Table of contents
History of geometry
Scope in geometry:
Shapes
Sensorial exploration of shapes
Plane geometric figures (two-dimensional)
Geometric solids (three-dimensional)
Bases for geometric solids (plane geometry and solid geometry)
Constructor triangles

Classified nomenclature of geometry
Knowledge from Manipulation of Figures, Solid and Plane
A Solid cannot be in two places at the same time
A Solid as a state of matter
Geometric Solid (three-dimensional)
The surface of a solid
The surface of a solid, the line and the point in the solid: from the solid to the point
