Geometry stories and applications vary across cultures and time.
Elaboration
  • Geometry is more than a list of axioms and deductions. Non-Western and modern geometry is concerned with shape and space and is not always axiomatic. It is not always about producing a theorem; rather, it is about modelling mathematical and non-mathematical phenomena using geometric objects and relations. Today geometry is used in a multitude of disciplines, including animation, architecture, biology, carpentry, chemistry, medical imaging, and art.
  • Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
    • Can we find geometric relationships in local First Peoples art or culture?
    • Can we make geometric connections to story, language, or past experiences?
    • What do we notice about and how would we construct common shapes found in local First Peoples art?
    • How has the notion of “proof” changed over time and in different cultures?
    • How are geometric ideas implemented in modern professions?
