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 Geometryjoy is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper十冬腊月 |
| |
| 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.
Plane Geometry
Plane Geometry is all about shapes on a flat surface (like on an endless piece of paper).
