Geometry Vocabulary Assignment
MA 118, Fall 2010, Overmann
For full credit, turn in this assignment and grading rubric with your notebook.
For this assignment, you will provide mathematics definitions for geometric terms. You can find
definitions in our textbook, another book, on the web, or some other mathematical source. Each definition must be
typed (word-processed) or the assignment will be awarded a score of 0. A diagram appropriate to the definition
should accompany each term, although one diagram can apply to several definitions. The diagram can be neatly
drawn, copied, or cut and pasted from some other source. You will be graded on the definition, diagram
appropriateness, spelling, neatness, organization, and creativity.
As you know, when you obtain and copy information from another source, you must credit your resource
and authors. To this end, attach to this assignment a typed, alphabetized reference list, with any reference
information source you used listed according to the American Psychological Association (APA) style. Each in
paper citation must reference an information source from your reference page. The Kent Library website has APA
style information for help. Each definition must be referenced according to APA style.
