Geometry Vocabulary

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!
