Geometry GPS

Students should know and understand the following basic geometry terms:
point (Lesson 6-1)
line
segment
ray
parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines
angle (Lesson 6-2)
congruent (Lesson 6-9)
similar
symmetry (Lesson 6-11)
transformations: flips, turns, slides (Lesson 6-10)

types of triangles (Lesson 6-5)

parts of a polygon: edge, face, vertex (plural vertices) (Lesson 6-4)

parts of a circle: center, radius (plural radii), diameter, chord, arc, circumference (Lesson 6-3)

Students should be able to measure angles. (Lesson 6-2)

Knowing these basic facts will allow students to master the 5th grade Georgia Performance Standards (GPS):
M5G1: Students will understand congruence of geometric figures and the correspondence of their vertices, sides, and angles.
M5G2: Students will understand the relationship of the circumference of a circle and its diameter is pi (3.14).
