 Learning Objectives:
Ahoy! At the end of the session, you should be able to:

✓ Define point, line, and plane

✓ Illustrate point, line, and plane
✓ Appreciate the importance of
undefined terms in real life
 And we are going on an
Hello everyone! I’m

to come with me?
 But before proceeding to the quest, I
am sad to say that our adventure map
is torn into pieces. Can you help me
build this jigsaw map in order for our
adventure to continue?
For us to get the jigsaw pieces, we need to answer each
question corresponding to it.

React if the first option is the correct answer.

React if the second option is the correct answer.

React if the third option is the correct answer.

You will be given 10 seconds to decide with your answer.

GEOMETRY.

GEOMETRY
 GEOMETRY
Geometry is the first subject you will study
that begins with three undefined terms.
These are point, line, and plane. These
three terms are like building blocks on
which we build geometry.
 GEOMETRY

Technically, geometry is the study of figures

in space or on a plane. It comes from the
Greek words, geo, meaning “earth”, and
metria, meaning “measure”.

A line is a set of points arranged in a row.

It is extended endlessly in both directions.

It is a one-dimensional figure.

Two points determine a line. That is, two 𝑋𝑌
distinct points that are contained by
exactly one line.

We use a lower-case letter or any two

points on the line to name the line.

A ray is also a part of a line but has only

and one of its points. We always start on
the endpoint.

Above, ABCDEFGH is an illustration of a box.

1. How many faces does the box have?

2. What do the edges represent?
3. How many points are named in the figure?
4. Name as many line segments as you can.
5. Illustrate points A and D lie on line x.
Now, for your assignment. Here is
