Summary
Ever feel like measuring space? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you the basics of geometry, the branch of math that’ll help you do just that! You’ll start out by learning about Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician whose ideas are still taught in math classes today. Next, you’ll find out the difference between a point and a line, what two-dimensional figures are, and what it means for an object to have length, width, and depth. Finally, you’ll learn about some of the basic physical tools you can use to measure things like angles--and how far off course a kid and a robot can get on a boat out in the ocean!
