Shape Workshop: Sort Triangle Families
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: recognizing triangles despite different side lengths and directions
1
Circle a triangle that points up.
2
Circle a triangle that points down.
3
Find a skinny triangle and count its three sides.
4
Find a wide triangle and count its three corners.
5
Sort four drawings into triangle and not-triangle columns.
6
Draw a triangle in a new direction and show an adult the three corners.
- Include rotated and narrow examples before asking for a final sort.
- Have the child trace all three straight edges as evidence for each decision.
- Do not introduce triangle types here; keep the goal on the shared three-side property.
