Talk:Geometry for Elementary School/Constructing equilateral triangle

How's is this for elementary school?
"In mathematical logic, we assume some postulates. We construct proofs by advancing step by step. A proof should be made only of postulates and claims that can be deduced from the postulates. Some useful claims are given name and called theorems in order to enable to use them in future proofs."

I'm an adult and I have to look up postulates.

I agree, I think axiom is probably better, put still not that obvious. Also this point: "For example, according to the postulates he used the circles A and B do not have to intersect." Makes more sense if instead it reads something like: "The proof doesn't show that the circles A and B intersect, a fact that doesn't follow directly from the axioms stated.".
