Designing Triangles
| Designing Triangles |
| Real World Activity: Let's imagine you are an architect for a day. Your assignment today is to design buildings using equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles from the knowledge previously learned. Once you have designed your buildings make sure to label the triangles with their correct names and measurements. The three different triangles you will use to design your buildings are isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles. |
| Lesson 1 Directions 1. Draw different buildings in a town setting in the Microsoft Paint Program using scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles. 2. Label the buildings drawn with their proper triangle names. 3. For additional assistance in identifying the 3 triangles you will be drawing refer to Math League for review. |
| Lesson 2 Directions 1. Draw different buildings in a town setting using construction paper, crayons, or markers. 2. Use a ruler to measure the sides of the lengths of each triangles. 3. Label each triangle drawn with their proper names. (isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles) 4. Visit ask Earl website for characteristics on the three different triangles you are to draw. Activity: Students will pretend to be architects for one day and draw buildings in a town setting of isosceles, scalene, and equilateral geometric figures either in Microsoft paint or on construction paper using markers or crayons. |
GPS Standard: M3G1
PLO: Students will be able to identify different geometric figures and state their properties. (scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles)
