Geometry is a unit filled with vocabulary! It all comes at once, so it can be challenging for children to remember all the different words and meanings.
Ask your mathematician about these words:
polygon
quadrilateral
rectangle
square
triangle
pentagon
prism
rectangular prism
triangular prism
pyramid
cylinder
sphere
cone
vertex
edge
face
parallel
perpendicular
symmetry
congruent
You can even sort these words together!
