Quiz 1

1. In a school art class, students are asked to draw different geometric figures using rulers and pencils. Maria draws a figure that starts at one point and ends at another point. Her teacher says, “That figure has two endpoints.”

Question:

Based on the teacher’s description, which geometric figure did Maria most likely draw?

2. In a school art class, students are asked to draw different geometric figures using rulers and pencils. Maria draws a figure on the table. She discover that every table has an edge. Her teacher observes it and says,“That table has four edges.”

Question:

Based on the teacher’s description, which geometric figure that describes the edge of the table?

3. During a math activity, the students are told to identify objects in the classroom that can represent basic geometric figures. The teacher asks,“Can anyone find something in the room that could represent a point in geometry?”

Maria looks around and says,“I think this represents a point because it has no length, width, or depth—just a position.”

Question:

Which of the following objects did Maria most likely choose?

In a math class, the students are learning about points and lines. The teacher shows a straight line on the board with three labeled points: A, B, and C. She says,“Notice that these three points all lie on the same straight path.”

Question:

What do you call points A, B, and C if they all lie on the same line?

5. During a classroom activity, the teacher gives students string and pushpins. She asks them to use the pins to mark points on a board and use the string to connect them.

The teacher then says:"To form a straight path or line, how many points do you need at the very least?"

Question:

Based on the activity, at least how many points are needed to determine a line?
