Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
“If you ask your child to describe a triangle using proper geometry notation — naming its angles and sides with letters — can they do it clearly enough for someone else to draw it?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. Use conventional geometric terms and notation to describe, sketch, and draw points, lines, parallel and perpendicular lines, right angles, regular polygons, and reflectively/rotationally symmetric polygons
What to notice. Use correct notation for line segments (AB), angles (∠ABC), and parallel lines (AB ∥ CD) • Sketch a regular hexagon and describe its rotational and reflective symmetry • Identify and label perpendicular and parallel lines in a given figure using standard symbols
