\begin{gathered} \text{A point represents a position only, in a classroom setting, it could be a ball} \\ \text{sitting in the floor.} \\ \text{A line can be thought of as a connected points, in mathematics, a line extends infinitely} \\ \text{since no such thing exist in a classroom, if you have a meter/yard stick lying around , we} \\ \text{can thought of that as a line.} \\ \text{A plane is an infinite set of points forming a connected flat surface,} \\ \text{we can think of the classroom floor as the plane, in where the ball,} \\ \text{and the meter/yard stick is located.} \end{gathered}
