Let’s learn a bit about Geometry!
Geometry is a part of Math that focuses on shapes and
lines.

Plane Figures are 2-dimensional figures. That means
that they look flat.

Solid Figures are 3-dimensional figures. That means
that they look like they can stand up on their own.

Let’s take a look at some plane figures (2-
dimensional).

A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 corners. The 4 corners
always make right angles.

A circle is a shape where all points are the same
distance from the center. It does not have any sides or
any corners.

A triangle is a shape with 3 sides and 3 vertices
(points).

Now let’s learn about 3-dimensional shapes.

A cube is a 3-dimensional solid with 6 congruent
square faces.

a square
Every face in a cube is a square and every edge is the
same length. A cube has 8 corners and 12 edges.

A cylinder is a 3-dimensional object formed by 2

a curved surface
The

circles are joined by a curved surface.
A rectangular solid is a 3-dimensional figure in which
all 6 faces are rectangles.

A sphere is a 3-dimensional object with all of its
points the same distance from the center.
a ball is a sphere

A cone is a solid, pointed figure that has flat, round
base. The base is usually a circle that is joined to the
point (vertex) by a curved surface.

Now you know about 2-dimensional and 3-
dimensional shapes.
