This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
In this module, you will learn the axiomatic structure of a mathematical system and why there is a need to learn them. The scope of this module enables you to use it in many different learning situations. The lesson is arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
This module contains:
- Lesson 1 – Illustrating Axiomatic Structures of a Mathematical System
Objectives: After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. define axiomatic system;
2. determine the importance of an axiomatic system in geometry;
3. illustrate the undefined terms; and
4. cite definitions, postulates, and theorems involving points, lines and planes.
