Name Points, Lines, Rays and Segments With Symbols
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Name Points, Lines, Rays and Segments With Symbols" is written for 4th Grade (Ages 9-10), and it covers Common Core 4.G.A.1. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on geometry, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and points, lines, rays and segments never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.
4th grade math worksheet: look at figures and name each point, line, ray or segment using the correct symbol. Answer key included. Part of our points, lines, rays and segments geometry collection. Aligned to Common Core standards.
How do I use this worksheet?
Have your child trace each figure with a finger and say how many endpoints it has before naming it. A flashlight beam is a good picture of a ray. Check with the answer key.
What students will practice
- Students will draw a line, a ray and a line segment through two points.
- Students will name each figure with the correct symbol.

FAQ
How do I use this points, lines, rays and segments worksheet?
⌄
Have your child trace each figure with a finger and say how many endpoints it has before naming it. A flashlight beam is a good picture of a ray. Check with the answer key.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Look at figures and name each point, line, ray or segment using the correct symbol. Name a line with a double arrow, a ray with one arrow and a line segment with a bar over the letters. The directions on the page read: Read the Example. Then, look at each figure. Then, write its name with the correct symbol on the line. An answer key is included.
Can I use this points, lines, rays and segments worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 4th Grade geometry, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with points, lines, rays and segments. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
What is the difference between a line, a ray and a line segment?
⌄
A line goes on forever in both directions, so it has an arrow at each end. A ray has one endpoint and goes on forever in one direction. A line segment has two endpoints and does not go on.
How do you name a ray or a segment with symbols?
⌄
Use two capital letters for points on it, with a small symbol above. A segment AB has a bar over the letters, a ray AB has an arrow pointing right and starts at A, and a line AB has arrows at both ends.
Does my child need a ruler?
⌄
A ruler or straightedge helps on the drawing page, where students draw each figure through two points. The naming and sorting pages need only a pencil.
Is there an answer key for each worksheet?
⌄
Yes. All four points, lines, rays and segments sheets have an answer key.
How many 4th Grade points, lines, rays and segments worksheets are there?
⌄
4 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are points, lines, rays and segments worksheets for?
⌄
These are written for 4th Grade students, roughly ages 9-10. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Are these points, lines, rays and segments worksheets aligned to Common Core?
⌄
Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.
