Lesson 1: Points, Lines and Planes
Chapter 1: Tools of Geometry

2. Definitions Point- represents a location
Line- made up of points and has no thickness or width, extends infinitely at both ends (cannot be measured)
Collinear- points on the same line
Plane- flat surface made from points that has no depth and extends in all directions infinitely
Coplanar- points or lines on the same plane
Space- boundless, 3-D set of all points that contains lines and planes
Definitions

3. Step 1- fold the construction paper in half both by width and length (hamburger and hotdog)
Step 2- Unfold the paper and hold width wise, fold in the ends until they meet at the center crease
Step 3- Cut the folded flaps along the crease so that there are now 4 flaps
Chapter 1 Foldable

4. Upper Left flap- Lesson 1.1 Points, Lines and Planes
Label the outside of the flap with the lesson number and title.
Inside the flap create a grid with 7 columns and 4 rows.

5. Copy the notes into the foldable.
