Today
we will be learning about triangles and different types of triangles.
I will have each student answer the questions below. I have
provided a website to assist the students in their research. To
help find the answers you need to look at Step 1: First Glance and Step
2: In Depth on the website. To move from one step to the other
click on the step you want at the top of the page. Click on the
link "Questions" to print off a copy of the questions.

Once
you have answered the questions above, I want you to create the six
different types of triangles. Use the two different ways that
triangles are classified to come up with the six different types.
You will create these triangles in paint.
