Geometry

Introduction

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with shapes and space. In simple words, it is all about different kinds of shapes and how they fit together.

Basic Shapes

Circles

Imagine a round pizza or a bicycle tire. These are examples of circles. A circle is a shape with all points the same distance from the center.

Triangles

Think of a slice of pizza or a road sign. These are examples of triangles. A triangle has three sides and three corners.

Rectangles

Picture a book or a door. These are examples of rectangles. A rectangle has four sides, and opposite sides are equal in length.

Fun Activity

Draw different shapes on a piece of paper - circles, triangles, and rectangles. Try to identify objects around you that resemble these shapes.

Remember

  • A circle is round and has all points the same distance from the center.
  • A triangle has three sides and three corners.
  • A rectangle has four sides, with opposite sides being equal in length.
