===Notes for teachers===
  −
The teacher can talk about Euclid and his contributions to geometry, Euclid's Elements (is a mathematical and geometric treatise consisting of 13 books written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid).<br>
  −
Geometric basic facts taken for granted are called axioms.  These are universally accepted and do not need any proofs. These statements are the basis to understand and prove higher geometrical theorems.<br>
  −
 
  −
Euclid's Axioms (or Common Notions)<br>
  −
*Axiom 1 - Things which equal the same thing also equal one another.
  −
*Axiom 2 - If equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal.
  −
*Axiom 3 - If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are equal.
  −
*Axiom 4 - Things which coincide with one another equal one another.
  −
*Axiom 5 - The whole is greater than the part.

Ask students to give some more examples to reiterate the axioms.<br>
   
#Given <P = <Q  and  <Q = <R, according to which axiom of Euclid, the relation between <P and <R is established ?
 
#Given <P = <Q  and  <Q = <R, according to which axiom of Euclid, the relation between <P and <R is established ?
 
#If a + b = 8cm, Is it true to say that a + b + y = 8 + y ?
 
#If a + b = 8cm, Is it true to say that a + b + y = 8 + y ?
Question Corner
  −
#What was the name of the book written by Euclid ? How many chapters did it have ?
   
#If AB = 4cm, CD = 8cm  and PQ = two times AB. Are CD and PQ equal ? Which axiom is used for proving this ?
