ISEE Upper Level Mathematics Achievement

ISEE Upper Level Mathematics Achievement focuses on advanced mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills necessary for success in the ISEE exam.

Advanced Topics

Geometry: Shapes, Angles, and Measurement

Exploring the World of Shapes

Geometry is all about the properties and relationships of shapes and spaces.

Key Concepts

  • Angles: Measured in degrees, angles are formed where two lines meet.
  • Triangles: Three sides, three angles. The angles always add up to 180°.
  • Circles: Round shapes with all points the same distance from the center.
  • Perimeter and Area: Perimeter is the distance around a shape; area is the space inside.

Measurement

Use formulas to find lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes.

Real-World Connection

Architecture, art, and sports fields all use geometry for design and measurement!

Examples

  • Calculating the area of a rectangular garden to buy enough soil.

  • Measuring the angles in a triangle when making a paper airplane.

In a Nutshell

Geometry helps you measure and understand the shapes and spaces around you.
