Triangles Tracing Worksheet — Large Patterns, Draw from the Model, 6 Rows, Ages 5–6

Triangles stand shoulder to shoulder in six large rows, their corners touching; after one solid and one dashed triangle, 5- and 6-year-olds build the rest of the row alone.

How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dark dot in the bottom-left corner. Slant up to the point on the top line, slant down to the bottom line, then go back along the bottom to where you started.
  • The next triangle starts at the bottom corner where the last one ended, so the row becomes a chain of touching triangles.
  • Keep each triangle as wide as the model: 8 to 11 fit in a row.

What this worksheet teaches

One triangle holds three different lines: a slant up, a slant down and a straight line back along the base, with three sharp corners to stop at. Closing the shape exactly at the starting corner builds accuracy, and fitting the next triangle against the last one teaches spacing without gaps or overlaps. The two slants are the same movements as in A and V, and the flat base is practice for the bottom lines of letters such as L and E.

Play idea

Tent camp: your child draws a tiny door in some of the triangles they drew alone and a campfire at the end of the row.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why is the bottom line drawn last?
The path goes up, down and back along the base, so the shape closes where it started.
My child's triangles overlap or leave gaps. What helps?
Point to the shared bottom corner before each new triangle: that is where the next one begins.
How many triangles are drawn without dashes?
About six to nine per row, depending on the row.
