The number three is a special number that we see in math and all around us every day. Let’s learn about the number three, how to draw triangles, and where we can find the number three in our lives!
Triangles are cool shapes that have three sides and three corners. They are one of the simplest shapes you can find. Knowing about triangles helps us learn about shapes and geometry.

Isn’t it fun to see how three lines come together to make a triangle?
When we write the number three, we use the digit “3.” It looks like a bump on top and another bump underneath. This makes it easy to remember and write!
We also spell the number three as T-H-R-E-E. Knowing how to spell numbers helps us read and write better.
We see the number three all around us. For example, if you see three buses at a bus stop, you can count them: one, two, three! Counting things helps us understand numbers better.
The number three is important in stories too. For example, Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, holds a trident with three prongs. This shows how powerful he is over the sea. Isn’t it interesting how the number three shows up in stories?
The number three is more than just a number. It’s a part of shapes, words, and stories. By learning how to draw triangles, write the number, and see it in our world, we can understand why the number three is so important. Whether in math or in our everyday lives, the number three helps us learn about the world around us!
Triangle Hunt: Go on a triangle hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have the shape of a triangle. Can you find three different items? Draw a picture of each item and share with your friends or family. Discuss why these items are shaped like triangles and how they are used in everyday life.
Number Three Art: Create a piece of art using the number three. You can draw or paint three objects, like three apples or three stars.
