Lines, Line Segments, Rays, Angles, Right Angles

 Lines, Line Segments, Rays, Angles, Right Angles Let's read the poem below. What is it really talking about?  What types of lines are mentioned?  In a world of points and space so vast, Where lines and shapes are formed to last, Let's embark on a journey, hand in hand, To explore the wonders of this mathematical land. Lines stretch forth, infinite and straight, No curves or bends, they never hesitate. Line segments, shorter, from end to end, A finite distance, where boundaries blend. Rays reach out, with one fixed point to guide, Extending infinitely, with nothing to hide. Angles form where lines intersect, Acute, obtuse, or a right angle, perfect. Shapes emerge, from lines we trace, Triangles, squares, circles embrace. With angles sharp and sides aligned, A geometric world, beautifully designed. So come, young minds, let's dive right in, To discover the secrets this math can spin. With STEM at our side, we'll explore and play, In the realm of lines, angles, and shapes...
