Introduction to Triangles: Classification by Sides and Angles
Students will classify triangles as equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, obtuse, or right-angled.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between various types of triangles based on their side lengths and angle measures.
- Analyze the unique properties of an equilateral triangle.
- Construct a triangle that fits a specific classification (e.g., an isosceles right-angled triangle).

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
