Sample questions

A taste of this unit. In the app, questions change every time and get easier or harder to match your child.

  1. Question 1

    Which object has a top view that is a circle and a front view that is a rectangle?

    • cone
    • cylinder
    • cube
    Show answer

    cylinder

    Hint: A cylinder has a round top and a rectangular side.

  2. Question 2

    What are the coordinates of point P?

    -8-8-7-7-6-6-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1001122334455667788P
    • (−3, −2)
    • (−2, −3)
    • (2, −3)
    Show answer

    (−2, −3)

    Hint: The first number is left or right. The second number is up or down.

  3. Question 3

    Point A is at (1, 1). It is translated 3 right and 2 down. Where does it land?

    • (4, 3)
    • (4, −1)
    • (−1, 4)
    Show answer

    (4, −1)

    Hint: Right and up add. Left and down subtract.

  4. Question 4

    How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle that is not a square have?

    • 0
    • 2
    • 5
    Show answer

    2

    Hint: Picture folding the shape so both halves match exactly.

  5. Question 5

    In which quadrant is the point (4, 5)?

    -8-8-7-7-6-6-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1001122334455667788P
    • Quadrant III
    • Quadrant II
    • Quadrant I
    Show answer

    Quadrant I

    Hint: Quadrant I is top right, II is top left, III is bottom left, and IV is bottom right.

  6. Question 6

    What is true about the diagonals of every rhombus?

    • They never cross.
    • They are always equal in length.
    • They meet at right angles.
    Show answer

    They meet at right angles.

    Hint: A rhombus's diagonals cross at 90°.
