the same size).
  13. A pizza is cut into 6 equal slices. You eat 2 slices. How much of the pizza is left? โ€” 4/6. 6 โˆ’ 2 = 4 slices remain. 4 out of 6 = 4/6 of the pizza is left.
  14. A square is split into 4 equal parts. If you shade 1 part, what fraction is UNshaded? โ€” 3/4. 4 total parts โˆ’ 1 shaded = 3 unshaded parts. 3 out of 4 = 3/4 is unshaded.
  15. If a shape is divided into 3 equal parts, what fraction does each part represent? โ€” 1/3. 3 equal parts means each part = 1/3 of the whole.
  16. What is a unit square? โ€” A square with sides of length 1 unit. A unit square has sides each exactly 1 unit long, so its area = 1 ร— 1 = 1 square unit.
  17. You count 12 unit squares inside a rectangle. What is its area? โ€” 12 square units. Counting 12 unit squares means the area = 12 square units. The unit depends on what size unit you're using.
  18. A rectangle is 4 units long and 3 units wide. How many unit squares fill it? โ€” 12. 4 columns ร— 3 rows = 12 unit squares. Area = l ร— w = 4 ร— 3 = 12 sq units.
  19. Area is measured in: โ€” Square units. Area is always measured in square units (like square cm, square inches, square feet).
  20. A square has sides of 5 units. What is its area? โ€” 25 sq units. Area of a square = side ร— side = 5 ร— 5 = 25 square units.
  21. When filling a shape with unit squares, what TWO rules must you follow? โ€” No gaps, no overlaps. Unit squares must cover the shape with no gaps (empty spaces) and no overlaps (stacking).
  22. A rectangle has 5 rows of unit squares, with 6 squares in each row. What is the area? โ€” 30 sq units. 5 rows ร— 6 per row = 30 unit squares. Area = 30 square units.
