Teachers might find the complete Geometry Topic List useful.
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with
questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of
space. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of
practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes, with elements of a
formal mathematical science emerging in the West as early 6th Century BC.
