Missy McCarthy Okemos High School Math Instructor Chapter 1: Foundations for Geometry 1-1: Understanding Points, Lines, and Planes Missy McCarthy Okemos High School Math Instructor
I CAN: Identify, draw, and name points, lines, and planes. Identify when objects are collinear or non-collinear and coplanar and non-coplanar. Identify, draw, and name segments, endpoints, rays, and opposite rays. Define the term Postulate. Identify the intersection of geometric objects. Make sense of the 5 postulates regarding points, lines, planes, and their intersections (see pages 7 – 8 of text)
What is Geometry?
Undefined Terms A term that cannot be defined by using other figures.
Undefined Terms I CAN: Identify, draw, and name points, lines, and planes.
Collinear and Coplanar I CAN: Identify when objects are collinear or non-collinear and coplanar and non-coplanar.
Example Name a point. Name a 2 lines. Name a plane. Are Point E and Point C collinear? Why are why not?
More definitions I CAN: Identify, draw, and name segments, endpoints, rays, and opposite rays.
Postulates and Axioms What is a postulate/axiom? I CAN: Define the term Postulate.
Postulates and Axioms I CAN: Make sense of the 5 postulates regarding points, lines, planes, and their intersections.
Intersecting elements I CAN: Identify the intersection of geometric objects.
More postulates/axioms I CAN: Make sense of the 5 postulates regarding points, lines, planes, and their intersections.
