Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions of shape‚ size and relative

Geometric constructions involve drawing geometric shapes that satisfy certain requirements (onlinemathlearning.com). The main focus in construction is on equidistance and co-linearity. This is done through the use of certain tools namely the compass and the straight edge. It is used to construct angles‚ planes figures and segments. This mathematical skill is applicable in many fields such as architecture‚ engineering and construction just to name a few. Base on the fact that geometric construction

parallelograms. Pyramid In geometry‚ a pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point‚ called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle. It is a conic solid with polygonal base. A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices‚ n + 1 faces‚ and 2n edges. Platonic Solids A Platonic solid is a solid such that all of its faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of regular polygons meet at each vertex. Tetrahedron In geometry‚ a tetrahedron is a

Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses differential calculus and integral calculus‚ linear algebra and multi linear algebra to study geometry problems. Partial differential equation is a differential equation that contains unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives

She worked hard in school and didn’t just do what she had to do. She pushed herself and has a wall of certificates and degrees to prove it. Her profession is more than just important. Every day she goes to work she uses her mathematical skills to save lives. She uses algebra‚ trigonometry‚ calculus‚ and geometry to ensure a structure’s

excellent example of a living being that has bilateral symmetry. The other kind of symmetry is radial symmetry. This is where there is a center point and numerous lines of symmetry could be drawn. The most obvious geometric example would be a circle. Geometry is the branch of mathematics that describes shapes. Sphere: A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space‚ such as the shape of a round ball. The shape of the Earth is very close to that of an oblate spheroid‚

Contributions of the Six Giants Thales of Miletus * He founded the geometry of lines‚ so is given credit for introducing abstract geometry. * Developed the first general theorems in geometry. * He was the first to demonstrate the truth of geometric relationship by showing that it flowed in a logical and orderly fashion from a set of universally accepted axioms called postulates Pythagoras

The concept of the game will be for children to become familiar with all of the geometry shapes there are so that when future assignments are given they will be able to identify the shape and be successful in their learning. The activity that I have created is called
