A note for parents

Counting sides and corners is how children learn what makes a triangle a triangle. A shape is named by its sides, not by its size or color.

How to help

Run a finger along each side as they count.
Mark the first corner so they know where to stop.
Notice that sides and corners match every time.

Choose "Actual size" or "100%" when printing. A4 is 210 x 297 mm; US Letter is 8.5 x 11 in. The black-and-white version uses less ink.
