Geometry Basics

Front

What is a point in geometry?

Back

A location in space that is represented by a dot and has no dimensions.

Front

What is a line in geometry?

Back

A straight one-dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in both directions.

Front

What is a plane in geometry?

Back

A flat two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.

Front

What is an angle?

Back

A figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint called the vertex.

Front

What is a conjecture?

Back

A statement that is believed to be true but has not yet been proven.

Front

What is a counterexample?

Back

An example that disproves a conjecture or statement.

Front

What does it mean to disprove a conjecture?

Back

To show that a conjecture is false by providing a counterexample.

Front

What is a pattern in mathematics?

Back

A sequence or arrangement that follows a specific rule or formula.

Front

What is the next number in the pattern: 0, 1, 4, 9, 16?

Back

25 (These are perfect squares: 0^2, 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2).

Front

How do you identify a numerical pattern?

Back

Look for a consistent rule that applies to the sequence of numbers.
