What is a curved surface and a curved edge in geometry 5th grade level?

A curved surface is like imagining a sheet of paper that is bent or a flag waving in the wind. A curved edge is like an elastic stick bent in one(C curve) or more points(S curve). The curved surface beeing 3 dimensional(3D) and the curved edge 2 dimensional(2D) unlike the simple surface and edge which are 2D respectively 1D.


What is a horizontal plane?

A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely. Think of it as a piece of paper that goes on in every direction (but not "up" out of the paper). A horizontal plan just means that it extends horizontally (like a piece of paper on a desk). Another example would be the floor you are standing on or the ceiling above it. However, your monitor is - more than likely - facing up and down. That is NOT a horizontal plane.


What is a flat surface with no edge or boundaries?

A flat surface, like a sheet of paper, with no edges (ie: it goes on and on and on and on....) or boundaries. What you're describing is a 2 dimensional plane. No, not plane like an airplane. A plane is simply a flat "sheet" that goes on forever in 2 dimensions: left/right (wide) and up/down (tall).
