🎯 What You'll Learn

Learning Objectives

1

Identify different geometric elements in the real world

2

Recognize points, lines, parallel lines, and angles in everyday environments

3

Develop observational skills and mathematical thinking

📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 3:6

“In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

— Proverbs 3:6 (WEB)

Just as geometric lines can be straight and purposeful, God guides our paths with precision and intention
