Answer key for parents & teachers (24 questions)
  1. A LINE extends in:Two directions, infinitely. A line has NO endpoints — it extends infinitely in BOTH directions.
  2. A LINE SEGMENT has:Two endpoints. A line segment has exactly TWO endpoints — it starts and stops at specific points.
  3. A RAY has:One endpoint and goes on forever in one direction. A ray has ONE endpoint (where it starts) and extends infinitely in ONE direction.
  4. An ANGLE is formed by:Two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex). An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint called the VERTEX.
  5. The VERTEX of an angle is:The shared endpoint where the two rays meet. The vertex is the SHARED endpoint — the "corner" where both rays of the angle originate.
  6. Which is the MIDDLE letter in the angle name ∠ABC?B (the vertex). In ∠ABC, the middle letter (B) is always the VERTEX. A and C are points on the two rays.
  7. Clock hands at 3:00 form what type of angle?Right (= 90°). At 3:00, the minute hand points up (12) and hour hand points right (3), forming a 90° RIGHT ANGLE.
  8. Which does NOT have endpoints?Line. A LINE has no endpoints — it goes on forever in both directions. Line segments and rays do have at least one endpoint.
  9. PARALLEL lines:Never intersect. Parallel lines NEVER intersect — they are always the same distance apart and go in the same direction.
  10. PERPENDICULAR lines:Intersect at exactly 90°. Perpendicular lines intersect at EXACTLY 90° — they form a right angle where they cross.
  11. Which real-world object shows PARALLEL lines?Railroad tracks. Railroad tracks run side by side, always the same distance apart — they are parallel!
  12. Which real-world object shows PERPENDICULAR lines?The corner of a room (wall meets floor). A wall meeting a floor at a corner forms a 90° angle — perpendicular!
  13. A rectangle has how many pairs of PARALLEL sides?2. A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel sides: top∥bottom and left∥right.
  14. The symbol for PERPENDICULAR is:. ⊥ is the symbol for perpendicular. ∥ is the symbol for parallel.
  15. The symbol for PARALLEL is:. ∥ is the symbol for parallel. It looks like two parallel vertical lines!
  16. Two lines that cross each other but NOT at 90° are called:Intersecting lines (not perpendicular). Lines that cross at an angle other than 90° are just INTERSECTING lines — neither parallel nor perpendicular.
  17. A line of symmetry divides a shape into:Two mirror-image halves. A line of symmetry creates two halves that are MIRROR IMAGES of each other — if you fold on the line, they match exactly.
  18. How many lines of symmetry does a square have?4. A square has 4 lines of symmetry: 2 through midpoints of opposite sides, and 2 through opposite corners.
  19. How many lines of symmetry does a circle have?Infinite. A circle has INFINITE lines of symmetry — any diameter (line through the center) is a line of symmetry!
  20. How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle (non-square) have?2. A non-square rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry — one horizontal through the midpoints, one vertical through the midpoints. NOT the diagonals!
  21. How can you test if a line is a line of symmetry?Fold the shape on the line — if both halves match exactly, it is a line of symmetry. The FOLD TEST: fold the shape on the proposed symmetry line. If both halves overlap perfectly, it IS a line of symmetry.
  22. The letter "A" has a line of symmetry. Which direction is it?Vertical (down the middle). The letter A has VERTICAL symmetry — a line from the top point straight down divides it into two mirror halves.
  23. Which letter has NO line of symmetry?F. F has no line of symmetry — no matter how you fold it, the two halves do not match. H, M, and O all have at least one line of symmetry.
  24. An equilateral triangle (all sides equal) has how many lines of symmetry?3. An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry — one from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
