Norwegian term

lovmessige former

Norwegian to English Science Mathematics & Statistics Geometry
Fargelegging av lovmessige former og mønstre løfter fram den estetiske siden ved geometriformene og kan gi skjønnhetsopplevelser. Gjennom sirkeløvelser og omhyllingskurver blir elevene kjent med parabler og hyperbler, og de oppdager lovmessigheter som ellipser er underlagt.

Not sure what these 'lovmessigheter' relate to in maths.

I think this is related to predictable repetitions or predictability
From the reference below: "Patterns help children understand change and that things happen over time .... Patterns help children make predictions because they begin to understand what comes next."

I think I'd translate "lovmessige former" as "geometric shapes" and "lovmessigheter" as "predictable repetitions or predictability".

Learning to recognize patterns and regularities in shapes prepares children for more advanced math learning in the future.

Norwegian term (edited): lovmessig/e form/er

paradigmatic shape/s

> de oppdager lovmessigheter som ellipser er underlagt : they discover paradigms (immutable rules) to which ellipses / ellipticals are subject.

Example sentence:

Therefore, if a shape is still needed but a geometric object is not needed anymore, the Shape property should be set to Shape. Empty or Shape.Infinite. These are special immutable shapes that will never raise Shape.

It probably has to do with immutable features of geometry and math. For instance if reality is some weird 62-dimensional polyhedron, there are fixed geometric laws that pin down the number of facets and vertices it can have.
