a dot. It is named by a capital letter. Examples of point in the figure are point A, point B,

infinitely in both directions. It has a length but no width and height. It can be named by
two capital letters or one small letter written in script. Examples of line in the figure are
3. Line Segment – is a part of a line. It is a finite set of points on a straight path. It has
two endpoints. It can be named by two capital letters. Examples are BC and DF.
4. Ray – is also a part of a line. It has one endpoint and it can be extended in one
direction only. It is named by two capital letters starting from the endpoint. Example is
CG, when two rays meet at their common endpoint, they form an angle such as / BAE
or / EAB.
5. Parallel Lines – are lines that do not meet no matter how long you extend them.
6. Intersecting Lines – are lines that meet at one point. Two roads that meet are like
intersecting lines.
2.2 Two-Dimensional Objects – objects that can only be drawn on a flat surface
such as paper. They have two dimensions – length and width. Two dimensional shapes
2.3 Three-Dimensional Objects – have length, width and height. The common
3D shapes are cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone and sphere. Each has
its own unique characteristics.
Symmetric means that a figure forms two equal parts or mirror image of the
other when folded. The line that divides the figure into two equal parts is called the line
of symmetry. Examples:
A heart and butterfly have one line of symmetry while the arrow has two line of
symmetry. Other figures like square may have more than 2 line of symmetry.
Some figures don’t have lines of symmetry as shown below. They are
asymmetric.
2.5 Tessellation – is a pattern of shapes that perfectly fit together. This means that
A. Square
B. Circle
