Make sure the 0 inch mark on your ruler is lined up with the end of the object. 2. Find where the other end of the object falls on the ruler. That is it’s length. The lines between each whole number on an inch ruler stand for ¼, ½, and ¾ . If it is between two lines, always measure up! Example: 2¼ ¼ ½ ¾

Geometry Notes: Attribute- a feature that describes a shape

Polygon- any CLOSED shape with 3 or more sides (see polygons below)

Side- straight edge of a shape

A circle does not have sides, so it is not a polygon!

Angle- the space created when two sides of a shape meet

Parallel Lines- two lines that could go on forever without ever intersecting or crossing Name ______Date ______

Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral can be classified by its sides and angles.

A square has 4 right angles and 4 sides of equal length.

A rectangle has 4 right angles. Its opposite sides are equal in length.

In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.

A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length, opposite sides are parallel, and opposite angles are the same.

A trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides.

All quadrilaterals have some things in common. For example, they all have 4 sides and 4 angles. Some quadrilaterals have additional attributes in common.

Look at the parallelogram and the rhombus:

Both types of quadrilaterals have opposite sides that are equal in length and parallel. Look at more examples of quadrilaterals for other shared attributes.

In order to understand the food chain, there are some vocabulary words you should learn. Look at the words and definitions below.

Producer - Plants or animals that are eaten by other animals. For example: grass. Consumer - Animals that eat producers or other consumers. For example: mice, birds, or bears. Herbivore - Animals that eat only plants. For example: rabbits. Carnivore- Animals that eat only meat. For example: cats. Omnivore - Animals that eat plants and meat. For example: humans. Decomposer - An organism that breaks down deceased animals into tiny pieces. For example: worms.

All food chains begin with a producer. A producer is usually a type of plant. That producer is then eaten by a consumer.

There are two main types of consumers: primary and secondary. Herbivores are primary consumers. They eat plants. Carnivores, secondary consumers, eat primary consumers. For example: a mouse (a primary consumer) eats grass (a producer). A cat (a secondary consumer) eats mice.

When an animal dies, decomposers break apart the animal, returning nutrients back into the environment. These nutrients then feed plants (the producers), which completes the cycle.

Answer the following questions.

1. What is the difference between the two types of consumers?

a. Primary consumers eat plants. Secondary consumers eat secondary consumers.

b. Secondary consumers eat plants. Primary consumers eat primary consumers.

c. Secondary consumers eat plants. Primary Consumers eat secondary consumers.

d. Primary consumers eat plants. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers.

2. ______is an example of a carnivore.

a. Grass b. A zebra c. A lion d. An earthworm
