Vocabulary Quiz - Geometry: General

This vocabulary quiz is designed to test Year 6 students' knowledge of geometry terms. The first question asks what a quadrant is, with the correct answer being 'the regions separated by the axes on a graph'. The second question explores the concept of symmetry, which is correctly defined as a situation where a central dividing line can be drawn on a shape, showing that both sides are exactly the same. The third question describes a geometric transformation that results in a mirror image, known as a reflection.

Further questions delve into specific geometry terms. For instance, concentric circles are circles of different sizes that share the same centre point. When two shapes or figures are described as having the same shape and size, they are said to be congruent. The term 'translate' in geometry means to move a shape from one place to another without rotating it or changing its size or shape. An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees is known as a right angle. The term 'intersect' refers to the point where two lines cross over each other. A shape that is curved inwards is described as concave. Lastly, a coordinate is defined as two numbers that locate a specific point on a grid.
