Count the arrowheads

A line continues in both directions, a ray has one endpoint and continues in one direction, and a line segment has two finite endpoints.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Distinguish a line, ray and line segment by their direction and endpoints.

Worked example

An object has one solid endpoint and one arrowhead. What is it?

A ray.

It starts at one endpoint and continues without end in one direction.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Two arrowheads indicate a line.
  • One arrowhead indicates a ray; two finite endpoints with no arrows indicate a segment.
