How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dot on the bottom line, go up the slant to the tip on the top line, down the other side, then back along the bottom line to where you began.
  • The next triangle starts at the corner where the last one ended, so the triangles touch at their base corners.
  • On the blank part, keep both sides equally steep so the tip sits in the middle of each triangle.

What this worksheet teaches

A triangle combines two diagonals with a straight base and three sharp corners, which makes it one of the more demanding shapes to copy; most children can copy a triangle on their own from around age 5. Drawing a row of them at 6–8 consolidates diagonal control, stopping at corners and closing a shape exactly at its start point. These are the building blocks of letters like A, V, W and k and of neat geometric drawings in math lessons.

Play idea

Mountains or tents: your child decides whether a row is a mountain range or a campsite, then adds snowcaps to three mountains or doors to three tents. Choosing the three most even triangles is a quick self-check.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Where should each triangle start?
At the bottom left corner, marked by the dot in the first one: go up, down and back along the base.
My child's triangles have one side much longer. What helps?
Put a small dot for the tip on the top line first, in the middle, then draw both sides to it.
Is copying triangles normal at this age?
Yes; copying a triangle is a typical skill from around age 5, and at 6–8 the focus moves to neatness and equal size.
