Peer reviewedDamarin, Suzanne K. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
Several activities that can be used to give children more experience with triangles are submitted. By handling triangular shapes and building triangles with strips, pupils can experience a diversity of triangles in a very concrete way. Examination of triangles and nontriangles can help develop understandings of some inequalities. (MP)
