Meet the Shapes – Triangle

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a special shape that has three sides and three corners. Imagine a slice of pizza or a mountain; they look like triangles!

Finding Triangles Around Us

Triangles are everywhere! Look at the roof of a house, the sails on a boat, or even a slice of cheese. Can you find a triangle in your room?

Drawing a Triangle

Let’s draw a triangle together! Start by drawing one straight line. Then, draw another line starting from one end of the first line. Finally, connect the ends with a third line. Yay! You made a triangle!

Fun Triangle Activities

1. Triangle Hunt: Go on a hunt around your house or classroom to find as many triangles as you can. Count them and see how many you find!

2. Triangle Art: Use colored paper to cut out triangles and make a fun picture. You can create a house, a tree, or even a rocket ship!

Triangle Song

Let’s sing a fun song about triangles! “Triangle, triangle, with three sides. Triangle, triangle, with three corners. Triangle, triangle, you’re so neat. Triangle, triangle, can’t be beat!”

Why Triangles are Special

Triangles are strong shapes. Builders use them to make strong bridges and buildings. They help keep things standing tall and strong!

Keep Exploring!

Keep looking for triangles everywhere you go. They are fun to find and help us learn about the world around us!

  • Can you think of a time when you saw a triangle outside, like in a park or on a building? What did it look like, and why do you think it was shaped like a triangle?
  • Why do you think triangles are used to make strong structures like bridges and buildings? Can you think of any other shapes that might be strong too?
  • Imagine you are going on a triangle hunt in your house. Where do you think you might find the most triangles, and why?
  1. Build a Triangle Tower: Use building blocks or small boxes to create a tower using only triangle shapes. See how tall you can make it without it falling over. Talk about why triangles might make your tower strong and stable.

  2. Triangle Nature Walk: Go on a nature walk with an adult and look for triangles in nature. Can you find a triangle in the leaves, rocks, or shadows? Draw or take pictures of the triangles you find and share them with your friends.

  3. Triangle Story Time: Create a short story about a triangle that goes on an adventure. What does the triangle see and do? Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class.
