Instructions: Work through the activities in order. Use a ruler for straight lines and a pencil for your drawings. Remember: a right angle is a quarter-turn, and you can compare other angles with it.

Draw 2-D Shapes

Use a ruler to draw each shape in its box. Look carefully at the number of straight sides and corners. Your drawings do not need to be a particular size.

1. Draw a triangle with 3 straight sides.

2. Draw a square with 4 equal sides.

3. Draw a rectangle with 4 corners.

4. Draw a pentagon with 5 straight sides.

Make 3-D Shapes from Their Faces

Read each description and name the 3-D shape it would make. Think about the shapes of its flat faces. Write one shape name in each box.

1. I have 6 square faces, and all my edges are the same length. What shape am I?

2. I have 6 rectangular faces. What shape am I?

3. I have 2 circular faces and 1 curved surface. What shape am I?

4. I have 1 square face and 4 triangular faces. What shape am I?

Angles Are Turns

Imagine turning on the spot. A quarter-turn makes a right angle; a half-turn is two right angles. For each question, write the turn or angle name asked for.

1. A quarter-turn is what kind of angle?

2. A half-turn is how many right angles?

3. Is an angle smaller than a right angle acute or obtuse?

4. Is an angle bigger than a right angle acute or obtuse?

Compare Angles with a Right Angle

Use the descriptions to compare each angle with a right angle. Write “smaller”, “equal” or “bigger” in each box. A right angle is the corner of a square.

1. An angle is half of a right angle. It is ___ than a right angle.

2. An angle is exactly a right angle. It is ___ to a right angle.

3. An angle is one and a half right angles. It is ___ than a right angle.

4. An angle is three-quarters of a right angle. It is ___ than a right angle.

Spot the Lines

Use the line clues to name each type of line or pair. Horizontal lines go across; vertical lines go up and down. Parallel lines never meet, and perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.

1. A line running straight across the page from left to right is ___.

2. A line running straight up and down the page is ___.

3. Two lines that stay the same distance apart and never meet are ___.

4. Two lines that meet to make a right angle are ___.
