Shape and Space in Geometry Geometry is the mathematics of shape and space. Here's a chance to put those memories to rest, to experience geometry anew. At its roots, geometry is not abstract. Rather, it's fun and colorful, instructive and practical.
Geometry is naturally concrete.
This lab divides activities into two broad categories. Activities about shape center on identifying properties of various shapes and measuring their dimensions. Simply put, geometry is important to real life. Before you start the activities, read this background to find out why.
