SLJ Kick Start: Draw a Geometree

Today, I made a geometrical tree using different types of triangles.

First, I watched a video and followed the steps to learn how to make my design.

Second, I got a piece of paper and started making the stem of my tree.

Next, I made small branches and joined them to make triangles.

Lastly, I highlighted to add colors and make borders of the shapes.

An interesting fact is that the word 'geometry' comes from the Greek words 'geo', meaning earth, and 'metria', meaning measure.

I learnt that geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to learn about geometry and I have never tried it before.

    Chris here, from the Summer Learning Journey.

    Pai mahi on doing the Draw a Geometree Kick Start activity! Tēnā koe for explaining the steps you took in completing this task. Great that you learnt what geometry is, as well. Can you think of a way you might use this knowledge in the future?

    Love the colours! Is this a tree in autumn, given the warm colours you’ve given the leaves of the tree?

    Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!


    Ngā mihi,

    1. Mōrena Chris,

      Thank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
      I think that geometry is very important and I can use this knowledge in the future because I want to be an engineer that uses geometry to make designs.
      Before I didnt think of this as an autumn tree but since you told me it kinda looks like a swampy autumn tree.
      Do you like geometry? And do you know any interesting facts about it?

      Thank you so much!
      I am looking forward to your reply.

    2. Kia ora Sahil,

      I don't particularly, no. That's so great you want to be an engineer, though! What inspired you to do that?


      Tēnā koe,

    3. Kia ora Chris,

      Thank you for replying to my comment.
      I got inspired to be an engineer by my uncle.
      He is a civil engineer and designs and constructs infrastructure projects.
      I want to be like him because I like to design things.

      Thank you so much!
