Hands on Triangles

Today’s Tuesday Teaching Tip comes to us from CKA Board Member and Transitional Kindergarten teacher Heather Morrow.

Here’s a math activity we just did that was very successful – even for my “lowest” kiddos and is aligned to Common Core.  First we talked about lines and put them together to make a triangle.  We identified the corners or points with magnets.

Then I gave students strips of paper and had them make triangle – first they made the green, then blue, then multicolored (challenge).
