Understanding Rays and Line Segments

This video tutorial for Grade 4, Module 4, Lesson 1, introduces key geometric concepts such as points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles. The lesson emphasizes teaching these concepts through activities rather than rote memorization. It provides step-by-step instructions for drawing and identifying geometric figures and highlights their presence in everyday objects. The tutorial also covers the correct notation and naming conventions for geometric elements, ensuring students understand the differences between lines, line segments, and rays, as well as how to identify angles using vertex points.
