How to Play Geometry Golf
1. Find the perimeter around the board to the nearest cm.
____________ cm
2. Find the area of the board in cm. _________ square cm
3. Shuffle cards. Have definition side up.
4. The first player draws the top card. Read the definition.
(Do not turn it over yet.)
5. Find the distance from where you are to where you think
the answer hole is. Write the cm distance on your sheet of
paper.
6. See how many times it takes to hit the circle to the hole.
If it goes off the table, add another hit to your score and put
the circle back on the board near where it went off.
7. Turn the card over once you reach the hole. Does the
card match the hole? If it does not, you must continue
hitting the circle to the correct space. Leave the card near
the hole.
8. The next player does steps 4 – 7.
9. If you have 2 players then each do 7 holes. If you have 3
players then each will do 5 holes.
10. The winner is the one with the lowest score.
Alphabet Symmetry
Name___________
I am Sponge Blob Hex Pants.
I am symmetrical. The Left
side of my body is a mirror
image of my right side.
Place a mirror vertically
on my body to find my
line of symmetry.
Directions: Look at the letters of the alphabet. Use a mirror to find if the letter
has a vertical symmetry, horizontal symmetry, both or none at all. Draw the
lines of symmetry on the letter. Organize the letters according to which ones
have reflection symmetry into three groups.
1. The letters that have reflection symmetry with a vertical line of symmetry
(like the letter A).
2. The letters that have reflection symmetry with a horizontal line of symmetry
(like the letter B).
3. The letters that have reflection symmetry with both vertical and horizontal
lines of symmetry (like the letter H).

Directions:
1. Put a book between your
desk and your partner’s
desk so that your partner
can not see your grid.
2. Draw a polygon (triangle,
square, rectangle,
parallelogram, trapezoid,
rhombus, pentagon,
hexagon, octagon) in the top
grid. (See example below.)

3 Take turns with your
partner using ordered pairs
to guess a plotted point. If
the point is a hit on a vertex,
then put an x at that point. If
it is a miss, then circle the
point.
