Learning Objective Today, we will classify1 triangles by their attributes. 1 put into groups Name __________________________ CFU What are we going to do today? What does classify mean? Classify means __________. Activate (or Provide) Prior Knowledge A triangle is a shape with three sides and three angles. Which two triangles are the same? 1. A B C 2. A B C CFU Students, you already know that some triangles look the same. Triangles that are the same can sometimes be classified into groups. Today, we will classify triangles by their attributes.

Sides Angles Equilateral Isosceles Scalene Right Concept Development Triangles can be classified by their attributes2. The attributes of a triangle are the sides and angles. 2 features Classifying Triangles by: Go to Skill Dev. An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. A scalene triangle has no equal sides. Equilateral Isosceles Scalene Sides Right A right triangle has one right angle. 3 cm 6 cm 4 cm 2 cm 5 cm A right angle is a 90° angle. Angles Because of the simplicity of identifying right triangles (a yes or no answer), the skill development for the second loop (right triangles) is meant to be done on flash cards.
