Triangles

What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

Learners examine a figure made up of different types of triangles and then determine whether each triangle is right, acute, or obtuse. Next, they color each type of triangle a different color. Finally, pupils answer three fill in the...

After reviewing characteristics of seven types of triangles, young geometers discover how to find the missing angle of a triangle. Then, they practice identifying triangles, find missing angles, and find missing side lengths of similar...

With so many different types of triangles, it can be a challenge for young mathematicians to keep them all straight. Luckily this set of printable triangles is here to engage children in comparing and sorting triangles by their...

What has three sides and is adorable? A-cute triangle. The resource introduces triangles and how to classify them by sides and angles or both. The video concludes with using the sum of the angles of a triangle to show how to solve for a...

Even though there is a wide variety of different triangles in the world, knowing a single equation allows us to find the area of each and every one of them. Follow along with this step-by-step presentation as Zoe clearly models how to...

While the lesson focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in in half; can they...

Help your class develop a greater understanding of the area of a right triangle. The video starts by reviewing the area of a rectangle and noting that the rectangle is made up of two congruent triangles. Learners are then shown that in...

If you're looking for a presentation to assist you in your teaching of triangles, this one could be for you. In it, learners are shown how triangles are classified by the size of their angles and by their sides. These are tricky concepts...

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to check if this given triangle, with the given lengths of each side, is a right triangle. It's as simple as plugging the given values into the formula and doing the math to see if the solution checks...
