Content:

• Review previous topic of basic shapes
• Introduction to straight lines and curves
• Discuss angles: acute and obtuse
• Identify directions: north, south, east, and west

Lines

1. Straight Line: It is a straight path that goes on forever in both directions. For example, the edge of a ruler is like a straight line. 
2. Ray: It starts at one point and goes on forever in one direction. Imagine a flashlight beam that starts at the light and continues out. 
3. Line Segment: It is a part of a line that has two endpoints. For example, the length of your pencil is a line segment.

4. Parallel Lines: These are lines that never meet. They stay the same distance apart. For example, the two rails of a train track.
5. Perpendicular Lines: These are lines that cross at a right angle (90 degrees). For example, a plus sign (+) or the corner of a paper.

Bearing

1. Bearing: It is the direction from one place to another, measured in degrees from the north direction. 
2. How to Read Bearing: Always measure from the north, going clockwise. For example, if a place is east, its bearing is 90°. 
3. Finding Bearing: If you are standing at point A and want to find the bearing to point B, you first face north. Then, you turn clockwise towards point B. Measure the angle you turned in degrees. 

Angles

1. Angle: It is the space between two lines that meet at a point. 
2. Acute Angle: It is less than 90 degrees. Like the angle of a slice of pizza. 
3. Right Angle: It is exactly 90 degrees. Like the corner of a square. 
4. Obtuse Angle: It is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Like the angle of a door when it’s slightly open. 
5. Straight Angle: It is exactly 180 degrees. It looks like a straight line. 
6. Reflex Angle: It is more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. Like the angle of a door opened very wide.
