Geometry | Maths

The topic geometry,  includes shapes, the relationships between shapes and the movements that shapes do.

Shapes have two dimensions  - 2d and 3d. 2d shapes are flat that have faces and corners. 3d shape has many faces, vertices, and edges. Vertices are where the edges or side meet and edges are lines that help form a side. 

The relationship between both dimensions are sort of the same because 3d shape are just repeating the 2d shape in different areas.

There are three movements that shapes do, they are called Rotation, Reflection and Transformation.

Rotation is turning the shape clockwise or anti-clockwise, it depends on where the shape is placed. Clockwise is turning right and anti-clockwise is turning left.

Reflection is looking at yourself in a clear type object but in maths it means to flip the object to the opposite way, it depends on how or where the shape is placed.

Transformation is changing the position of the shape to a different place. It also means an impact of changing into a different form.
