Geometry Adventure
Explore the amazing world of shapes, angles, and measurements!
What is Geometry?
Geometry is all about shapes, sizes, positions, and dimensions!
Geometry is like being a shape detective! We study:
- Different types of shapes and their properties
- How to measure lengths, angles, and areas
- How shapes fit together and relate to each other
Fun Fact!
The word "geometry" comes from Ancient Greek words meaning "Earth measurement." Ancient Egyptians used geometry to measure their farmland after the Nile River flooded! 🌍
Basic Shapes
Let's meet some common geometric shapes!
Square
A shape with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles
Circle
A round shape where all points are the same distance from the center
Triangle
A shape with 3 sides and 3 angles
Rectangle
A shape with 4 right angles and 2 pairs of equal sides
Geometry Activities
Try these fun activities to explore geometry!
📏 Shape Hunt
Look around your room and find:
- 3 different circles

- 2 different triangles
🎨 Pattern Making
Using paper shapes:
- Create a repeating pattern
- Make a picture using only shapes
- Design a symmetrical pattern
📐 Angle Detective
Find these angles:
- Right angles (90°)
- Acute angles (less than 90°)
- Obtuse angles (more than 90°)
