Today, I made a geometrical tree using three different types of triangles.
First, I watched the video about the three different types of traingles.
The three different types of triangles were equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles.
An equilateral traingle has three equal sides. It is also called equiangular triangle. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. A scalene triangle has no sides that are equal.
Next, I identified the different shapes and color coded my geometrical tree.
The equilateral triangles are colored in pink, the isosceles triangles are colored in yellow and the scalene triangles are colored in orange.
Then, I took a photo of my geometree from my Chromebook's camera and uploaded it to my drive.
Lastly, I inserted the colored image on my blogpost.
An interesting fact is that an equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to learn how to use geometree in drawings.
Mōrena Sahil!

Pai mahi on doing the Draw a Geometree Step it Up activity! Tēnā koe for explaining the steps you took in completing this task. You’ve given so much detail here, it’s really fantastic! Did you think triangles had different names before you learnt what they were during this task?
Love the colours on this tree as well as your Kick Start tree! Also really appreciate that the colours tell us which type of triangle we are looking at. Ka pai!
Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
Mōrena Chris,
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
Yes, I did know that there were different types of triangles but I didn't know their names.
Do you know any other types of triangles other then that?
DId you know that the polygon with three sides is called a triangle because “tri” is a prefix that means “three"?
Thank you so much!
I am looking forward to your reply.

Kia ora Sahil,
DeleteI was aware of them, but wasn't sure of the names either. Definitely couldn't name any others!
I did indeed know that "tri" is a prefix that means "three," i.e. in the case of the tricerotops, which has three horns.
No worries!
Tēnā koe,
Chris
