The periodic changes in the moon's shape are called phases. The moon goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth, including new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.

The Moon's shape on Monday would have been a waxing gibbous, which appears as a rounded shape with a larger illuminated portion compared to a first quarter Moon.
on the 10 the of may in 2011 the moon was a bright red quarter moon.
The semi-circle shape can be the 1st or 3rd quarter. Perhaps you would want to double check, but I believe that if the "flat" side of the shape is facing to the left, that is the 1st quarter; to the right - 3rd quarter.
The first quarter moon occurs when the moon is one-quarter of the way through its lunar cycle, and it appears as a half-circle in the sky. This phase marks the halfway point between the new moon and the full moon. It is a good time for taking action, making decisions, and moving forward with plans.
The moon was in its first quarter phase on Friday, appearing as a half moon. It transitioned to a waxing gibbous phase on Saturday, where it appears more than half full but less than full.
Whatever phase the moon happens to be in, it looks the same from every place on Earth where there are people looking at it.

Waxing and waning are terms used to describe whether the moon is progressing towards a new (waning) or full (waxing) moon, not a particular shape. ___________________ The shapes are crescent, quarter, and gibbous, for the sliver, the half-moon and the "squashed circle" shape.
Both the 1st Quarter moon and the 3rd (last) Quarter moon can be referred to as the "half moon" since we see half of the sunlit side of the moon.
