Angles in triangles (age 6+)
Mathematics · Geometry · conceptual
Distinguish defining attributes of shapes (e.g. triangles are closed and three-sided) from non-defining attributes (e.g. colour, orientation, overall size)
What mastery looks like
- Build and draw shapes that possess defining attributes
- Identify that a shape remains a triangle regardless of its size, colour, or orientation
- Explain why a given shape is or is not a particular type based on its defining properties
Check your understanding
Does Angles in triangles (age 6+) understand that what makes a shape a triangle is having 3 sides and 3 corners — not its colour or which way it's pointing?
