First Nine Weeks Math Study Guide – part one
Topic: Geometry
I. Recognize, identify, describe, and
analyze properties of squares,
rectangles, triangles, parallelograms,
rhombi, kites, and trapezoids.
Square: 4 equal
sides with 4 right
angles
Rectangle: A four sided figure where the opposite
sides are parallel and are the same length.
Trapezoid: A four
sided figure with a set of parallel lines.
Kite: A four sided figure with two pairs of sides
that are the same length.
Parallelogram: A four sided figure in which both
pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Opposite sides
and angles in a parallelogram are congruent.
Rhombus: Is a parallelogram that has four equal
sides. Opposite angels are congruent.
Triangle: A three sided figure that is classified by
either length of its sides or the measure of its
angles.

Describe the results of
combining and subdividing
shapes.

AC is a chord. BD is the diameter. EF is the radius.
The circumference is the distance around the
circle.
Two figures are congruent if they have the exactly
the same shape and size.
Two figures are similar if they have exactly the
same shape but not the same size.
There are two right triangles in a square.
There are three triangles in a trapezoid.
IV.
Identify and describe a line of
symmetry.
V. Recognize the images of figures as a
slide, flip, and turn.
Fifth Grade
A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure
into congruent (matching) halves.
A flip or reflection happens when an image is
flipped over an imaginary line.

V. Recognize the images of figures as a
slide, flip, and turn – continued.
A turn or a rotation happens when an image is
formed by turning around a point.
A slide or translation happens when all points of
a figure is moved in the same direction.
VI. Identify, analyze, and compare
properties of 3D shapes (cylinder, cone,
cube, square pyramid, and rectangular
prism).
Cylinder
Cylinder: A three dimensional shape that is
formed with two circular bases joined by a curved
surface.
Cone: A three dimensional shape that is formed
with one circular base joined by a curved surface,
making one vertex.
Cube: A three dimensional shape that has 6
congruent faces and all 12 edges the same length.
Square Pyramid: A three dimensional shape that
has a square base. Its faces are triangles and
there is one common vertex.
