Geometry & Time | Maths

This week, I was taught about geometry. Geometry is shapes and measurements. I was also informed about time.

Ariana first told me about the different kinds of shapes, like 2d shapes and 3d shapes. 2d stands for 2 dimensional, and 3d stands for 3 dimensional. 2d is a flat shape that can be measured using width and height. 3d shapes can be measured using width, height, and depth. 

Ariana also informed me that vertices are where two or more lines meet up on a shape. Edges are the corners on the shapes.

Paul explained to me that the base of time is 60. Some examples are: 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour. There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year, and 10 years in a decade. 

Paul also informed me that there are 3 main ways to tell time, analog, digital, and 24 hour time. Analog time uses hands and is shown on a clock. Digital time uses a lightup display. 24 hour time begins at 0000 and ends at 2359.

I think I was a good teacher because I went through the lesson quickly, and both students seemed to understand what I was explaining. I also enjoyed being taught because my classmates informed me about things that I needed a better understanding on.
