Alphabet SymmetryName___________

Directions: Look at the letters of the alphabet. Use a mirror to find if the letter has a vertical symmetry, horizontal symmetry, both or none at all. Draw the lines of symmetry on the letter. Organize the letters according to which ones have reflection symmetry into three groups.

1. The letters that have reflection symmetry with a vertical line of symmetry (like the letter A).

2. The letters that have reflection symmetry with a horizontal line of symmetry (like the letter B).

3. The letters that have reflection symmetry with both vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry (like the letter H).

I am Sponge Blob Hex Pants. I am symmetrical. The Left side of my body is a mirror image of my right

side.

Place a mirror vertically on my body to find my line of

symmetry.

Geometry GolfHow to Play Geometry Golf

1. Find the perimeter around the board to the nearest cm. ____________ cm

2. Find the area of the board in cm. _________ square cm

3. Shuffle cards. Have definition side up.

4. The first player draws the top card. Read the definition. (Do not turn it over yet.)

5. Find the distance from where you are to where you think the answer hole is. Write the cm distance on your sheet of paper.

6. See how many times it takes to hit the circle to the hole. If it goes off the table, add another hit to your score and put the circle back on the board near where it went off.

7. Turn the card over once you reach the hole. Does the card match the hole? If it does not, you must continue hitting the circle to the correct space. Leave the card near the hole.

8. The next player does steps 4 – 7.

9. If you have 2 players then each do 7 holes. If you have 3 players then each will do 5 holes.

10. The winner is the one with the lowest score.

Definition Parallelogram Square Rectangle Rhombus Trapezoid

Parallelogram: A four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides.

Yes

Square: A four-sided polygon having equal-length sides meeting at right angles.

Yes

Rectangle: A four-sided polygon having all right angles.

Yes

Rhombus: A four-sided polygon having all four sides of equal length.

Yes

Trapezoid: A four-sided polygon having exactly one pair of parallel sides

Yes

How many names do I have?

Directions: Help the GBI (Geometric Bureau of Investigation) classify the quadrilateral family. Read the definitions of each quadrilateral and write “Yes” or

“No” if the definition defines other members of the family.
