Triangle Sort the triangles into three groups so that no triangle belongs into more than one group. Once you have sorted them, get one sticky note per each group. Then label your groups with sticky notes to identify the attribute(s) they have in common.

Now let’s look at some of the vocabulary we can use to describe and sort triangles…

Triangles can be classified by: Sides: Scalene No sides are the same length. Isosceles

Triangles can be classified by: Sides: Scalene No sides are the same length. Isosceles At least 2 sides are the same length. Equilateral All sides are the same length. Angles: Right Has one angle that is a right (90 degree) angle. Acute All 3 angles are acute (less than 90 degrees). Obtuse Has 1 angle that is an obtuse angle (greater than 90 degrees).

Creating Triangles Use the Ang. Legs and your knowledge of the types of triangles

Creating Triangles Use the Ang. Legs and your knowledge of the types of triangles to try to create a triangle that fits both labels on the chart. Sketch your triangle on the chart. Equilateral Right Acute Obtuse Isosceles Scalene
