Today's mathematics lesson was to assess that the student's understand the attributes of triangles. Attributes include: 3 vertices (or points), 3 sides, equal sides, unequal sides, straight sides, diagonal or slanty sides. We combined an art lesson and had the students create a repeating triangle design using the color and background to show as many triangles as possible. Have your child identify their work in progress in these pics of triangles!

We learned about how triangles can be connected to each other to leave the green space as a triangle also! It was a challenging project that really made us think about the attributes of triangles.
A fun video to view is:

ReplyDeletehas a lot of resources that support our mathematics learning targets in First Grade.

is one of the links that has Virtual Manipulatives that students can explore.
I just tried the Congruent Triangles, Geoboard and Pattern Blocks links on this site. Have fun trying out these online resources!
