Mathematical System
WHAT’S IN
Activity 1
Given the picture below, answer the following questions that follow.
Questions:
1. What do you see in the picture?

2. What branch of mathematics does the picture illustrates?

Activity 2
Make a schematic diagram of the given geometric terms below based on your prior knowledge.
WHAT IS IT
Mathematical System (Axiomatic system) is any set of axioms from which some or all axioms
can be used in conjunction to logically derive theorems.
The four parts of a mathematical system are:

1. Undefined terms
2. Defined terms
3. Axioms or Postulates
4. Theorems
The following mathematical terms that are important in relation to mathematical system in
geometry.
▪ Postulate – is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or
starting point for further reasoning and arguments.
▪ Axiom – is any mathematical statement that serves as a starting point from
which other statements are logically derived.
▪ Axiomatic System – is any set of axioms from which some or all axioms can
be used in conjunction to logically derived theorems.
▪ Theorem – is a statement proven based on axioms, other theorems, and
some set of logical connectives.
▪ Corollary – is a theorem that is usually considered as an easy consequence or
result of another theorem.
▪ Lemma – is generally used to describe an auxiliary fact that is used in the
proof of more significant result.

DESCRIPTIONS
It has two dimensions.

It has no thickness.
It forms a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions.
It has infinite length, no width, and no thickness.
It is usually named with a capital letter.
It has no length, no width, and no thickness.
It goes on infinitely in both directions.
It indicates a location or a position in space.
It has infinite length, infinite width, and no thickness.
It has no dimension or actual size.
It is drawn with arrowheads on both ends.
WHAT IS IT
In a mathematical system, we came across with many terms which cannot be

precisely defined. In geometry, we accept certain undefined terms. These are: point, line,
and plane.
A point is a specific location. It has no size meaning it has no width, no length and no
thickness. A dot is used to represent a point. It can be named using a single capital letter like
points A, B, and C.
A line is a straight one-dimensional figure with no thickness and extends infinitely in

both directions. A line can be named using two capital letters like line AB (AB⃡ ), line CD (CD
⃡ )
⃡ ). It can also be named using a single script letter like line m, line n, and line
and line XY (XY
l.

6|P age
A plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface, has no thickness, and goes on forever. It
is named by the three points in the plane that are not on the same line, example plane ABC.
It can also be named using a single capital letter like plane D.
WHAT’S MORE
Activity 3
A. Classify the following as Point, Line, or Plane. Write your answer on the space provided.
1. Corner of the classroom ___________

2. Speck of dust ___________
3. Chinese garter ___________
4. Blackboard ___________
5. Ceiling ___________
B. Given the illustration at the right, give what is asked.
1. Name at least 5 points.

________________________________
2. Name the 3 lines using two points on the line.

________________________________
3. Name the 3 lines using one script letter.

________________________________
4. Name the plane in two different ways.

SUM UP
Let’s summarize. You have learned that:
1. A mathematical system is any set of axioms from which some or all axioms can be used in
conjunction to logically derive theorems.
2. There are four parts of a mathematical system. These are: undefined terms, defined terms,
axioms/postulates, and theorems.
3. Some terms in geometry were considered undefined. These are:

a) Point
• It is a specific location in space.
• It has no size meaning no width, no length, and no thickness.
b) Line
• A straight one-dimensional figure with no thickness and extends infinitely in
both directions.
c) Plane
• It is a flat, two-dimensional surface that has no thickness and goes on forever.
4. In geometry, defined terms are terms that have a formal definition and can be defined
using other geometric terms.
5. Axiom/Postulate is a statement that is taken as true, to serve as a premise or starting point

for further reasoning and arguments.
6. Theorem is a statement proven based on axioms, other theorems, and some set of logical
connectives.
