Triangles, Triangles, Triangles!

Happy Monday!

Today, we began our geometry unit by looking at the 3 different kinds of triangles: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene. 

Let's take a closer look at each:

Equilateral - We recognized that the word "equilateral" sounds a lot like "equal", which means the same.  We are so smart that we figured out that an equilateral triangle is a triangle with all 3 sides the same length.

Isosceles (eye-saw-so-leez) - We learned that an isosceles triangle is one with two sides that are the same length.

Scalene (skay-leen) - We figured that if an equilateral had 3 sides of the same length, and an isosceles had 2 sides of the same length, then a scalene triangle must have 3 sides of different lengths. 

We're so smart...

See you tomorrow!
