📘 About Geometry and Measures

Geometry is the study of:

  • Shapes and figures: triangles, circles, polygons, 3D solids (cubes, spheres, pyramids, etc.).

  • Angles: types (acute, right, obtuse), calculating interior/exterior angles, angle rules.

  • Lines and symmetry: parallel, perpendicular, reflection, rotation, translation.

  • Coordinates and graphs: plotting points, interpreting and constructing shapes on coordinate grids.

Measures includes:

  • Length, area, volume: understanding units (mm, cm, m, km; cm², m²; cm³, L, etc.) and applying formulas.

  • Perimeter and circumference: calculating around 2D shapes and circles.

  • Angles and turns: using degrees to measure rotation.

  • Conversion of units: metric conversions and understanding scale.


📊 Skills Developed

  • Logical reasoning and spatial awareness.

  • Real-life application like estimating distances, using maps, understanding blueprints.

  • Preparing for more advanced topics like trigonometry and vector geometry.


🧠 Example Topics

  • Finding the area of a triangle using 12×base×height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

  • Calculating the volume of a cylinder with πr2h\pi r^2 h

  • Identifying lines of symmetry in a regular polygon

  • Working with angles in parallel lines, like alternate and corresponding angles
