| Parallel lines | In a place, lines that never intersect. |
| Point | An exact location in space |
| Plane | An endless flat surface |
| acute angle | An angle that is less than a right angle. |
| angle | A figure formed by two rays that have the same meeting point |
| Obtuse angle | An angle that is greater than a right angle. |
| Line segment | A part of a line that has two endpoints. |
| Right angle | An angle that forms a square corner. |
| Ray | A part of a line that has one endpoint and continues endlessly on one direction. |
| Straight angle | An angle that forms a straight line. |
| Protractor | A tool used to measure and draw angles. |
| Degrees | The measurement used for angles. |
