Points, Lines, and Angles

A point is an exact spot. We name it with a capital letter, like point A.
A line is straight and goes on forever in both directions. We write it as line AB.
A line segment is part of a line with two endpoints. It does not go on forever.
A ray has one endpoint and goes on forever in one direction.
An angle is formed when two rays meet at a point. The shared point is the vertex.
The two rays are called the sides of the angle. We write an angle as ∠ABC, where B is the vertex.

Measuring Angles

We measure angles in degrees using the symbol °.
A full turn around a point is 360°.
A right angle is exactly 90°. It looks like the corner of a square.
An acute angle is less than 90°. It is smaller than a right angle.
An obtuse angle is more than 90° but less than 180°. It is bigger than a right angle.
A straight angle is exactly 180°. It forms a straight line.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Parallel lines are lines that never meet. They stay the same distance apart.
We write parallel lines like AB ∥ CD.
Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle (90°).
We write perpendicular lines like AB ⊥ CD.
You can find perpendicular lines at the corners of a rectangle.

Triangles

A triangle is a 2-D shape with 3 sides and 3 angles.
Triangles can be named by their sides: equilateral (all sides equal), isosceles (two sides equal), and scalene (no sides equal).
Triangles can also be named by their angles: acute (all angles acute), right (one right angle), and obtuse (one obtuse angle).
The angles inside any triangle add up to 180°.
An equilateral triangle is also acute because all its angles are 60°.

Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a 2-D shape with 4 sides and 4 angles.
The angles inside any quadrilateral add up to 360°.
A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
A rectangle has 2 pairs of equal sides and 4 right angles.
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides are equal.
A rhombus has 4 equal sides, but its angles are not necessarily right angles.
A trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides.

Symmetry

A shape has symmetry if you can fold it in half so the two halves match exactly.
The fold line is called the line of symmetry.
A square has 4 lines of symmetry.
A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry.
An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry.
A circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
To complete a symmetric figure, draw the mirror image on the other side of the line.

Coordinates and Translations

We use coordinates to describe positions on a grid. They are written as (x, y).
The first number is the x-coordinate (how far across).
The second number is the y-coordinate (how far up).
The point (0,0) is called the origin.
A translation is a slide. The shape moves without turning or flipping.
To translate a shape, move every point the same distance in the same direction.
For example, moving a shape 3 squares right and 2 squares up is a translation.

Notes de révision

## Angles, Symmetry and 2-D Shapes – Revision Notes ### Angles - An **angle** is formed when two lines meet at a point. The lines are called **sides**, and the meeting point is the **vertex**. - Angles are measured in **degrees** (°). A full turn is 360°. - **Types of angles:** - **Acute angle**: less than 90° (smaller than a right angle). - **Right angle**: exactly 90° (a quarter turn). - **Obtuse angle**: between 90° and 180° (bigger than a right angle but less than a straight line). - **Straight angle**: exactly 180° (a half turn). - **Reflex angle**: between 180° and 360° (more than a straight angle). - **Angle addition**: If a point lies inside an angle, the whole angle equals the sum of the two smaller angles. For example, if D is inside ∠BAC, then m∠BAC = m∠BAD + m∠DAC. ### Lines and Points - **Point**: an exact location. - **Line**: a straight path that goes on forever in both directions. - **Line segment**: part of a line with two endpoints. - **Ray**: part of a line with one endpoint, going on forever in one direction. - **Parallel lines**: lines that never meet, always the same distance apart. - **Perpendicular lines**: lines that meet at a right angle (90°). ### 2-D Shapes - **Triangle**: a shape with 3 sides and 3 angles. - By sides: **equilateral** (all sides equal), **isosceles** (two sides equal), **scalene** (no sides equal). - By angles: **acute** (all angles acute), **right** (one right angle), **obtuse** (one obtuse angle). - **Quadrilateral**: a shape with 4 sides and 4 angles. - Examples: square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezoid. ### Symmetry - A **line of symmetry** divides a shape into two matching halves that are mirror images. - Some shapes have one or more lines of symmetry; others have none. - To complete a symmetric figure, reflect the given part across the line of symmetry. ### Coordinates and Translations - A **coordinate grid** uses two numbers to show a position: (x, y). The first number is the horizontal position (x-coordinate), the second is the vertical position (y-coordinate). - A **translation** moves a shape without rotating or flipping it. It slides left/right and up/down. ### Key Formulas - Angle addition: m∠BAC = m∠BAD + m∠DAC (if D is inside ∠BAC). - Full turn = 360°, half turn = 180°, quarter turn = 90°. Remember: Practice identifying angles and shapes, and always check for symmetry!

A right triangle has one right angle (90°).

What is a quadrilateral?

A quadrilateral is a 2-D shape with four sides and four angles. The sum of its angles is always 360°.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

What is a square?

A square is a rectangle with all four sides equal. It has four right angles.

What is a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.

What is a line of symmetry?
