Secondary school geometry is perhaps most succinctly described as the study of shape. Many aspects of shape are studied, such as properties of and relationships among shapes, location of shapes, transformations of shapes, and reasoning about shape. Consider an important counterpoint to this shape story or perhaps chapter zero in the story—the study of vertex-edge graphs, which are geometric objects for which shape is not an essential characteristic.
