Solid Geometry Curriculum
Fifth Scientific Grade
⟦line⟧
Any two intersecting lines determine one plane only.
Results related to determining the plane.
Two planes intersect in a straight line.
Exercises on the above.
Definition of parallelism for a line and a plane and for two planes.
If a line and a plane are parallel, then the intersection line of any plane passing through the line with this plane is parallel to the known line.
If two lines are parallel, then every plane passing through only one of them is parallel to the other line.
Two lines parallel to a third line are parallel.
The intersection lines of two parallel planes ⟦with a plane⟧ are two parallel lines.
If two intersecting lines are parallel to a known plane, then their plane is parallel to the known plane.
If the two sides of an angle are parallel to the sides of another angle, the two angles are equal or supplementary, and their planes are parallel.
If three or more parallel planes are cut by two lines, the segments intercepted between the planes are proportional.
Exercises on the above
Perpendicularity of a line and a plane
A line perpendicular to two intersecting lines at their point of intersection is perpendicular to their plane.
All perpendiculars erected on a line from a given point on it lie in one plane perpendicular to the line at that point.
It is possible to draw one line perpendicular to a plane from a given point on it, and no other can be drawn.
Exercises on the above.
If two lines are parallel, then the plane perpendicular to one of them is perpendicular to the other.
A line perpendicular to one of two parallel planes is perpendicular to the other.
If from a point on a plane two lines are drawn, one perpendicular to the plane and the other perpendicular to a known line in the plane,
then the line connecting any point on the perpendicular to the plane and the meeting point of the two perpendicular lines located in the plane
is perpendicular to the known line.
Exercises on the above
Definitions covering dihedral angles, perpendicularity of planes, and the surface.
If two planes are perpendicular, then a line drawn in one of them perpendicular to the intersection line is perpendicular to the other plane.
A plane passing through a line perpendicular to a known plane is perpendicular to the known plane.
If each of two intersecting planes is perpendicular to a third plane, then their intersection line is perpendicular to that plane.
Exercises on the above.

The projection of a straight line onto a plane not perpendicular to it is a straight line.
Definition of the inclination of a straight line to a plane.
The angle between a straight line and its projection on a plane is smaller than any angle between the line itself and any other line
drawn from its position within that plane.
Exercises on the above.
The locus of points equidistant from the ends of a line segment is the plane perpendicular to the line segment
at its midpoint.
Locus - its definition in the plane, then moving to the definition in space through examples.
The locus of points equidistant from the points of a circle's circumference is the perpendicular to the plane of the circle from its center.
The locus of points equidistant from two parallel planes is a plane perpendicular to the distance between the two planes at its midpoint.
The locus of points equidistant from two intersecting planes is a plane that bisects the dihedral angle between them.
Exercises on the above.
The prism and the cylinder: their definitions and most important properties.
Every two opposite faces in a parallelepiped are parallel and congruent.
If the lateral edges of a prism are cut by two parallel planes, the two resulting sections are congruent.
The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the product of its three dimensions.
Two prisms are equivalent if their bases and heights are equal.
The volume of any prism is equal to the product of the area of its base and its height.
The lateral area of a prism is equal to the product of the perimeter of its right section and the length of its lateral edge.
The two bases of a cylinder are congruent.
If a cylinder is cut by a plane passing through one of its generators, the resulting section is a parallelogram.
The lateral area of a circular cylinder is equal to the perimeter of its right section times the length of its generator.
The volume of a cylinder is equal to the product of the area of its base and its height.
The pyramid and the cone: the definition of each and their most important properties.
If a pyramid is cut by a plane parallel to its base, the following occurs: -
1 - Each of the lateral edges and the height are divided into proportional parts.
2 - The section is a shape similar to its base.
Two pyramids equal in base and height are equivalent.
The volume of a triangular pyramid is equal to one-third of the product of the area of its base and its height.
The volume of any pyramid is equal to one-third of the product of its base and its height.
The volume of a frustum of a pyramid V = 1/3 h ( B + B' + ⟦√⟧ B B' ) where B, B' are the areas of its bases and h is its height.
The lateral area of a regular pyramid is equal to half the product of the perimeter of its base and its slant height.
- To be continued -
- 3 -
The lateral area of a regular truncated pyramid is equal to half the product of its lateral height and the sum of its bases.
If the surface of a cone is cut by a plane passing through its vertex, the resulting section is a triangle.
Cutting the cone with a plane parallel to its base results in a circle.
After that, the laws for the lateral, volumetric, and total area of the cone are derived from the corresponding laws in the pyramid and the set of limits.
Exercises on the cone
The sphere: its definition. Its important parts.
If the surfaces of two spheres intersect, the section is a circle whose plane is perpendicular to the line of their centers and its center lies on this line ⟦line⟧
Definition of the tangent plane to the sphere.
The plane perpendicular to the radius of the sphere at its end located on its surface is tangent to the sphere.
The area of the surface resulting from the movement of a straight line around another in its plane is equal to the product of the length of the projection of the line
on the axis and the length of the circumference of the circle whose radius is the perpendicular bisector of the line and bounded between it and the axis.
The surface area of the sphere is equal to the product of 4 times the square of its radius and the constant ratio.
The volume of the sphere is equal to the product of its surface area and one-third of its radius.
Exercises on the sphere.

Arithmetic and Measurements Curriculum for Primary Education
1959 - 1960
Purpose:
The primary purpose of teaching arithmetic and measurements in primary schools is to properly prepare students for a useful practical life by providing them with the necessary arithmetic and geometric information, making them capable of benefiting from what they have learned, and habituating them to order, accuracy, and speed in completing tasks.
To achieve these purposes, the following must be observed:
Directives:
1 - The necessity of starting with sensory examples when teaching arithmetic; that is, the teacher should use tangible objects to help children understand the meanings of numbers so they grasp them fully, using beads, cubes, buttons, grains, and other visual aids familiar to students. The teacher should not move to mental and abstract arithmetic until ensuring that students understand the meaning of numbers as required.
2 - Paying attention to practical, mental, and written exercises in every lesson and ensuring a good understanding of every rule before moving on to another.
3 - The teacher must avoid giving problems that are far from reasonable or from the student's environment and daily life, and should strive to make the given problems something that sparks the student's desire to solve them due to their connection to the environment in which they live. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the logical sequence of the solution and the extraction of results, and to train students to verify their accuracy, especially in advanced classes.
4 - Students should not be forced to memorize definitions; it is preferable not to mention arithmetic rules, but rather to lead students to deduce them during the solution with the teacher's assistance.
5 - The teacher must train their students to think about problems to understand them before starting the solution, and should not allow them to perform any step before knowing the purpose of performing it.
6 - It is necessary to make students understand the reasons upon which the basic rules were built; for example, in calculating the area of a triangle, the student must understand why the base is multiplied by the height and the product is divided by two, just as they must understand why the diameter of a circle is multiplied by the constant ratio when calculating its circumference... and so on...
7 - Numbers must not be used except as units, especially in the first three years, such as saying: 12 pens, 17 notebooks, 5 books... etc. Their sensory meanings should be presented to the students at first, then the teacher moves at the appropriate time to abstractions.
8 - Complete care must be given to mental arithmetic by habituating students to correct thinking and discussing and questioning them with various questions until they reach the appropriate solution method.
9 - It is necessary to train students from time to time to perform instantaneous operations to habituate them to speed and accuracy and to instill a spirit of enthusiasm and competition among them.
10- The teaching of arithmetic must be connected to other subjects such as drawing, science, manual work, home economics, and others.
11- It is mandatory to pay attention to practical measurements and make them very precise; the teacher is not allowed to draw a line on the board without using a ruler and then say: this is a straight line, nor is it allowed to estimate the length of the line according to their whim, assuming its length is 5 cm or 10 cm arbitrarily. Rather, it is mandatory to take care with drawing and measurement with all precision to habituate students to estimating correct lengths and not tolerating error, even if it is slight.
- 2 -
12- Tangible visual aids must be used when teaching the subjects of currency, measures,
capacities, and weights, and students should be given the opportunity to perform measuring, gauging, and weighing
themselves.
13- The teacher should not be satisfied with a passing reference to the locations of errors when correcting
notebooks, but rather must take care to make every student who made a mistake understand the reasons for falling into
the error and guide them to the correct method to avoid what they fell into.
14- The teacher should not move from one topic to another except after ensuring that all students have
mastered the first topic.
15- It is necessary to arrange the exercises given to students according to their progression from ease to
difficulty so that the student feels the ease of the subject they are studying and a desire is generated in them
to engage with it.
16- It is necessary to practice children's games when teaching numbers in the primary grades because
the relationships between numbers are implicitly present in many children's games in which points are calculated
and which contain easy arithmetic operations.
17- Delaying practice on problem-solving until students learn all the mechanical operations
prescribed in the curriculum must be avoided, and problems and issues must be presented with every
mechanical exercise.
18- The teacher must take into account individual differences and care about making weak students understand and emphasize
specifically the care for the cleanliness and organization of notebooks.
19- It is supposed that the teacher discusses problem-solving with their students by involving the largest number of them
using various means of encouragement and engagement, because focusing on one student when solving
a question arouses boredom and weariness in the souls of the rest and pushes them to turn away from the topic of
the lesson.
