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.
Triangle
Rectangle
Square
Circle

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 square has 4 sides of
equal length.

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.
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

Circles.
The circles are joined by a curved surface.

A rectangular prism 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.
2-dimensional figures are plane figures. They
are flat and “on” the paper.
3-dimensional figures are space figures. They
look like they could stand up and you could
touch them!
