Geometry is a very interesting topic in mathematics.
Geometry is all about shapes and their properties. (Properties like the type of angles the shape has, If you like playing with objects, or like drawing, then geometry is for you! Think about your last birthday cake. Was it in the shape of a square, rectangle, or circle? Squares, rectangles, and circles are just some examples of shapes. All of these shapes are topics that we can learn about in geometry! |
geometry can be divided into:
plane geometry |
solid geometry |
basic info
So Geometry is a kind of math where we can learn all about points, lines and shapes.
Lets make a study of the different sections...

* If you were to draw a dot on a sheet of paper with
a pencil you have what we call a point in geometry. * You may remember connecting the numbered dots in order to trace a picture when learning to draw. All of those dots that you connected were points! |
* If you were to draw two points on a sheet of paper and connect them by using a ruler,
you have what we call a line in geometry! * It is important to use a ruler so the line does not have any gaps or curves! Lines do not have any gaps or curves, and they don't have a specific length. * Let's think about a standard piece of paper. The edges of the piece of paper are lines because they are straight, without any gaps or curves. There is also one red line and several blue lines on a piece of paper! |
