How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom-left corner of the solid triangle, go up to the peak on the top line, down to the bottom-right corner and back along the bottom line to the start.
- Trace the four to six dashed triangles in the same order.
- Draw the rest of the row alone, starting each new triangle where the previous one ends on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
Most children copy a triangle a little later than a square, often around five to five and a half, because the two slanted sides must meet in a sharp point at the right height. This card practices exactly that: a diagonal up, a diagonal down and a straight base that closes the shape. The same diagonals appear in A, V, W and M. The half-traced rows set the size for 5–6 year olds and leave space to try it alone.
Play idea
Mountain range: your child adds snow to the tops of the free triangles and draws a tiny flag on the highest-looking peak in each row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where does each triangle start?
At the bottom-left corner, marked by the dark dot on the first triangle. The peak comes next, then the right corner and the base.
Why must the peak be sharp?
A sharp peak shows the pencil stopped and changed direction. A rounded top turns the triangle into an arch.
Is it a problem if the triangles overlap?
They should just touch at the base corners, as in the model. Overlapping usually means they are getting too wide.
