Project on: Geometric Shapes
Types of Geometric Shapes-
Square
Rectangle
Circle
Oval
Pentagon
Triangle
Hexagon
Cube
Cylinder
Sphere
Cone
Pyramid
Rectangular Prism
My Questions About Geometric Shapes
1. What so geometric shapes have to do with math?
2.Who invented Geometric Shapes?
Here is a Picture Of geometric shapes
Here Is the url to visit and see all the different kinds of geometric shapes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes
A bit of interesting exciting information you Might like to know
Solid geometry : This is about three dimensional objects like, prisms . cubes and pyramids .
Plane Geometry: Flat shapes that could be drawn on a piece of Paper. like or such as circles, lines , and triangles.
Geometry as a whole is big... But who invented Geometry , not just the shapes, but the geometry is what you might be wondering.
Click Here to watch a video about geometry, it's really interesting!!
http://www.ehow.com/video_4754330_who-invented-geometry.html
What I have learned so far: I'm so glad I picked geometric shapes for my topic. So I noticed that I really did'nt know the geometric shapes. I have learned the different kinds and I'm still looking forward to learning more about it. Another thing I've also learned about is plane and Solid geometry, if you are wondering what they are read above.

More On Solid, and , plane geometry :
1.A plane has two demensions.
2. Two Types of solid geometry are the Nonpolyhedra and ployhedra, in which the faces must be flat.
3.the Polyhedras- Prisms, platonic Solids , and pyramids. The Non-polyhedra shapes are the Torus , sphere, cylinder, plus the , cone.
There Are 5 different types of platonic solids: They are...
Tetrahedron: 4 Vertices, 4 faces , and 6 edges.
Octahedron : 8 Faces , 6 Vertices , 12 edges
Cube: 12 edges , 8 vertices and 6, edges.
Icosahedron :12 vertices ,20 Faces and, 30 edges

Meaning

Example
|
In Words
|
|
Triangle
|
ABC has 3 equal sides
|
Triangle ABC has three equal sides
|
|
Angle
|
ABC is 45°
|
The angle formed by ABC is 45 degrees.
|
|
Perpendicular
|
AB
CD
|
The line AB is perpendicular to line CD
|
|
Parallel
|
EF
GH
|
The line EF is parallel to line GH
|
|
Degrees
|
360° makes a full circle
|
|
|
Right Angle (90°)
|
is 90°
|
A right angle is 90 degrees
|
|
Line Segment "AB"
|
AB
|
The line between A and B
|
|
Line "AB"
|
|
The infinite line that includes A and B
|
|
Ray "AB"
|
|
The line that starts at A, goes through B and continues on
|
|
Congruent (same shape and size)
|
ABC 
DEF
|
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF
|
|
Similar (same shape, different size)
|
DEF
MNO
|
Triangle DEF is similar to triangle MNO
|
|
Therefore
|
|
a equals b, therefore b equals a
Geometry the Plane Shapes are....
Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes. They are made of straight lines, and the shape is "closed" (all the lines connect up).
 |
 |
 |
Polygon
(straight sides) |
Not a Polygon
(has a curve) |
Not a Polygon
(open, not closed) |
Polygon is a greek word meaning,poly:many and gon: angle. So the word means many angles. I find that cool.
A simple polygon has only one boundary, and it doesn't cross over itself. A complex polygon intersects itself!

Dear V.,
I look forward to seeing you develop your research project on this page. Over the next few days you should identify a mathematical topic or historical person you will focus your efforts upon. Once your topic is selected, you should create research questions to focus your efforts. If you are having any problems, send me an email. Good luck.
Your Teacher
