Description

Two angles that add up to 90°
Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their degree measure equals 180 degrees.
it means that both figures' corresponding sides are proportional, but the figures themselves are two different sizes.
two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.
pair of adjacent, supplementary angles.
type of transformation that changes the size of the image
is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity
when discussing geometric figures or shapes, and it means that both figures' corresponding sides are proportional, but the figures themselves are two different sizes.
the branch of mathematics dealing with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and with the relevant functions of any angles.
the branch of mathematics dealing with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and with the relevant functions of any angles.
the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle) to the hypotenuse.
the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the sides (other than the hypotenuse) opposite and adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
corresponding in size or amount to something else

a line that intersects the curve in at least two (distinct) points
1.a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
"Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent" (CPCTC) is a succinct statement of a theorem regarding congruent triangles, defined as triangles either of which is an isometry of the other
the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two secant lines (or, in a degenerate case, when one secant line and one tangent line of that circle) intersect on the circle.
transformation which preserves the geometrical properties of the Euclidean space.
a two-dimensional, mirror-symmetrical curve, which is approximately U-shaped when oriented as shown in the diagram below, but which can be in any orientation in its plane.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.

Are crosswords good for students?

Crosswords are a great exercise for students' problem solving and cognitive abilities. Not only do they need to solve a clue and think of the correct answer, but they also have to consider all of the other words in the crossword to make sure the words fit together.

Crosswords are great for building and using vocabulary.
