Abstract

Many students can find the volume of new vocabulary terms in the high school Geometry curriculum quite intimidating. Geometry students can be exposed to over 100 new terms in just the first semester! If students do not understand the terminology, they will have a hard time applying and communicating the mathematics they are learning. A series of activities is introduced that uses a kinesthetic approach to learning the terminology relating to the special angle pairs formed by intersecting lines and transversals.
