  1. Geometric Shapes, Lines of Symmetry, & Right Angles 3rd Grade Strategies for Your Toolbox to Solve Geometry Problems

  2. 2-Dimensional Shapes • 2-dimensional – having only 2 dimensions (usually width and height) and no thickness Dimensions are length, width, and height • Polygons are 2- dimensional Shapes formed by straight line segments that don’t cross

  3. Names of Polygons pentagon – 5 sides; 5 angles triangle – 3 sides; 3 angles circle – no sides rectangle – 4 sides; 4 angles square – 4 equal sides; 4 equal angles

  4. Describing Polygons A polygon is named according to the number of sides and angles that it has.

  5. Describing Polygons Remember these prefixes

  6. Let’s Practice!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks1bitesize/numeracy/shapes/fs.shtml

  7. 3-Dimensional Shapes 3-dimensional shapes have length, width, and height.

  8. 3-Dimensional Shapes

  9. 3-Dimensional Shapes

  10. Figure Out the Number of Sides & Edges Solid Patterns 6 faces; 12 edges 6 faces; 12 edges 5 faces; 8 edges 2 faces; 3 edges 3 faces; 4 edges

  11. A shape is symmetrical if you can fold it in half and both sides match exactly. This shape is symmetrical because if you folded it on the line, both sides would match!

  12. This shape is NOT symmetrical. Why not? If you fold this shape in half along the line AB, is does not match up exactly. Both sides are triangles, but they are not symmetrical.

  13. Line of Symmetry http://www.innovationslearning.co.uk/favicon.ico The line where a symmetrical object can be cut in half, AB, is called the line of symmetry.

  14. Let’s Practice!

  15. Try it yourself – Draw a line of symmetry on each figure!

  16. Which of these faces is symmetrical?

  17. Which of these is NOT symmetrical?

  18. Right on Right angles

  19. What is an angle? • Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the angle.

  20. Here are some examples of angles.

  21. Right Angles • A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. • The following angles are both right angles.

  22. Is this a right angle? Yes No

  23. Have another look.

  24. Yes

  25. Is this a right angle? Yes No

  26. Have another look.

  27. Good Thinking! No

  28. Is this a right angle? Yes No

  29. Have another look.
