DAY 1

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson
Hello there! How are you? Do you miss being in school? I do.
Don’t worry you will soon see your friends and teachers in schools.
Now, that you are familiar with the framework of geometry, you will now see some relationship
that exist among the undefined terms. Let us start by defining what undefined terms are. Do you
have any idea what undefined terms are?
Points, lines and planes are the most basic figures or the building blocks of geometry. They are
called undefined terms because they are described without using other figures.

1. What do you see on the picture?

AXIOM / 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 derive 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 an easy consequence/results of
another theorem.
LEMMA is generally used to describe an auxiliary fact that is used in the proof of a more
significant result.
DAY 2
The important concepts in geometry will be defined by using the three undefined terms and/ or
other terms that have already been defined. A good definition has the following characteristics:
1. A good definition should contain ordinary words and geometric terms that have been
previously defined or accepted as undefined.
2. A good definition should list only the essential properties of the term being defined.
3. A good definition is reversible.
In this lesson you will define terms, illustrate and write the If – then form.
Defined Terms -these are the terms that are defined precisely.

you got 2 out of 4 items, you may now proceed to the
next part of the discussion.
In writing proofs, the properties of equality are used as bases for reasoning.
Properties of Equality
1. Addition Property of Equality (APE)
For all real numbers a, b, c, and d, if a = b and c = d, then a + c = b + d.
Example 1. If x – 4 = 5, then x – 4 + 4 = 5 + 4.
The real number 4 was added to both members of the equation, hence
addition property of equality was applied.

Example 8. If x = y, then y = x.
If x = - 10, then – 10 = x

What is Postulate?

woman in the group, Angie, states that she has the longest hair in the group. You take a quick
glance around, and it looks like she does have that longest hair of all of the people in the group.
Now, are you going to accept her statement as true, or are you going to whip out a tape
measure and measure the length of everyone's hair to verify the truth of her statement? Most
likely, you would accept her statement as true, because it is fairly obvious that she has the
longest hair in the group.
In mathematics, we call a statement like this a postulate. A postulate is a statement that is
accepted as true without having to formally prove it. In the same way that it was fairly obvious
that Angie's hair was the longest in the group, postulates in mathematics are usually easy to
accept as true using simple mathematical reasoning. This is why they don't need to be proven
formally.
For example, a well-known postulate in mathematics is the segment addition postulate, which
states the following:
Looking at the image of this postulate, we see that it is obvious that if we split a line segment
into two parts, then adding up those two parts will give us the original line segment. Therefore,
we accept the postulate as true without having to prove it.
Now that we are familiar with what a postulate is, let's take a look at theorems!
What is a Theorem?
Now, suppose that one of the side effects of
the hair product is that it can cause shortening
of the user's right index finger, so another
question on the questionnaire asks for the
length of the participant's index finger before
using the product. George, a member of the
group, states that his index finger is the
longest in the group. Hmmmm…George's
statement isn't as obvious as Angie's
statement because the lengths of everyone's index fingers look pretty similar. In this case, you
go ahead and measure the right index fingers of the group, and it turns out that George's index
finger is, in fact, the longest in the group.
In this case, George's statement was formally proven and then accepted as true. In
mathematics, we call this a theorem. A theorem is a statement that is not always obvious but
has been proven using mathematical reasoning, along with other theorems and postulates.
For instance, a well-known mathematical theorem is the midpoint theorem, and it states the
following:

Everything in the world of science needs proves. Without proves, the world seems very
senseless. Remember, solving equations in mathematics, where we prove that the Left-hand
side is equal to the right-hand side. Every result known descends from something else; it is
proven to be true from other facts. The one exception is axioms: these things we choose to
accept without verifying them.
A mathematical statement which we assume to be true without proof is called an axiom. These
are universally accepted and general truth.
Let’s check some everyday life examples of axioms.
1. 0 is a Natural Number
0 is a natural number, which is accepted by all the people on earth. We
dont need to prove this statement by any scientific experiment or
calculation.
3. God is one
“God is one” is the most acceptable truth of the universe.
The majority believes in God.

8. All planets Revolve around the Sun
This a general universal acceptable truth that earth and all the other planets revolve around the
sun and same goes with their respected moons; those revolve around their planet.
