How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dot in the bottom-left corner: slant up to the top guide line, slant down to the bottom line and close the base back to the start.
  • Trace the dashed triangle, then keep drawing triangles along the row, each beginning at the corner where the last one ended.
  • Keep the tips on the top line and all bases on the bottom line, with triangles of the same width.

What this worksheet teaches

Copying a triangle is a typical milestone around age five, and it needs two diagonal strokes in opposite directions plus a horizontal closing line. Without a trace, your child has to aim the tip and the next corner by eye, which builds visual judgement and planning. The same up and down slants make A, V, W and 4. The large size gives long sides, so any wobble or change of angle is easy for the child to see and correct in the next triangle.

Play idea

Tent camp: each triangle becomes a tent. Your child draws a small door on the tents they are happiest with and counts how many campers could sleep in the row, one per tent.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Do the triangles need to touch each other?
Yes, as in the model: each one starts where the previous base ended, so they stand corner to corner.
The tips are rounded. How can I help?
Ask for a short stop at the top before sliding down; the pause makes the tip sharp.
Should my child do the half-tracing triangle card first?
If triangles are new, yes; this model-only card works best once your child can draw them along a half-dashed row.
