- Hi! What are you busy with?
- Я зайнятий геометрією. Може, допоможеш?
- Yes, of course. That's easy. Look. Basic geometrical elements are точка, пряма, площина.
- Are the lines all the same?
- Звичайно ні. Вони бувають прямі та криві. А криві бувають замкнуті та незамкнуті.
- And what are these?
- Це кути. Це гострий, це прямий, а це тупий кут.
- What are those, I wonder?
- А це площини. Вони паралельні.
- And one more question. What are basic geometrical shapes?
- Круг і квадрат.
- I see it now. Thanks a lot.
- Будь ласка.
5. Describe some geometrical shapes and use the following adjectives: right, obtuse, acute, open, closed, parallel.
6. The students are at the lesson of Geometry now. Listen to their conversation and learn how to name different geometrical shapes.
А
Peter: What's this?
Olga: It's a ruler.
Peter: What shape is it?
Olga: It's rectangular. It has two equal sides.
Peter: Is the ruler wide?
Olga: No, it isn't. It's rather narrow.
В
Alice: Look at this object. What shape is it?
Paul: I think it's square. It has four right angles and four equal sides.
Alice: No, you are wrong. It's rectangular. Only two parallel sides are equal.
Paul: And the angles are right, aren't they?
Alice: Certainly.
Ask your group mate about the objects in the picture below.
EXAMPLE: A: What is it? A: What are these?
B: This is a small square. B: These are large squares.
Study the table and give answers to the questions in two possible ways.
| Figures | a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a circle |
| Shapes | square, triangular, rectangular, circular |
EXAMPLE: A: What shape is the window?
B: It's rectangular. or It’s a rectangle.
9. Make sentences:
EXAMPLE: (a) This ruler is rectangular.
These are some more geometrical shapes. Match the shape with the correct name.
a) square b) octagon c) heptagon d) hexagon e)rectangle f) decagon g) pentagon
Complete the sentences with the correct form of the word in brackets to describe the shape.
12. That’s how we express agreement and disagreement in English. Study this table.
| HOW TO EXPRESS AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT: | |
| Yes, it is/does. | No, it isn't/doesn't. |
| Certainly. | Certainly not. |
