Enhance math skills by classifying triangles based on angles and sides through a fun hands-on activity using colored pencils. Learn about acute, obtuse, right, scalene, isosceles, equilateral, and equiangular triangles. Identify angles and side lengths to classify each triangle correctly.

Warm UpFebruary 17, 2011 Complete your Fantastic Four and grab two colored pencils from the back table.
Objective: • Today I will be able to classify different types of triangles.
Every triangle can be classified by its angles and by its sides.
Classifying Triangles by Angles
it is an ACUTETriangle. • If EVERY angle is less than • 90°,
one is fat it’s an OBTUSEtriangle. • If the measure of ONE angle ismore than 90°
No sides the same • If none of the sides have the same length, it is SCALENE.
If • at least two sides measure the same, it is an ISOSCELES triangle.
The angles by the “feet” are always congruent.
If themeasure of EACH • side is • equal, • it is… all the sides equal EQUILATERAL.
all the same • If the measure of EACH angle isequal, it is EQUIANGULAR.
Can a triangle be right and isosceles? What is the measure of the other 1 two angles? 2
A. 45° right triangle isosceles triangle 45°
B. 60° 60° acute triangle equilateral triangle 60° equilangular triangle
C. 65° acute triangle 65° isosceles triangle 50°
D. 17° 135° obtuse triangle scalene triangle 28°
E. 65° acute triangle 79° scalene triangle 36°
F. 71° 68° acute triangle scalene triangle 41°
G. 100° obtuse triangle scalene triangle 55° 25°
Classify Cut and Paste • Start with the color to classify the Sides • Then cut out and classify angles.
