Rebecca Klemm, PhD

2 Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.

3 Turn Two Circles into One Square
Materials: 2 strips of paper made into circle can be same color and same width or 2 different colors and 2 different lengths of widths—experiment. Tape—well—perpendicular Cut down middle of each circle.

4 Geometry as 2-dimensional polygons and
3-dimensional solids
