<strong>Geometry</strong> and <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Sense</strong><br />
Which object (the bug, the rope, the lawn, the park) is best described as a point?<br />
A. bug<br />
B. rope<br />
C. lawn<br />
D. park<br />
Commentary:<br />
This multiple-choice question asks students to identify the description of an object in the<br />
environment. Students need to recognize an example of a geometric term within the<br />
environment. The bug sits on a rope (a point on a line); a rope connects two trees (a line<br />
segment); and the lawn is in the park (a plane in space). The correct answer choice is A.<br />
The complexity level of this question is Low Complexity. The question requires students to<br />
recognize an example of a concept.<br />
Performance Data:<br />
The percent of public school students selecting answer choice A for question 21 on the March<br />
2006 Grade 4 Achievement Test was 54%.<br />
Keywords: geometry, point, line, plane<br />
