Geometry
Geometry is all about shapes and their properties.
If you like playing with objects, or like drawing, then geometry is for
you!
Geometry can be divided into:
Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes
that can be drawn on a piece of paper
Solid Geometry is about three dimensional objects like cubes, prisms,
cylinders and spheres.
Hint: Try drawing some of the shapes and angles as you learn ... it
helps.
Point, Line, Plane and Solid
A Point has no dimensions, only position
A Line is one-dimensional
A Plane is two dimensional (2D)
A Solid is three-dimensional (3D)
Why?
Why do we do Geometry? To discover patterns, find areas, volumes, lengths
and angles, and better understand the world around us.
