Triangles

How to use this worksheet

Start on the dot at the bottom-left corner, slant up to the tip on the top line, slant down to the bottom line and close the base back to the start.
Begin the next triangle at the right corner of the previous one, so the triangles stand side by side.
Copy the size of the sample: every tip reaches the top line and every base rests on the bottom line.

What this worksheet teaches

Copying a triangle is usually harder than copying a square because both sides are diagonal and the tip has to land exactly halfway between the corners. Seven rows drawn from a model test whether your child can keep the slants symmetrical and the size steady over a long page, skills that feed into neat letters like A, V, W and M. It also builds the habit of checking against a model, needed when copying words from the board.

Play idea

Pine forest: add a short trunk under some triangles to turn them into trees and draw a small cabin between two of them. Your child decides which row is the thickest forest.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why close each triangle along the bottom line?

The base makes each triangle a complete shape resting on the line, like letters on a baseline. The dot shows where each triangle begins and ends.

The copied triangles tilt as if they are falling over. How can we fix that?

Show your child that the tip of the model sits right above the middle of its base. A tiny pencil mark on the top line as a target helps for one row; then drop it.

Seven rows is a lot. Should all be done at once?

Two short sessions work better than one long one; neat triangles are the aim, not a finished page.
