Basic Terms in Geometry
Basic Terms in Geometry
Geometry is a branch of math that studies the physical features of things around us. It deals
with the sizes, shapes, measurements, and dimension of things. It also talks about logic and
reasoning. In this module, you will be learning about the important terms in Geometry. You
will learn about the different undefined terms and some defined terms – the building blocks
of Geometry. To master this subject, you need to understand these unfamiliar terms. Hence,
I hope that you will take this as a challenge and as a new perspective in viewing things
around us.

Topic: The Undefined Terms
I. LEARNING INTENT
At the end of the lesson, the students CAN represent points, lines and planes using concrete and pictorial
models by
• describing the characteristics of points, lines and planes
• Identifying models of undefined terms found in the real world
3. Linking statement
The undefined terms in geometry are terms that cannot be defined. These terms can only be described.
So, today you will be learning about points, lines, and planes – the building blocks of geometry.
B. Guided Instruction
1. Concept Digest:
The ideas of a point, a line, and a plane are building blocks of geometry. All geometric figures are made
of points, lines, and planes. The table below summarizes all the concepts that we need to know about the
undefined terms in geometry.

3. Linking statement
If a part of a line is removed, a new geometric figure is formed. These figures are called subsets of a
line. Hence for this lesson, we will be learning about subsets of a line and some defined terms in
Geometry.

The figure formed is an intersection of 2 rays. In Geometry, we call this figure an angle. Hence for this
lesson, we will be learning about the different types of angles and its applications.
B. Guided Instruction
1. Concept Digest:
Angles
An angle is a union of two non-collinear rays with common endpoint. The two non-collinear
rays are the sides of the angle while the common endpoint is the vertex. Angles are measured in unit
called degrees using a measuring device called the protractor.

Angles are classified according to their measurement.
