 FIND ME!
The class will be divided into 3 groups.
Each group will be given a boarding pass.
The group has only 5 minutes to do it.
The group needs to find the following words:

Group 1- Geometry, space and point

Group 2- Geometry, line and plane
Group 3- Geometry, coplanar and collinear

After finding, you have to search for its meaning and

write it on your whiteboard.
 Geometry is everywhere

The world is built of shapes and

space.
Geometry
⌘ branch of mathematics that deals with
measurement, properties, and relationships of
points, lines, and planes
⌘ vital to the construction of buildings and
highways
⌘ points, lines, and planes are the building
blocks of Geometry
Undefined Terms in Geometry
Point A
• represents position B
• has no dimension (no
length, width, or height) Points A, B,
• represented by a dot and C
• named using a capital C
letter
Undefined Terms in Geometry
m

Line A
• a collection of infinitely many points
• extends infinitely in both directions
• one-dimensional shape (has infinite B
length, no width nor height)
• named using two points on the line
with the line symbol “ “ placed C
on top of the two letters
• may also be named using a small
letter

Undefined Terms in Geometry
Plane
• a collection of an infinite set of points A
forming a connected flat surface
• extends infinitely in all directions C
• two-dimensional (has infinite length
and width, no height)
• named using three noncollinear
B
points in the plane or a single
italicized capital letter with the word
plane
• usually represented by a 4-sided
figure P
 Space
• defined as the set of all points
• Three-dimensional (has length, width, and height)
Collinear Noncollinear
Points Points
• points that lie on the • Points that do not lie
same line on the same line

Points Points
• points that lie on the • Points that do not lie
same plane on the same plane
A B
A, B, C, and F are coplanar
F C
A, B, C, and D are
noncoplanar

Look around your
room.
Can you identify
objects that may
be used to
represent a
point? a line?
a plane?
 Determine whether the given best
Exercises: represents a point, a line, or a plane.
1. the tip of a pen point
2. a page of a notebook plane

 WRAP UP!
What are the 3 undefined terms in Geometry?

Define each term.

What is the difference between collinear and

noncollinear points?

Coplanar and non-coplanar points?

 Essential Question:

What are your top 5 priorities in life?

If I will give you a triangle, how will

you put your priorities in order?
Steward of God

A biblical word view of stewardship can

be consciously defined as:

“Utilising and managing all resources

God provides for the glory of God and
the betterment of His creation.”
