  • Dear Ms. Havens,

    I am Pete, the point. I am one point of an endless number ofpoints in space. I want to ask you if you will teach yourstudents about us points and explain how every singlegeometric figure is made up of us. It is very important to mebecause it seems that many people think of the point as asmall part of geometry since we are so little.

    Though we are little, we are one of the most important factorsof our world of geometry. Without me and all other points,there would be no geometric figures. We are their buildingblocks. Though all lines are drawn with one solid mark, inreality, a line is an endless set of points going in oppositedirections. A sphere is a figure with all points at an equaldistance from the center point like me.

    So please, tell your students all about us points. It troublesme when many think of us as unimportant specks in space.Please, spread the reality of our importance to the studentsyou teach. My partners and I would appreciate it greatly.Thank you.

    A point,Pete
